On this episode of @StorytimeHockey , we look at how Dave Schultz was able to set the record for the most penalty minutes in a single season. There's no way a team would allow a player to go out and collect so many penalties on their own. How was it that the Flyers were ok with this, and did it help them win? In the player profile we look at the first German born NHL player Walt Tkaczuk and try to figure out why he turned down a chance to play in one of the biggest hockey stages of all time.
