The Center would be traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and he would see a lot more ice time with his new team. Schock was a much better playmaker than he was a scorer, as shown by his personal best of 23 Goals (1974-75), but what he did do well was set up his wings. He would have three 30 Assist seasons, again with 1974-75 seeing him set his career-high (63). He was also a very good defensive forward and was Pittsburgh's main go-to on the penalty kill.
Schock played with the Penguins until the end of the 1976-77 Season, and he would play a final year in the NHL with the Buffalo Sabres. He would overall have 404 Points for the Pens.
33. Ron Schock
The most important goal that Ron Schock would have would be in a St. Louis Blues uniform when he lit the lamp in double overtime in Game 7 of the 1968 Conference Finals. That put the Blues into the Stanley Cup Finals in the first year of the club's existence. St. Louis didn't win, and a year later, Schock was not even a Blue.
