Retirement
Buzinzki finished his NHL career with a record of 2-6-1 and a 6.10 goals against average. His second and final win, a 5-3 victory over the Chicago Black Hawks on November 10, was noteworthy in that it was the last regular-season overtime game played for over 40 years - league president Frank Calder eliminated them 11 days later as part of wartime cutbacks - until they were restored in 1983.
In civilian life, Buzinski worked for 41 years as a plant breeder for Agriculture Canada during and after his hockey career, as well as coaching hockey at the intermediate level. The nickname "The Puck Goes Inski" is associated with Buzinski, but there are no contemporaneous uses of the moniker, which appears to have been coined by hockey writer Stan Fischler sometime in the 1970s. Buzinski's own comment on the origin of the nickname was "I have no idea at all. A lot of this is a figment of somebody's imagination."
