But a quick look at his Hockey Reference page reveals he had two 30+ point seasons, sub-50 PIMs each year, and was up over 20 minutes a night each year. Whatever the reasons they didn't get it done those years, it wasn't Aucoin's fault.
Sorry, Adrian. You went on and played 20+ a night for another three years, and finished your career as a Jacket, sure showing me.

He won the Flames hardest shot contest using a wooden stick, and told kids there was no need to ask their parents to spend $300+ on a stick to shoot hard. I will forever like that about Aucoin.
