from the Calgary Herald,
It’s not like the older defencemen ignored him completely.
It’s not like Adrian Aucoin, breaking in with the Vancouver Canucks in 1995, wasn’t involved.
“They’d tell me to get the beer and I’d get the beer,” says Aucoin, grinning. “I didn’t say a word. That’s the way it was. They were the best guys”—Dave Babych, Dana Murzyn, Jyrki Lumme, Jeff Brown, Bret Hedican—“and I had a great time, but it was different then.”
Craig Conroy, recalling his formative years with the Montreal Canadiens, can vouch for that.
Veterans ruled the roost—if not with an iron fist, then at least with a spiked tongue.
