Islanders Forecheck 8: Adrian Aucoin on Barry Trotz’s Islanders, the NYI revival in 2001, and what made Clark Gillies a legend

Hockey Press Pass by Chris Botta

Episode notes

After Chris and Pat discuss the state of the Islanders, Adrian Aucoin joins the show and shares stories of his time with the early-2000s teams that revitalized the franchise – including ones about starting 11-1-1-1, his funniest teammates, the frat house shared by a quartet of his teammates near him in Garden City, and a contract extension with Mike Milbury that was overruled by ownership. Adrian also provides his view of Barry Trotz and the current Islanders, and, of course, personal memories of the great Clark Gillies.
