Auger already was injured for quick a while after breaking a bone
in his hand (or was it wrist?) in the game earlier this year against
Princeton on a questionably malicious slash from a Princeton player
from what I have heard.
        Auger's the type of player which his fans would call "gritty" or
"pesky" and others would call "goonlike".  Kinda reminds me somewhat of
Esa Tikkanen in the NHL.  Auger also does have a scoring touch which is
something that the Big Red need desperately right now.
