In 1989 he scored the Cup-winning goal as the Calgary Flames won the Stanley Cup. Dealt to Toronto in 1991, Doug established the Maple Leafs single-season records for assists (95) and points (127) in 1992-1993. That same year he won the Frank Selke Trophy as the NHL’s outstanding defensive forward.
