Howie Meeker talked about it in his biography. Asked if he ever felt like turning down an autograph, he replied that yeah, he felt like that on lots of occasions. But he remembered back to when he was a kid and Busher Jackson was more than happy to provide him with one when he was a little busy.
Ever hear of Iginla walking past anyone?

You've never been at this level. How could you have a rule?
Rios sucked that day, and was having a bad couple of games, but there is NO excuse for a fan to turn on him. Maybe he was pissed and started to waiver and would have turned around to give the kid an autograph right before he got in the car, but that loser fan decided to start dumping on him. The fan was way more of a ###### in that video than Rios. He is human, not a robot, I probably would have told the fan off too.
Edit: I dont care who you are, if you claim to be a fan of a team, then you support the team, especially in front of your kids. This a-hole just taught his kids right there, that it is ok to trash your heroes as soon as they start struggling.
Father = ######
Rios = dumbass for giving in to ######.
