Lanny McDonald was doing an autograph signing to mark the grand opening of the new Futureshop in Lethbridge.
Waiting in line, chatting it up with other fans. Finally, it's my turn. I talk to him briefly, shake his hand, check out his ring. He asked me if I wanted him to sign my jersey. It was at that moment I realized I was wearing my Regehr jersey, and I don't know what the protocol is with getting autographs from the wrong player on a name jersey.
"Uh, no thanks! I'm saving this for Regehr."
"You're a fan of Robyn, huh?"
"Yes."
*awkward silence*
"Will you sign my hat?"
He was so nice, and so obliging. I truly felt stupid, though, denying a hockey legend from signing my jersey.
Another time, my sister was at some bar, and she texts me:
"Some Flames players are here."
"WHO?!?!?!?!?!?"
"I dunno."
"GET PICTURES WITH THEM"
"Ok"
Time goes by.
"They said they aren't allowed to take pictures. But then, I told them the picture was for my brother, and they let me take pictures with them."
From that point, I found it kind of creepy that Boyd and Nystrom wouldn't get a picture with my sister, until they found out the picture was for me.
