Have met Theo Fleury, Lanny MacDonald, Wendel Clark, Valeri Kamensky, Grant Fuhr and Trent Yawney but none of these were embarassing incidents.

However, during the 2003-4 regular season, my girlfriend at the time (Oil fan) and I (Flames fan) decided to drive to Edmonton to catch a BOA. We stayed at a hotel near the arena, and we were planning to arrive at the arena extra early and I was racing down the stairwell to the hotel lobby (we were racing each other for whatever reason) and I push the door to the lobby,unnecessarily hard, slamming it into a group of three men in suits and ties. I started to apologize.

I did not recognize two of the guys, but the third was Darryl Sutter giving me this look that turned me to stone. The other 2 guys started to laugh as I stammered out the rest of my apology, and I exited the hotel as quickly as I could trying to not sound or look as awkward as I felt.
