Regardless, after me and my son had met him at an oldtimers game, Anderson was auctioning off an Oilers jersey in between periods for charity, and the crowd was buzzing, cheering. Anderson asked the lighting guy to turn off the spotlight...which would have left the place in the dark (the arena lights take about 30 to 45 seconds to get bright enough). I don't know if it was the noise or the logistics with the lighting, but Anderson stormed off the ice in a huffy, taking the jersey with him. It was the same Prima Donna attitude that he had in the personal meetings that I did not care for, or want my children to experience.
