I remember back in the late 80's playing ball hockey and this asshat showing up in a Flames jersey with the #9 crested on it and the words "Old Man" on the back. We asked him why he did it and his response was that Lanny McDonald was washed up and over rated. Well, we tackled him to the ground and ripped the sweater off him and tossed it in the trash. We also told him that disrespecting a player like Lanny was not cool, and if he tried to retrive his jersey from the garbage he was going to get a beat down
