Technically I didn't meet him and I'm not sure if I would classify it as embarrassing rather than cool that he actually acknowledged me but the first time I ever got to see the Flames play was in Winnipeg in the early 90s.
So me and my parents are sitting by the boards watching warmup and I'm watching Fleury who was my favorite player and all of a sudden I hear a loud boom next to my head that stuns me and turns me ghost white. There comes Al MacInnis skating up to me laughing and then shrugging his shoulders as he says "sorry".
