Not really embarrassing, but awkward and awesome IMO and a story I love to tell. Nucks had been in town for a game and I was flying to Vancouver the next day, ended up on their plane. They flew commercial coach in those days apparently. I was in the middle seat and Kirk McLean was in the aisle, already seated. He didn't get up to let me past and with my carry on, it was tough to get past him. Banged him with my carry on. Sat down, looked at him and said "shoulda made like a puck, I woulda slid right past you". He did not laugh. We did not converse further on our one hour flight.
