Pretty classy on those guys.

I was there as well, although I remember it differently. Skipped my second day of University for it and showed up at 7 am outside Father David Bauer.
Got Gretzky, Lemieux, Iginla, Gagne, Pronger, Kariya, Recchi and Kelly Hrudey to sign. Mike Peca was going to walk straight to the bus, but we started an "#######" chant and he finally came over and signed a few jerseys, but not mine as I called him an #######. I think Pierre McGuire may have been there as well and showed us his Stanley Cup ring from his time with the Pens, but that was before anyone knew who he was.
