I've met Hank Sedin before, was working in his building, rode the elevator with him. He was bigger than I thought in person, sweedish accents are hilarious. His wife is smoking.
At a Canucks game this year, I think it was against the Ducks. I had a GM place parking pass and Luongo got in the elevator with his wife and kid. All I could say was 'Ahhhhhh' (cute kid, lol) It was when he was injured and he was all spruced up in a nice italian suit. (my girlfriend pretty much creamed her pants)
The best though was a few years ago I was at the movie theatre and I ran into Cliff Ronning. I had to say hi. I shook his hand I was like 'Hi, Mr. Ronning, I sure wish you could come play in vancouver again.' (this was after he destroyed the Canucks in the playoff series vs. the Wild) I was all wide eyed like a little kid. What a class act. Ronning was my childhood hero. I was always a small kid and I just idolised the guy. I ended up being like a half inch taller him, lol. I love Ronning. I'm still cheesed at the Canucks for not picking him up at the end of his carrer, cost us a playoff series...
Kane was the first non-canuck I've ever brushed shoulders with.
