Panjodh Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Manny Malhotra is one of the nicest guy I've met. He's just so classy and took the time to take a picture with me and my friends. I met Brandon yip to. He looked nice at first but he was kind of a d*ck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wayne Gretzky - not because of who he was (there were players I Iiked more), but I met him about 20 years ago (when players didn't appear as down to earth as they are today) and he seemed naturally inclusive. I was out for dinner and he was sitting with Luc Robitaille, Bobby Carpenter and Marty McSorley. I walked by, said hello and didn't want to bother them, but he said hello and asked me who I was - he turned the conversation away from himself, asked a lot of questions about my life, was genuinely interested, and made me feel like we were friends. He left a very classy impression. They wound up asking me where the best night club in town was and they showed up there that night. It was quite an entertaining night... Howie Meeker, in person, was a crusty guy... My wife grew up as neighbors to Mike Babcock - her and her family feel that he is a true quality person - just as he appears... I think Sami Salo would be a great guy to have a beer with. So many of the Canucks seem like they are genuine class acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMalamute Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Well I've only met the Courtnall's, Garth Butcher, Brendan Morrison and Brian Burke, if that counts. Burkie was... well Burkie. The other three were all very nice fellas. On that note, I also met Jamie Kennedy... Mega Tool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_kirk1 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Dan Hamhuis, legit. Met Bure back in the day too, he was funny. Pulled up by Canada Place in his black luxury car and gf. Shook hands and my cousin got a photo with him. Non-Canuck - believe it or not is Kelly Hrudey. Met him at a Canucks game in Calgary. We said hi and he was nice enough to ask us where we were from and talk hockey. Mike Milbury not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KelMo Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I ran into the Darcy "The Mayor" Rota at Horseshoe Bay. He was walking his dogs and waiting for his wife. For those that weren't around, he was a sniper back in the '82 cup final days, but had to end his career due to injury. He was not only the nicest Canuck, but a pretty sweet guy as well. He signed my hat and was generally interested in what I was doing and where I was from. He later re-approached me after he saw that my GF had an iPhone and asked if I wanted to take a picture with him. Blew me away, as I was just a kid when they made the run to the finals in '82.

-DLC- Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Trevor Linden. Every time I had the good fortune of chatting with him he was always gracious, friendly and warm. Hands down, my favourite. I also really liked Pat Quinn...he was a kidder and gave me a bit of a ribbing. That was a thrill. Bert was super cool. Ronning is very down to Earth. I haven't had any bad experiences.

Underachieving Hero of CDC Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Met Juice when he was out shopping with his wife/kids. Didn't bother him too much obviously but he was super nice and very willing to talk to and shake hands with a couple Canucks fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
