If you were under the impression that Henrik Zetterberg isn't one of the classiest players in the league, this story will surely convince you.

The following message was sent to the Ottawa Citizen by a fellow named Mike, whose friend Ryan was the victim of some beer spillage on Tuesday night in Ottawa:

My buddy Mike and I were down against the glass for the warms ups last night in the Red Wings end ... he had his beer sitting on the up against the glass as we were taking pics. When Hank was done stretching, he got up and banged into the boards a couple times.

In doing so, Mike’s pint went smashing to the floor. We knocked on the glass to show him what happened as I got a kick out of it. Zetterberg started laughing! A few minutes later, he went over to the bench, grabbed one of his brand new game sticks and autographed it saying: “Sorry! I owe u one! (with his signature.) He skated over and tossed it over the glass to us! How classy is that guy!!! Amazing!

As many of us know, a beer can cost a pretty penny at some sporting events, but I'm sure this fan would trade in a pint for an autographed stick by Zetterberg any day of the week. What a kind gesture by the Red Wings captain.
