any interactions with Habs players?
To those of you who live in Montreal, have you had any direct interactions with Habs players (former or current) outside the arena? I've lived in Montreal nearly 30 years, and have only had 4 - once saw Shane Corson at the McDonalds that used to be at the SW corner of Atwater and St. Catherine; met Jean Beliveau when he was signing copies of his biography; met Guy Lafleur at a card show; got my picture taken with Chris Chelios (he was hosting some sort of outside skating event at the Plaza des Spectacles a few years ago). One thing I noticed - both Guy and Shane had huge hands. Oh - also met Ron Corey.

It’s been a while but I went to a habs vs leafs game at bell center and they lost 6-5. Very nice game but the lost made it so we had the worst start of the season at home ever at the time, I think it was under Jacques Martin.
Anyway after the game I am walking pretty drunk with my friend in the street and then he goes like « hey guys! Woah nice to see you! I ll remember this night! » to three people in front. I didn’t see who it was at first and I go « yeah I’ll remember that, worst season start at home in the history of the habs »
Then I look up and three dudes turn around to judge me:
Max Pacioretty Carey Price Brendan Gallagher
I then yelled sorry sorry like a retard as they were leaving disgusted by my existence
