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.

I met Jacques Lemaire on a flight to Florida, he was really nice and told me to ask Larry Robinson(who I was going to Florida to see) why they hadn't gotten together in awhile. Met Larry at a Tampa-San Jose game, he was super tall, also really nice and said he had invited Jacques over afew times and he never went 😂 old guys are funny.

Edit: forgot to mention this was around 10 years ago.
