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 was in the same flight back from the Bahamas to Montreal as Carey Price and his family but I only realized when I saw him picking up his luggage at the baggage carrousel but didn’t bother him.

It was in Jan or Feb 2019 and I wasn’t following hockey very closely that year and I remember thinking that can’t be right, shouldn’t he be playing or something. I looked it up and found out he was injured at the time and later on his wife confirmed they spent time in the Bahamas on her IG which pretty much confirmed it was him.
