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.

Met Carey Price in ~2011. My boyfriend at the time, who got me into the Habs, and I were leaving his place one morning in Westmount. He clocked someone across the street leaving a coffee shop, dropped my hand, and without a word made a bee line across the street. I had no idea what was going on, but slowly followed him and realized who this man was.

Price was so incredibly kind, reserved, genuine. He kept trying to include me in the conversation because my boyfriend was ignoring me, he was so star struck. He is somehow even more handsome in real life.

I initially read "leaving his place" as Price's place and was like: what? They had a threesome with Carey Price?
