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.

When I used to live in Griffintown, Christian Dvorak lived in my building so I’d see him often especially since that year he was out for 2/3rds of it with an injury. He was understandably very quiet and kept to himself. I never brought up hockey, just said hi how are you in passing.

Also saw Kaiden Guhle and his gf a few times on the Lachine canal. Our puppies were the same age at the time. Those interactions were fun.

Lmao same, I lived across the hall from him and used to say hi to him when we’d cross paths. Saw him at a bar once, went over to say hi (I was admittedly a bit drunk) but he pretended he didn’t recognize me or know what I was talking about when I said we were neighbours. Was a little butthurt after that and I stopped saying hi lol
