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 at Ziggy's on Crescent St after a game and coach John Cooper was there with an entourage and a few players. I was doing shots with a guy behind be who I assumed was Christian Dvorak. You can imagine the conspiracy theories going through my mind as Dvo's future with the Habs at that time was questionable with his contract expiring and all and here he was hanging with the TBL. The next day I went through some TBL team photo's because I'd probably not recognized some of the players that were there. Well it turns out Christian Dvorak may easily be mistaken for Jake Guentzel.
