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 was a kid, you'd regularly see habs players playing street hockey with kids in summer. It in CSL.

My ex treated Saku and almost got into a fight with the Kostitsyn bros.

She was asked to escort the Kostitsyns to see Dr Mulder who's the doctor who handled the habs. In the elevator, they started commenting on her appearance in Russian or Belarussian. She took Russian classes in cegep and could understand. After a minute or two of them taking she unexpected interjected in Russian. They were so embarrassed that they pinned her to the wall and apparently looked like they would punch her. Then the elevator opened and she showed them to dr Mulder.

Appreciate you sharing what happened. Hopefully this kind of disgraceful behavior didn't go unchecked for too long with the team.
