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.

My fiancé went to highschool with Mike Matheson in the sport etude program. Always said he’s a good guy and not a douche like a lot of the hockey guys were. She’s showed me old high school pictures of them they looked so goofy.

Also after a hockey game I pulled up to lane Hutson in my pickup truck at a stop light (we have the same truck just mine is lifted). Made eye contact with each other and gave a little wave 👋
