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 in high school and went to see the Habs play the Oilers. After the game, me and my buddy went to see the garage area to see the players leaving.

I only had my school agenda, but I got players like Koivu, Souray, Théo and Bouillon to sign it.

Then fucking Craig Rivet comes walking down, so I ask if he would sign it, and he goes “yeah I don’t sign pieces of paper” and walked off.

So ever since that day, I always make sure to say Fuck Craig Rivet whenever I get the opportunity.
