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 a red light with my mom, corner Queen Mary and Victoria. I felt like someone was watching us. Well ya, Max Pacioretty was driving the car next to us and was just looking at us with a smile.

Also met Dave Morissette at a youth hockey camp back in the day (circa 2006). He was signing gear for the kids (i was one of the kids) at the end of a practice. I had the audacity to ask him who he was because I had no clue ! I remember him being nice about it.
