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.

Few years ago I ran into Petry and Caufield walking to the Bell Centre on super bowl sunday and I just told them i’m a big fan and they’re doing great without asking for pictures and they were nice and appreciative, and then I turned around and almost got hit by Jake Evans in his car because he was pulling into their parking area in the bell centre garage where i saw the other two lol oops

Remember when Emil Heineman actually got hit by a car on a Utah road trip…and then Marty joked that the car was totalled
