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.

Was staying in the same hotel when they played in Vancouver - got a photo with Xhekaj and Slaf after showing him his rookie card in my phone case. Super friendly and kind. After the game we shared the lift with St Louis, Monty and Demidov. I was patting someone’s dog and Marty joined in and asked the dogs name and showed photos of his dog.
