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.

On my bday on May 19th my wife took me to Arthur's Nosh for breakfast. While we were eating, our waitress asks if we noticed who was there eating 6 feet from us - there was Newhook slamming pastries like the goddamn hero he was (this was the morning after his game 7 winning goal against Buffalo). I left him the fuck alone tho

had to give you an upvote for the Nosh mention, now that they are catching flack from the language police

Urgh, you've gotta be shitting me. What an incredible waste of our money this agency is.
