The 26-year-old Burlington, ON native subsequently reflected in more detail on his first visit inside the Canadiens' dressing room:
It was kind of hard to figure out the parking situation when I got in there because I had no idea where I was going, but other than that, once I got settled in, just walking around the dressing room and you kind of get lost in there a little bit. But other than that, it was pretty special. They've got everything you need. Looking back at all the history and all the players that have been here and all the Stanley Cups when you walk in, it kind of takes your breath away. I was kind of speechless for the first 10 minutes walking around the room just in awe. But I'm looking forward to going back there tomorrow and starting it out.

Byron, meanwhile, insisted that the team must be eqaully strong at home this season as it was recently in opposition territory:
We have to play the same way we did on the road. Every game will probably be similar this year because there aren't any fans. We have to play the same way every game. We have to continue to be good on special teams. That's really important in our game. It's a new year and we have a chance to compile a better record at home.
The 11-year NHL veteran also praised the work of linematers Jake Evans and Artturi Lehkonen:
I've always played with good players on the fourth line. I remember when I was playing with Phillip Danault and Torrey Mitchell. That was a good line. I see things in Jake's game that remind me of Phil. He's a young player who can continue to develop. Artturi is a very good player. He's good at both ends of the ice. It's easy to play with them. I just do my best to complement them. We're a good line defensively and we can help the team on offense.
