BROSSARD -- The Canadiens were back at it on Zoom on Friday, fielding questions from the media following their sixth day of training camp.

Here's a look at some of the best quotes of the day from Brossard:

Jeff Petry on already finishing one week of camp:

When this thing starts, it's going to start quick. We all know that every game is a big game, and every game matters in this shortened first round.

Nick Suzuki on facing Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin in the Qualifying Round:

Obviously they've been some of the top players in the League for a long time. I've seen a lot of their games and they've played in a lot of playoffs and I've always been watching. I'm definitely up for the challenge. I know it's going to be a difficult series but I think we have a lot of young centermen who are eager to prove they can play against some of the top players.

Suzuki on using his playoff experience with the Guelph Storm to prepare for the NHL postseason:

I think any playoff experience you can take to your advantage. It was definitely a mental grind being down in a lot of the series in the OHL and even at the Memorial Cup. It's mentally challenging. I think I did a pretty good job of handling that and I can always take that with me for the rest of my life.


Gustav Olofsson on being fully healthy following his shoulder injury:

Yep, completely [healed]. There's no extra time involved before practice or before warming up for the gym. That was a lot of extra energy I kind of carried with me last year, so it was nice to get past that in the early summer and later in the year. And even mentally just to get over that block and that hump was nice. Now it's just full focus on timing, positioning, speed of the game, making solid decisions with the puck, all that stuff, which is coming into play now during camp.
