Nick Suzuki: 'We’re not as far behind the Leafs as people think'

Indeed, in Suzuki’s eyes, the gap between the Habs and the Maple Leafs isn’t that wide, as yesterday’s game showed, when the Habs made the game close, even after trailing 4-0.

The captain believes that the team’s style of play allows them to compete against anyone, as reported by RDS.

“I don’t think we’re as far away from them as people might think. There are moments in this game and in other games when we’ve dominated them. With our style, we can play against pretty much anyone.” – Nick Suzuki

As Suzuki explains, it’s true that the Habs generally manage to dominate the Leafs at times, as well as other good teams.

The other NHL teams confirm that the Habs are tougher than last season.

The Habs are progressing very well, and this is largely due to the culture that Martin St-Louis has established within the team.

The guys want to win, regardless of their position in the standings, and that bodes well for the future.

Suzuki also had a few words to say about Michael Pezzetta’s fight, taking his hat off to him for his courage and determination.

The Habs captain also explained that the team was not afraid of Ryan Reaves.

Still,the Habs really missed Arber Xhekaj last night.
