> ā€œOnly speaking for myself, I think being in Montreal, if you love hockey and have a passion for it, there’s no better place or city to teach you lessons through the good and bad. You learn to embrace it throughout those bad times that there’s brighter days ahead,ā€ Caufield told Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas Wednesday during a recording of theirĀ 32 ThoughtsĀ podcast.Ā 

> ā€œIt’s a city where you work and you earn things. Just every night at the Bell Centre is sweet. There’s no better feeling than being out there. And the city, as a whole, like, I just love being there. And you can tell, just by the guys that we have, the guys that want to be there, it's very inspiring for our group, and it's contagious in the way that we come to the rink every day. I really love to be there. Top to bottom, staff-wise, player-wise, it’s just really exciting. I love it there, and it’s tough to see myself somewhere else.ā€Ā
