Nick Suzuki Sits Down with Carey Price for a Candid Chat
Nick Suzuki: Hey Carey, it’s great to finally catch up off the ice! How’s everything going with you?
Carey Price: Hey Nick! Things are going pretty well. Just recovering and spending some more time with the family. How about you? How’s it feel leading the team?
Nick Suzuki: Oh man, it’s definitely a huge honor. Big shoes to fill, especially with guys like you having set such a high standard. I have to ask, do you have any advice for me as captain?
Carey Price: (laughs) Well, first off, just be yourself. The guys respect you for who you are. But I’d say the biggest thing is to always keep the team focused. It’s a long season with lots of ups and downs. What about you, how are you handling all the pressure?
Nick Suzuki: I try not to think too much about the pressure. It’s more about making sure I’m prepared and giving my best. I’ve been spending extra time studying our opponents — lucky for me, I have some amazing goaltenders to bail me out if I screw up. (winks)
Carey Price: (chuckles) Sounds like a good plan. Preparation is key. Speaking of that, your offensive play has really been on point. What’s your secret?
Nick Suzuki: Honestly, it’s been about finding the right balance. Working with our coaches, honing those small but crucial details. Plus, having great linemates makes it a lot easier. We’re always pushing each other to get better. How about you, do you miss the bright lights and action on the ice?
Carey Price: There are days I miss the thrill, especially the big games and the camaraderie with the guys. But at the same time, it’s been nice to slow down and catch up with life off the ice. Any big goals for you this season?
Nick Suzuki: Definitely aiming for the playoffs. I think we’ve got a solid group, and with the right mindset, we can make a strong run. On a personal note, just want to keep improving, keep leading by example. Who knows, maybe bring the Cup back to Montreal!
Carey Price: That’s the spirit! Just remember, it’s a team effort. Keep the energy high, and anything’s possible. Can’t wait to see you guys crush it this season.
Nick Suzuki: Thanks, Carey! Your support means a lot. Hopefully, we’ll make you proud. And hey, maybe we can grab a coffee sometime soon and talk more. Deal?
Carey Price: Deal. Looking forward to it, Nick. Keep up the great work!
And there you have it — a moment shared between two hockey greats, each committed to excellence both on and off the ice.
