Question from @ptro19 via Instagram Story

Who has the best fan experience in another NHL arena? What will the Canadiens do to surpass that?

Well first of all, I love the game experience at the Bell Centre. It's a really fun atmosphere and there's nothing like being at the Bell Centre for a Canadiens game.

There are a lot of teams that do a great job with their fan experience. Every team has their own unique experience they offer their fans, and it's interesting because what works in one market might not necessarily work in another. I enjoy the experience in Vegas. They have a really entertaining game presentation offering and it fits well with their market.

What has been the hardest part of this quarantine for you?

I really miss going into the office every day and seeing all of the Bell Centre employees face-to-face, planning and discussing new opportunities or just talking hockey. We're still doing that virtually, of course, but I love working together in person and I'm really looking forward to being able to do that again.

Question from @vicspatolisano via Instagram Story

How have you been spending your free time in quarantine?

Other than working, I've been making sure to exercise outside every day for at least an hour and we have family dinners together every night. I haven't picked up any new hobbies yet. I just started season three of Ozark. That's a great show. I dabbled with Tiger King, but I didn't quite make it through the first episode. I might give it another shot.

Can we expect to see Alexander Romanov in a Montreal Canadiens jersey during the 2020-21 season?

Well, Alexander is still under contract in the KHL until April 30, so I can't really say much about that. We really liked what we saw from him at the World Juniors, though.

Question from @nolan.t4ylor via Instagram Story

Who was your favorite player growing up?

Steve Shutt. When I was a kid, I was a left winger, and he played left wing and he scored a lot of goals, so I liked to watch him play. That's also why I wore number 22. As I progressed in my own hockey career, I switched to defense, and Chris Chelios became my favorite player because he had a nice mix of talent and grit. He was fun to watch.

Question from @Irish_11 via Instagram Story

Will the Canadiens be getting a third jersey anytime soon?

During our Centennial in 2009, we reissued a few classic jerseys from our history. Since then, we've been wanting to do a third jersey when the time was right. It's been 10 years since our Centennial, so we would love to make that happen at some point in the near future.

What do you think of a possible return of the Quebec Nordiques? Are you in favor of it and would you support their candidacy?

I've always said that the Canadiens-Nordiques rivalry was one of the best rivalries in all of sports. To see that come back would be great. If the opportunity ever came about to bring a team to Quebec City, I would be supportive.

We saw after the lockout that a long break favored teams that had a good crop of young prospects. Do you think the Canadiens will be a better team when play resumes? Do you think we'll have a full season next year?

We have an excellent bank of young prospects coming up through the organization and they'll be coming back a year older, a year more developed, and a year more mature. So, yes, I think as an organization we will be better. And I sure hope we find a way to finish the current season and then play a full season next year, but it's still too early to know what will happen.

Question from @Henry_molson9 [Geoff's son] via instagram story

Who is your favorite child?

(laughs) Did Henry really ask that? That's funny. Well today [April 16] my favorite child is William, because it's his 18th birthday. So today he's my favorite, but overall I love them all equally.
