PIT@MTL Quotes of the day: Danault, Chiarot & Julien

TORONTO -- On the heels of a suspenseful Game 3 victory that saw Jeff Petry score his second game winner of the postseason, the Canadiens hit the ice at the Ford Performance Centre for some fine-tuning before Friday's Game 4 showdown.

Julien on how his preparation will change for Friday's 4:00 p.m. puck drop after taking part in 8:00 p.m. starts in each of the three postseason games to date:
"I don't think much changes. We won't have a morning skate tomorrow morning so we'll skate a bit this afternoon. It'll be really light, just to get the guys out of the hotel and get them moving a bit. That's what we've got planned. But 4:00 p.m. is a good time to play hockey and we'll be ready for it."

"We prepared ourselves well for the playoffs. It started a few weeks ago in Brossard when we arrived and like I've said since the beginning, we weren't expecting to be in the playoffs. We were given an opportunity and we need to take advantage of it. We have more to gain than we have to lose so it's important for us to give everything we've got. The players are doing that at the moment."
Chiarot on what Brett Kulak brings on the back end beyond the work of the team's "Big Three":
"I think Brett's been great for us. He's a big guy who skates really well and moves the puck. When he's doing all those things and he's confident, he's really effective for us. I think he's been doing that quite a bit for us lately and he looks great out there."

Chiarot on the vibe in the room heading into Friday's elimination game:
"The mood hasn't changed at all. The job isn't done. You have to win three games. I wouldn't say we feel any different than we did after our first win. We're feeling good and positive and we've built some belief on our team, but you try to keep that even-keel as everyone says during the playoffs. You have to have three wins and the job's not done so we're still a focused group."
Danault on living life in a bubble with the boys while his family is back home in Quebec:
"With everything we're living, it's part of the game, I guess. All the players are in the same boat. It definitely hurts, though. It's fun to celebrate with your teammates, too. It's a little different this year, like a team thing where we're all together after a game. But it definitely hurts. I want to know what my wife and kid are doing at home. She's taking care of [our son] which is nice of her."

"It's hard but at the same time it's part of the game. We're here right now and I'm enjoying every single minute of my playoff appearance. It's fun so far."
