Questions and answers have been modified for clarity and conciseness.
Pepe\bs\ asks: What do you think about Juraj Slafkovsky?
I think Slaf's a great kid. He's my roommate on the road. So, we got a chance to get to know each other pretty well and he's a fantastic kid. I think he has a long career ahead of him and he's just a nice kid off the ice as he is talented on the ice. So, you know, I love Slaf and he's a big jokester and we all love him in the locker room.
Canadiantoshi asks: What have you enjoyed most about being in Montreal?
That's a good question. Honestly, meeting people all around town and seeing how passionate the fanbase in the city is about hockey in general. Everyone I met on the street has been super nice and approachable and really positive. And it seems like there's a great energy around our team and the fanbase. So, that means a lot as a player. I know the other guys in the room definitely feel that and appreciate it a lot.

      Jordan Harris answers fan questions on Twitch

      MrSnatchQc asks: Do you have any pre-game rituals?
      Yeah, I have a lot. I'd say it starts right when I wake up, pretty much. I usually eat the same breakfast, go through the same stretching stuff for pregame skate, nap, usually eat the same thing for lunch, nap, and then come to the rink. I do pretty much the same stuff, like tape my stick at the same time, same snacks before the game. It gets a little repetitive, honestly, but it kind of dials in your mind and gets you in the zone for the game, so I've stuck with it.
      Tricolore31 asks: If you weren't a hockey player what would you do?
      Honestly, I'd be a doctor, probably. I'm really interested in how the body works and taking care of it. And I know it's a lot of schooling, but I'd probably be a doctor. My dad's a physical therapist and my mom's a nurse, so it kind of runs in the family. I wasn't able to do any medical stuff with hockey, but the human body has always been really interesting to me.
