Max Pacioretty opens up on the differences between playing for the Maple Leafs and Canadiens

"There just seems to be so much less pressure, and whether you admit it or not, you just go about your everyday life in such an easier manner that it really (takes) so much less of a toll on you," he said. "Whether you're a leader or a young guy, there's no media here. Even if you don't read the media in Montreal, you know what's being said."

He added: "I was so used to (coming) to the rink after a loss - two or three losses - and it's the end of the world. No one's talking to each other, and it's heavy. You go out to dinner and everyone's complaining about the team, and the traffic, and the weather. In Vegas, you can lose three in a row and everyone's still positive."

«My kids say it's best looking jersey they've seen on me».

"You don't choose the Maple Leaf, the Maple Leaf chooses you. When you put on the sweater, it almost feels like you're a little plant being watered and one day collectively with Leafs Nation , you're going to sprout into this beautiful maple tree and provide thick, rich syrup for families across the country. That's why it's so special being a Maple Leaf and the kids felt the passion in the air immediately."
