The Montreal Gazette paints a picture of how having trained ferociously through June and July, Canadiens forward Lars Eller sounds like a caged animal that couldn't wait for his trainer to open the door.
"I've been able to bulk up and get into even better shape coming into this season than last," Eller said Saturday. "At least with the same setup and same possibilities. What it really comes down to is that weight isn't the most important thing. Strength is, and that's all you can really work on in the offseason."
Eller reported to camp in January at 213 pounds. Today, Eller is about 220, not a gram of the new weight anything but muscle.
"It's not like if you get bigger you lose speed or agility," he said. "I make sure everything is properly balanced with the training, that the weight is properly placed.
"Last summer was more a matter of gaining some weight and mass. This year has been more fine-tuning my explosiveness, and we'll be working on that a lot this month, too.
"I'm definitely fitter. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to have a better season, but it's going to give me a better platform to start from."
