Penguins Coach Dan Bylsma answered the question about the signs of frustration from his team in Game 2, "Those things do happen," "But it's playoff hockey -- you've got to fight through those situations, and we know that and expect that having watched this team and scouted this team. We expect that to be how the games play out."

"We have to do a better job of getting inside and we have to do a better job in certain areas in the offensive zone -- and Geno and other players are part of that as well," Bylsma said. "The great thing about playoffs is that it is always about your next game."

Talbot said, “We felt like all of Quebec was behind the Penguins last year,”

“It will be crazy being in Montreal,” he said. “It will be crazy. Fun. Exciting. But we just need to control our emotions because it’s still an important hockey game.”

Fleury said Monday before the team flew to Montreal, “It was very special to see them win the Cup that year, so I think that it will be fun to be there and play a game there and it will be exciting”.

Cammalleri had two goals in Game 2, including the game-winner. He has three goals in this series and sits second in the League with 8 playoff goals.

“You know, coming back from the injury obviously I would have liked to play a little better, but things happen and what do you do?” Cammalleri said. “You just work harder at it and find a way to try and get better, and the playoffs have been exciting.”
