A spirit of vengeance is in the Penguins locker room now. After losing their opener, the Penguins are preparing their revenge against a team that was eliminated last spring.
And Saturday's game will be like no other because now the hatred is part of the rivalry between the two teams.
"The guys are still on the heart," says Kristopher Letang. "Canadian became a team as much as we hate the Capitals and Flyers. "
" It's the team that beat us in the playoffs. They won the last game at Mellon Arena. For sure we will do everything to win against the Canadiens here Saturday, "said Pascal Dupuis for his part.
"Their French players will talk of a rivalry," says Hal Gill. There was a seven-game series that has created a rivalry which is nice "
Jacques Martin argues that the Penguins are still part of the elite in the National League and he is not displeased to find that returns Mike Cammalleri of his suspension.
"I can not wait. It's a new season for us and victory will be necessary ", said the principal concerned.
With the return of Cammalleri, Mathieu Darche is who will cede his place. Meanwhile, Jacques Martin has revealed he wants a return to Roman Hamrlik for the opening match Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. However, we are still waiting for Andrei Markov.
