  • Postgame sound after the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    SOUNDBITE (English): Jon Cooper, Tampa Bay Lightning Head Coach

    (On his team's play in the third period and series)

    "Well, I'd say the third period. The second period, what were the shots, like 8-7? It was kind of a ho hum, nothing period really. But second game in a row in the third period, we're just not generating enough. We're, especially tonight, we were a little bit opportunistic. I mean, we had some big time chances, especially last couple shifts in that third period, but we were just too much one and done and not taking advantage of what we're good at. We do it in spurts, but we haven't done it for six periods now against these guys. But ultimately, you know, we got one of them. I don't want to sit here and say, oh, well, we did our thing. We got one. We came here to get two, and we had, albeit, we may not have been the better team tonight, but we were one shot away. So it's unfortunate the way it turned out. But we've got to up our game moving forward here."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Mike Sullivan, Pittsburgh Penguins Head Coach

    (On what win does for team's confidence)

    "I think it's a big boost. I think it's a big boost for Sid (Sidney Crosby). I think it's a big boost for our team. Obviously, this is an important win for us to even the series. But I thought it was a collective effort. The whole group, I thought, played extremely well. But, obviously, when Sid (Sidney Crosby) gets an OT (overtime) winner like that in that fashion, I think it's a big boost for our team."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins Captain

    (On game-winning goal)

    "Yeah, it's a great play by Dumo (Brian Dumoulin). He keeps the puck alive along the wall and then makes the pass to Rusty (Bryan Rust). I think he was changing, so coming along the blue line there. I didn't think Rusty (Bryan Rust) saw me, so I just tried to let him know I was there. I didn't know exactly what he was going to do. He was pretty low. He had a good chance to maybe shoot it too, but he made a perfect pass and put it in an area that I could get a quick shot away."
