It was not a pleasant experience for anyone involved. The fans booed loudly at the end of the first period Monday after the Pittsburgh Penguins gave up six goals for the first time in franchise history.

“Anybody has a bad night or something like that, we have to stick as a team and stick with each other. It’s just a question of attitude. Obviously, it didn’t go our way in the first few minutes (against Dallas),” said Kris Letang Tuesday. “We have to limit the damages.
