A lot of people were pretty happy about the unseasonably warm weather here lately.
The guys who maintain the ice at PPG Paints Arena probably weren’t among them Sunday.
“It’s been 65 degrees outside the last couple of days, so it’s probably tough for the building to stay cold,” Penguins left winger Conor Sheary said.
Evidently.
The first period of what became a 5-1 Penguins victory against Boston had to be stopped with 6:26 remaining when a crater developed by the right-wing boards inside the attacking zone near the Penguins bench.
Defenseman Ian Cole called it “a pretty good hole” and estimated that it was about a foot long and more than an inch deep.
