PITTSBURGH — The mood inside PPG Paints Arena, pure jubilation after the Penguins exploded for five goals in the span of four minutes, 27 seconds Sunday, could not have been more different than it was inside this building just three nights earlier.
This time, it was the home team that was blowing the doors off a Cup hopeful, with goal after goal after goal scored on poor Tampa Bay goalie Brian Elliott.
It was a get-right night for a number of Pittsburgh’s most maligned players, with Teddy Blueger, Jeff Carter and Brian Dumoulin part of the scoring spree.
