Nick Bonino received his Stanley Cup ring Saturday morning, posed for a picture and quickly tucked the diamond-filled piece of jewelry into a jacket pocket.
As he has for most of his short time with the Nashville Predators, Bonino didn’t want to draw attention to himself or rub in the Penguins’ Stanley Cup victory.
“I know it’s still raw,” Bonino said. “It’s emotional. The last thing I want to do – and not that the guys have forgotten – is to bring that up in ways that aren’t nice. I’ll keep it quiet and celebrate it another time with my wife.
