Eight years ago today, Nick Bonino almost blew the roof off of PPG Paints Arena when he scored one of, if not the most prolific goal during his tenure as a member of the Penguins organization.
Flashback to a hot summer day in late May of 2016 when the whole town was abuzz and the Penguins were playing host to the Sharks for the opening game of the Stanley Cup Final.
The Penguins were back in the Final after six years of disappointment that felt like a lot longer than that.
The game started with a bit of a feeling out process until the Penguins’ offense struck.
