Boston’s Brad Marchand could have used a spell-checker when he got his celebratory ink. Â Check the tattoo and what happened after the jump…
There was always something curious about Marchand’s tattoo. Like the way “Stanley” nearly looked like “Starley”; and the way “champions” sure did resemble “champians.”
Did the artist forget to run spell-check on Brad Marchand’s ink? The answer, spelled correctly: Y-E-S.
Marchand confirmed there was a gaffe made on his Stanley Cup tattoo, in his recent “diary” for ESPN Boston:
Let me clear something up. After we won, a bunch of us got tattoos here in the dressing room of the Garden. Mine originally was misspelled. Instead of saying Stanley Cup Champions it said Stanley Cup Champians. I don’t even know how that happened. After I got it, I came in the room and someone was like it says champians … with an a.
So I went back and the tattoo guy fixed it after that. It’s fixed now. It never said Starley either, not sure how that rumor got started. It’s Stanley. They obviously knew how to spell Stanley Cup. The only thing that was wrong with it was an a and he turned it into an o for champions.
That’s what you get for going to a tattoo “parler.”
