What to do about Versteeg's tattoo?
From: Gonzalez, John To: Fox, Ashley; Fitzpatrick, Frank Subject: Ink-stained wretch Kris Versteeg has a tattoo on his right arm: 06.09.10. That's the date the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup last year - and the Flyers didn't. Do the Flyers need to hold him down and scrape it off with a skate blade, or is it acceptable?

He won it and they didn't. No one can take that away from Versteeg or the rest of the Blackhawks. If he wants to ink the date on his arm, so be it. That's between him and his mom.

At least it's not arched across his stomach, Tupac- style. Still, that's got to be a kick in the hockey pads for those guys.
On a semi-related note, if we ever shut down Team Talkin, I think we should all get inked up to commemorate the event. Ashley will go first.

The Flyers could do the same, though it's been so long since they won a Stanley Cup they might have to hire a shaman to recall the date. I can see it now. Roman numerals.
