Fan's Chicago Blackhawks Tattoo Celebrates Team's 2013 "Stanley Cup"

Russell Pederson is a confident Chicago Blackhaws fan. Is confident the right word?

After his beloved team hoisted the Stanley Cup in 2010, he got a large tattoo on his right arm commemorating the franchise’s championship years. That’s a fairly normal decision compared to the one he made Wednesday when he went ahead and added a “2013” to his ink. That bit of bravery was done before the Blackhawks evened up the series with a thrilling overtime win in Game 4.

I’m sure at no time during that seesaw affair did he regret his decision.

" “I don’t believe in jinxes,” Pederson told NBC 5. “I do believe it’ll go seven games, but I’m confident the Hawks are going to win the Cup.” "

Pederson has a contingency plan of turning the 3 to an 8 if Chicago wins it all in 2018, so maybe he really thought this through after all.
