It Is Perfectly Normal Behavior For This Ottawa Senators Fan To Get A Massive Tattoo Of Josh Norris On His Stomach. Find A New Slant
Icon Sportswire. Getty Images.There are a ton of young and exciting players in the NHL right now. It's clear that the league is in a perfect place to be ready to pass the torch from one generation of superstars to the next. Would I necessarily categorize Josh Norris as one of those young superstars? Ehhhh maybe a tier or so down. A really good player, no doubt about it. But not exactly the type of name that anybody who is just a casual hockey fan would know.
But don't tell that to my guy right here so who loves Josh Norris so much that he decided to get a massive tattoo of his face on his stomach.
Now here's the thing--as far as dudes faces to get permanently inked on your stomach go, you could do much worse than Josh Norris. He's a handsome cat, no doubt about it. That's a face where this fella can afford to toss on a few more lbs over the years and it still won't look god awful. Could you imagine if he got a tattoo of Phil Kessel on his stomach? No disrespect to Phil, but he's already got a thicc face as is.
With all that being said….I don't know. Is Josh Norris going to be one of those players who people will really remember when they ask this dude about his tattoo 30 years from now? I know he's got the potential to be a regular 20-30 goal scorer in the league but that's a massive risk. Again, I think Josh Norris is a really good player who can be a mainstay in that top 6. But there's also always a chance that he's Andreas Dackell. Do you have any idea who Andreas Dackell is? Me neither, but he was the 6th leading point scorer on the Senators in the 1996-97 season. That puts a ton of pressure on Josh Norris. Either he needs to have a long and successful career in Ottawa, or else this dude's tattoo is fucked a couple decades from now.
The good news is that this tattoo wasn't just for nothing. Apparently this fella made a deal with Josh Norris where he'd get an autographed jersey out of the tattoo.
The tattoo may have cost $1K, but you can't put a price on getting an autographed sweater from your favorite player. And Josh Norris, being the good ol' American boy he is, held up his end of the deal.
Maybe this was the final piece of the puzzle for the Senators rebuild. Ya never know.
