The Washington Capitals celebrated their Stanley Cup victory with the ultimate party that basically lasted all summer long. To celebrate the Cup win, some members of the Capitals got tattoos just two days after the victory and T.J. Oshie was one of the players that got a tattoo.
From what we saw on social media, most of the tattoos had something to do with the Stanley Cup win, but as we found out courtesy of Uproxx, Oshie got a Mario character tattooed on his leg:
I saw you mentioned somewhere that you played a lot of Mario Kart during the Cup run and sometimes you wouldn’t leave the hotel at all, you just wanted to focus in on the series and kill time with video games. Are you a big gamer on the road during the season?
No, it’s actually just part of the playoffs for me. I don’t have any time at home to play video games with two little ladies running around the house. But it was something that started, gosh I don’t know, it’s been around for a while now. We even did it in St. Louis, but it wasn’t Mario Kart we played other games.
In the playoffs you get a team suite when you’re on the road because you’re playing in the same city a couple times in a row, which you don’t do during the regular season. So they kind of make a suite for us, and I got kind of addicted, I guess, to playing Mario Kart with some of the fellas.
It was kind of our routine in between games on the road to get a couple games in. Well, I guess more than a couple for some of us. But it was just kind of a bonding thing that we had, but yeah, it was fun and now I got Wario tattooed on my leg.
Getting a tattoo of Wario is quite the unique way to commemorate a Stanley Cup win, but we love it and hope to see a picture of it in the future.
