The Stanley Cup Final between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Chicago Blackhawks isn’t just about the action on the ice. Here’s a look at some of the happenings off the ice.
Jonny Baker and Cody Neal are co-workers, buddies and hockey fans whose loyalties lie more than skin deep. They also happen to be tattoo artists in Tampa who made their predictions for the Stanley Cup Final in a very permanent way.
Baker, a 32-year-old Chicago transplant, likes the Lightning but is sticking with his Blackhawks. Neal, 26, thinks the Bolts will win. The friendly rivalry took a big step before Game 1 on Wednesday with a bet on which team would win.
