There is a Hansen vs Predator on youtube. Chris looks rough and the decoy looks about 26. I just watch the re runs they never get old.
Predators!!!!!!!!
- Thread starter USSLair
- Start date
The Prodators lost last night, so I guess I'm for the Los Angeles Ducks of Anaheim or the Canada Senators
I'll admit I'm on the Predators bandwagon. Pretty cool that the 3 teams closest to here (Nashville, St. Louis, and Columbus) all made the playoffs again this year. Nashville has really gone bonkers for that franchise, so I'm all in on "Smashville." Subban is a helluva player.
I've got a lot of friends in Nashville and they've really gotten behind that team - I've got no real dog in the fight in the Preds/Ducks series, and the Sens/Pens series is tough for me because we are way past due for a CDN team to win a Cup, but I also really love Crosby.
No question the NHL playoffs are the best of any of the pro sports. Any team can win any series, the overtimes are fantastic, etc.

The Predators sold out every home game this season. They have a fairly large and passionate fanbase.
Hockey more than any other sport is completely different live vs on tv. It's impossible on tv to appreciate the speed and skill of the skaters and the viciousness of many of the hits.
^There are a ton of transplanted northerners in the middle Tennessee area. For example, General Motors moved people from Michigan to Tennessee by the thousands. And the originators of the Preds were very smart to put them in the same division as the Red Wings initially. For not being an original hockey program or situated in the North, you're very correct rqarnold.....the fan base is rather stout.
Still mad your team got beat by them I see. It's not over yet. But your team is. Cry baby *****.
Uhh...my team (that I actually watch during the regular season) is up 2-0. You still plan on going to Nashville for a game? Or have you already jumped off the bandwagon?
Your the biggest ***** on here. What bandwagon? Those of us that live in Kentucky and go to Nashville often doesn't make us bandwagon fans.
Your a special stupid dumbass. I'm gonna start to root for chicago or Pittsburgh or Washington next year so I'm not rooting for a team close to me, team I've actually attended. Is that what you want loser.
Once again you are a dumbass that doesn't even understand what the term bandwagon fan is.
If this was college football, basketball, pro baseball, basketball, football, that would be a valid statement. This is hockey. What could have been the Stanley Cup final game (game 6) was not ON TV in Kentucky just a few years ago. I don't understand why an ostensibly grown man cares why or how someone likes a sports team.
Sure there are a lot of bandwagon fans in Nashville. But it is a different type of bandwagon.

Hockey is at least the 4th most popular professional sports in the United States, and I'd probably rank it behind Auto Racing too. There just aren't a lot of people who grew up hockey fans. So most people don't have a team.
I've lived in Nashville just over 10 years. I've been going to at least 1 Preds game a year since then. I'm by no means a super fan like I am a Kentucky fan (since I grew up in Kentucky).
People in Nashville (and surrounding areas) are just looking for a team to support. Most of them have never had a favorite hockey team. The "bad" bandwagon fan, IMO, is someone who was a Penguins fan last year, and now is a Predators fan (or a better comparison is someone who is a Yankees fan, a Cowboys fan and Warriors fan).

The Preds have done a great job putting fans in the stands since they arrived in the 90's. There are a lot of transplanted Northerners in the Middle Tennessee area.
