Fuck Nashville.

Fuck their inbred fans who cheer louder for an hard or illegal hit than for a goal. Fuck their butthurt WE GOT SCREWED BY REFS and inevitable bribing of idiot mustache refs.

Also, fuck Jordin Tootoo for stepping, full skate, on Kris Draper's back and getting away with it. ONLY IN NASHVILLE!

Yep, truly a great, flattering display of what it means to be a Predators fan. Letting the franchise nearly die, continually sparse attendance (unless the Wings are playing, of course), cheering louder for dirty hits than for goals, then throwing any final traces of civility out the window.

Hey by the way, Nashville evened up a first-round series against Detroit back in 2004. Ditto for Calgary in last year's first round. Remind me, what happened in those scenarios, again?

By that argument, the Sharks and Ducks are just as guilty of choking against an Oilers squad that barely squeaked into a playoff spot. Almost the same for the Hurricanes who required all seven games to defeat that same Oilers squad. At least the Wings were beaten by the team that got within one game of the Cup, the Preds were knocked out by a Sharks squad that wound up being a complete dud by the second round.

I said season ticket holders. Also,
On June 13, it was announced that season ticket deposits for the "Hamilton Predators" would begin to go on sale through Ticketmaster the next day. A source said Balsillie's objective was to show the league's governors that there is a large base of ticket buyers in Southern Ontario.[22][23] After the drive started, over 13,000 season ticket deposits were sold, including all of the 70 available corporate box deposits, costing $5,000 each.[24][25] At the time, there were just under 9,000 season ticket holders in Nashville.[26]

The arguably better Wings goalie is in net. Legwand and Arnott are both no-shows. If Osgood shakes off Hasek's two-goal-combo streaks I can't see the Predators winning this one.
