The Nashville "Smashville" Predators fan base is taking over the NHL. In a city that probably wouldn't be considered a huge hockey market just two years ago, the fan base has been absolutely crushing it ever since the Preds' improbable run to the Stanley Cup finals last year. That fan base is not limited to just your average Joe's either, along with Country singing superstar Carrie Underwood, a few other celebrities were in attendance for Game 2 against the Winnipeg Jets.
Marcus Mariota, quarterback for the Tennessee Titans, as well as the entire offensive line showed up. If their gladiator-like builds weren't enough to get noticed, their absolutely legendary pregame moment was sure to turn some heads.
Yup. That's Taylor Lewan at the bottom of a catfish, chugging beers being poured directly up the back. Does it get much cooler than that? On top of this moment, "Smashville" has elevated the fan experience to a whole other level.
