Predators raise a "Regular Season Western Conference Champions" banner....

[MtlBoxFan]

Not a good look at all especially to do it like they did similar to a jersey retirement or ahem...a Stanley Cup Banner.

It's a young expansion franchise with no history or numbers to retire. Let them raise banners. When they have 5+ stanley cups, they can take some regular season banners down.

Take it from a habs fan, there's room for PLENTY of banners up there.

Still better than Montreal expected ceremony to honor 92-93 Cup team or if you prefer 25 years without a cup.

I'm not sure what's wrong with you. After 25 years of futility, it's actually nice for the fans to applaud the last hockey players in Montreal that knew how to win it all. Montreal is definitely in the nostalgia business.

 

[Mikeshane]

Still less embarrassing than an All-Star game, at least this was accomplished against real competition.

 

[Its a Trap]

That's the whole point. Don't hang banners unless they are worth something.

Doesn’t read as the point. Soooo...

 

[Spazkat]

So Vegas and Nashville now both have 2018 Western Conference Championship banners?

The Predators need to take that down. It's embarrassing.

What should be even more embarrassing was they dressed their convicted domestic abuser and trotted him out on the ice in the middle of his suspension for the "ceremony"

Somehow the Pens never get grief for these

Cause they're awesome. They'd get grief if they were eastern conference top scorer banners

I don't see why fans get all butthurt over the quality of a banner being raised.

An accomplishment is an accomplishment.

I mean I'm not into ceremonies at all and don't think they should ever be over 2-5 minutes long but I don't get all triggered when they do a ceremony and hand out bronze medals at the Olympics.

Reminds me of when the Colts had that “AFC championship participant” banner or whatever that was.

Just like the Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl participant banners

Its ok to have a banner for this

Not ok to have a ceremony

 

[Syckle78]

Lmao I love this.

 

[Ratsreign]

Definitely

They raised three. President's Trophy banner (deserved) Central Division champs (deserved) and Western Conference Regular Season champs (lol?)

Aren't the second two givens after the first? What's the point other than to invite mockery.

 

[Ratsreign]

I don’t own the team but I would have hung one banner with all 3 accomplishments on it.

The presidents trophy banner alone speaks for the "three" accomplishments. You can't win that trophy without first winning your division as well as your conference (regular season).

That’s not lit, fam

At least they won a Cup. Many teams will have reuion ceremonies for Cup winning teams. It’s a 31 team league, Cups don’t come by often and easily. Droughts will be expected.

However, raising a banner for a regular a Conference championship, is a loser move and embarrassing to say the least. Talk about low expectations...

 

[triggrman]

Funny we're having a low expectations celebration and banner raising next month.

At least they won a Cup. Many teams will have reuion ceremonies for Cuo winning teams. It’s a 31 team league, Cups don’t come by often and easily. Droughts will be expected.

However, raising a banner for a regular season Conference, is a loser move and embarrassing to say the least. Talk about low expectations...

I wish I lived in your timeline.
