Why we should all be rooting for Nashville in game 7

[kerrabria]

The Preds and the Jets are duking it out for the opportunity to play Vegas in the Western Conference Finals, and there could not be a more obvious choice for who we should be pulling for.

As we all know, the most important part of hockey is the pomp and circumstance. The Vegas Golden Knights have a panache that is unmatched by any team in the league, and they prove it at the opening ceremony of every playoff series with a thrilling homage to their secondary mascot and his time period. An imperial joust with a King...the slaying of a monstrous squalid...the pageantry has been unmatched.

Now in the coming round we can look forward to the Golden Knight wielding his blade against the saber teeth of a long fanged predator...unless Nashville loses to Winnipeg. And then what? Are we to expect the Golden Knight to duel a modern flying machine? Ridiculous! It would be a fiasco! The evening would be ruined.

For these reasons I am deciding for all of HF that we are to support the Predators of Nashville, Tennessee henceforth from this, May 8, until that, May 10, when the most important hockey match in decades takes place.

Either way, the Knight likely loses.

 

[Reds4Life]

Actually, seeing a knight slicing up a fighter jet sounds even more exciting.

 

[DannyGallivan]

If the Jet looked like me (see left), it would be a good show. Of course, the Knight would lose.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Whatever man.
I want the Preds to win but it's certainly not for cringy game opening ceremonies.

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

I like the game build up

I took jets in 6

So I got it wrong

Hopefully jets can steal it in Nashville

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

we should be rooting for Nashville because the alternative is a Canadian team winning

I just hate Canada.

 

[The Shovel Penguin]

Bettman is shooting for fifty.

 

[Kant Think]

I have seldom been so underwhelmed.

 

[domaug]

I'm rooting for Nashville to win game 7 cuz i hate the Jets.

 

[LeafShark]

Jet bombs black knight, but is unable to return to base safely due to an onslaught of lightning. Sums it up quite nicely.

 

[FlyersFanSinceBirth]

If it's a Knight fighting Starscream, I'm in.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

I just hate Canada.

You make a good point but Jets have the most American players of the teams left, they are America's team.

 

[Morbo]

"hockey match"

lol

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

I just hate Canada.

You sound like a charming, rational fellah!

 

[dukeofjive]

This one is a tough call for me, im loving the jets awesome year and playoffs, but im a huge subban fan. Go Hockey

 

[LeafGrief]

I'm cheering for the Turtles, myself.

 

[jetsforever]

I'm torn... I'm a Jets fan but I want to see a sabre-toothed tiger be killed by a golden knight

 

[DannyGallivan]

You make a good point but Jets have the most American players of the teams left, they are America's team.

Best forward is Canadian: Scheifelle
Best defenseman is Canadian: Morrissey
Best Goaltender wishes he was a Canadian: Hellebucyk

They are legitimately Canada's team.

 

[bdub24]

That opener is just ... well..yikes.
Renaissance fair meets Vegas off strip dinner theater meets travelling carny act.

 

[Lilou]

I want subban to win a cup.
