Good morning Chicago Blackhawks fans! The Nashville Predators are 2 wins away from the Stanley Cup Final after winning Game #3 2-1 and coming back from a 1-0 hole in the contest. 

The one thing that has been said about the Chicago Blackhawks fanbase for years now is that it is full of bandwagon fans since they went from worst to first in 2010.

Well, after playing for the worst possible softball team ever we went to a sports bar to watch the Nashville game and it was packed full of Predators fans.

You have to remember this is in Knoxville 200 miles away from Smashvilel, but it was pretty cool seeing this many Yellow shirts watching a hockey game in the middle of east Tennessee in the middle of May.
