Once again, Smashville strikes the nation with it’s packed streets, full bars, and loud, loud Predators fans.
And we mean LOUD.
While Saturday was a feat in itself, with over 50,000 people visiting downtown Nashville for Game Three, Monday did not disappoint. The Nashville Predators came out on the other side victorious once again, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 in stellar fashion… turning Nashville upside down on the first workday of the week. Below, we have attached what would be some of our favorite moments from Game Four… and there are some great ones.
The infamous SMASH CAR takes even more of a beating mid-Monday before Game Four.
Getting closer to game time and we have a feeling this car won't make it much longer… SMASHING IT UP here on the plaza!! #Smashville 💥 pic.twitter.com/BTma4q4lHV

The crow outside of Bridgestone Arena was WILD, and country superstar Dierks Bentley decided to have some conversation with NBC beside our tents.

And, let’s be honest: a Dierks anthem while wearing a Fiala jersey… is EVERYTHING.
Always heavy on the star power in Nashville ⭐⭐⭐

And when the Predators sealed the deal to tie the series, as Pete Weber would say: Smashville went APE.

Let’s be honest, if YOU were a goal-tender for the opposing team, you are NOT a fan of this fan base.
"MURRAY… MURRAY…"
On the plaza. #Smashville has flipped upside down. #Preds #PITvsNSH #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/tPH4AlOIIW

One thing we know for certain: There WILL be a Game Six right here in Smashville.
On a Sunday. During CMA Fest.
Nashville, we’re ready for you this weekend. Let’s make history.
