Ah look, a child predator... fan
SpecialAgentCharlesCarmichael
Totes gonna get free tickets and some signed shit for that adorableness.
Southbird85
Things could be worse: You could be a Leafs fan.
DefenderOfDog
Is that why they are called predators?
iamkarlpilkington
Why is this kid encouraging predators? :/
mikematty
This is really cute but, Go Pens!
aessae
Fuck the pens.
Yeld69
Wouldn't have the same effect if the kid was ugly or even mediocre looking. I am SO hoping my own kid wins the genetic lottery like this...

The bow is just darling.

Fuck the Preds!!!!
datspookyghost
They may have lost the Stanley Cup, but they won this lil'uns heart.
NapoleonDynOmite
As a Penguins fan I'll take winning the Stanley cup thanks
UltraXar
One of the worst names for a team, ever.
Burritoheart
Vegas Golden Knights are the new holder of that title.
wonder89
With the obscene, loudspeaker led chants, I wouldn't bring my daughter to a Predator game.
poogie67
who's cutting onions around here?
imdealinglawaroundhere
Something about the word "Preds" just doesn't sit well.

Fuck the Preds. Worst fans in hockey.
Dangerdan00
Sigh take your upvote. She deserves the love she will get from the players. God I hate when division Rivals have cute fans.
CptCameltoe
You mean parents that tell the kids what to do get clicks and views?
Dangerdan00
Welcome to New age Hustle, and what does it hurt.
TeraDactyl
You're a bigger person than I. Got no joy out of this. Nashville can eat a dickburger.

Umm.... I don't watch hockey. I was very confused and a bit concerned.
PianoMan2112
I was rooting for them simply because they were the 2nd wild card pick - statistically, they shouldn't have even made it past the 1st round.

Terrible Reffing, the league needs to step up
iamthisguy247
I don't think there was a terrible series long issue. But they fucked up in that final game.
ButterNubbs
Idk, blow call in the first game very well lost the preds that game, different series all around if they win game 1
iamthisguy247
But it wasn't a blown call. It's a tough rule (and arguably excessive to call it so tight)but it was the rule and so they called it properly
ButterNubbs
I'd say calling a goal off on an offsides challenge with such little evidence is a blown call
iamthisguy247
Well it may have been easier to say inconclusive evidence, so the call on the ice stands (goal). I'd hope to call it back they were certain.
thelastcoolbrandon
That was a quick whistle
lysani
Whistle was blown because they lost sight of the puck. Plus, the goal would have been reversed due to goaltender interference anyways.
TheyHaveaCaveTroll
Please... that was such an awful whistle. And goalie interference? Where?! They completely botched that one my friend. (Wild fan btw)
lysani
https://youtu.be/tg9rx-47K-0?t=189 Forsberg skates in towards Murray to hook his skate on the pad and pull Murray out of the crease.
TheyHaveaCaveTroll
That would never get called. And if so then the winning goal by Pittsburgh should be called off as well
buddthechud
How was it a bad whistle. It may have been bad positioning but the whistle was blown when they lost sight. I don't get it.
TheyHaveaCaveTroll
Cause the goalie never had control of the puck. By your logic..ref gets turned around. he should blow the whistle. Incorrect interpretation
doctorhat
Is Crosby fight-on-sight for Subban next year? Would seem like Sid's got one on deck.
Phoeniix25
Sure but the terrible refs weren't one sided for any team or series. If Nashville wouldn't have went 0-4 on pp the last game it's a nonissue
noneedcaptain
NSH wouldn't have needed those make up calls (which is also terrible reffing imo) if the reffing were more consistent and less bad.
kmikl
The refs tended to blow calls often enough that they might as well not have been there.
kmikl
I'm talking overall after about 2nd round.
TheyHaveaCaveTroll
I kinda hate the argument that the whistle doesn't matter cause they got make-up calls. Clearly it did because PP's don't always = a goal
WallpaperProblems
The Refs were overall terrible
Burritoheart
every team had at least one instance where the refs fucked them. the refs were so inconsistent and arbitary these playoffs
bananastandcheddah
For some reason the NHL and NBA refs were equally as bad this year
Phoeniix25
Right that was my point, made it even for everyone.
ButterNubbs
Just happens that two huge goals for the preds didn't count, refs suck. But it's more noticeable when it costs you the game
Phoeniix25
No I noticed fine my team lost before the finals. I hope something can be changed that doesn't slow down the game because Ipad reviews suck
bananastandcheddah
Exactly, they had 3 bad calls that benefited the preds after that insane early whistle
Midgarmerc
That girl probably doesnt have a concept of team fandom beyond "daddy and mommy like this one"
ThePresidentOfStrayaOFFICIAL
"Just repeat after me sweetie... Daddy can go viral with this shit."
knittaplz
But in the same vein, her positive and encouraging attitude is a reflection of her parents. Pretty awesome if you ask me!
YoudSwearImAVirgin
I'm 28 and don't understand team fandom either. My dad likes the Detroit Lions, so I like the Detroit Lions.
Burritoheart
It's fun. It makes watching the game more fun when you are invested in the teams.
Midgarmerc
It's usually boiled down to tribal mentalities. Not a lot of people like teams for their real stats or players just hometown fandom
Borkaborka
In the full video she rattles of a couple players name. Who cares if she grows up and supports a different team, this is her team for now.
iamthisguy247
Well every sports fan starts somewhere. I'd say 75% of the time it comes from parents, 25% they got excited by a player/season.
Midgarmerc
Oh I know I'm just saying calling kids this young fans doesnt really mean anything in my opinion
WallpaperProblems
Well I am fucked up cause I am a Sens Fan cause they are Romans, the Packers cause they won in 08 and the Tigers I don't remember.
iamthisguy247
Well the Packers at least would fit my concept (got excited by a good season).
WallpaperProblems
My folks are easier, anything Boston.
ButterNubbs
Go Tigers
Wetspaghetti69420
grew up in Buffalo NY, huge hockey town adore the sport, there is a closeness with fans and the team unlike other any other sport.
januskincaid
I... am I the only one that thinks the Nashville Predators should probably not be getting messages from little kids? Just sayin...
TehOuchies
Thats exactly where my mind went, especially with the thumbnail of "Hi Preds"...
lucasthePlumbusMaker
Yea...saying that she cant wait till next year...gets kinda weirder..just sayin..

As a brit who doesn't really follow sports, I honestly thought at first that the "Nashville Predators" were a gang of convicted paedophiles
mumumumumysharona
blainethepaintrain
As a Tennesseean I hate this.
Burghguy
More like Nashville Sexual Predators, amirite??
brewtopia
Bill Cosby and Jerry Sandusky's favorite hockey team.

This should be top comment of the day.
imdealinglawaroundhere
Right? I know nothing about hockey and I'm not even going to ask what their mascot is.
sandwhich69
ITS CHRIS HANSEN!!! Yesssss!

I only have one thing to say to a Predators fan that is that adorable... THE PENS WON!! BACK TO BACK BABY! SUCK IT NASHVILLE!
eromitlab
oh hush
DanceComander
Why is every Pittsburgh fan I see online such a sore winner? Ugh.
Burghguy
We're from Pittsburgh, what else do we have going for us?
PrussianFox
Hi, I support the Pens. There are thousands of fans who aren't idiots like the guy above.
Burghguy
I was making a joke, but thanks.
DanceComander
You and those guys need to post more then cuz I swear on here and reddit most of the Pens fans I interact with are just terrible :(
PrussianFox
The secret is; I'm a Scottish Pens fan, so our way of celebrating isn't to rub it in everyone's face.
DanceComander
Well then we need more Scottish Pens fans!
