Nashville's Smashville nickname predates one of its most famous traditions: fans throwing catfish onto the ice during playoff runs, a superstition born in 2003 that echoes Detroit's octopus toss. The Predators' defense-first identity took shape under longtime captain Shea Weber and goaltender Pekka Rinne, who anchored a run to the 2017 Stanley Cup Final. Broadway's honky-tonk energy now doubles as game-day tradition at Bridgestone Arena.
