Vancouver Canucks fans are going to find out why Nashville is nicknamed “Smashville” over the coming days.
The Nashville Predators have a special tradition when teams come to visit in the playoffs. A car painted in Canucks colours has been set up outside the rink and Predators fans will get to demolish it.
The car has already been set up outside Bridgestone Arena in preparation for Game 3 on Friday.

Canucks fans had lots of self-deprecating jokes upon seeing the car posted on social media, mostly about some unsavoury moments in the city’s history, which included the destruction (and flipping) of cars.
you cant scare canucks fans off by destroying a car we started that https://t.co/HKhBRnrNdw

Preds fanbase is so full of casuals that they need practice rioting. https://t.co/LF6yCAxtpB

Have you seen what Canucks fans did to their own city? You can’t hurt them this way

Some other Canucks fans had plenty of jokes saying the Predators picked the wrong car to represent the city.
Brooooo we only drive Tesla’s

More accurately it should be a Tesla.

It’s not Canucks clear unless it’s a AMG G wagon , Lamborghini, McLaren with N sticker
— Surrey canucks (@GSurreycanucks) April 24, 2024
Totally not a Vancouver car. Buck up and put a G Wagon out there. Nashville: poverty franchise https://t.co/jVJV0yDL24

Should’ve made it a Tesla https://t.co/Fl6ZUFwBzI

The Canucks take on the Predators in Game 3 on Friday night. The puck drops at 4:30 pm PT, and Predators fans will definitely be loud after spending the day destroying the car to get hyped up.
