The Nashville Predators have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs after losing to Carolina Hurricanes in 6 games

Chanting like dumbshits when you are losing is dumb.

Believe it or not, people leaving games early often shows awareness of their clubs abilities. If you know your team, you know. And then there are additional questions like how many games you've been to. Seen it all before? Factors such as where you live, eg. weather, parking, all sorts of shit. For example, in Northern Canada if your team is down by 3 with 5 minutes left you will see people leave. Like... do you know how long it takes to warm your car up in -30 weather? What it's like to drive in snow? And you know you're gonna lose anyways so why put yourself through the tailgate rush to get out of the arena. It's common. And yes. I would rather see people leave early for whatever reason than to hear ill-timed idiotic chants from people that don't really know the sport or the culture therein. That's all that is.
