#ThrowbackThursday: Fight Night in Smashville

If you ask Predators fans for their favorite game in team history, you can expect a wide range of answers. There’s Mike Fisher’s triple-overtime winner in 2016, the Preds’ win over Anaheim that put them into the Stanley Cup Final, or maybe something sentimental like Wayne Gretzky’s only trip to Nashville back in 1999.

A lot of fans will also bring up the night of October 30, 2003.

Or as some fans call it... “Fight Night in Smashville.”

This matchup between the Predators and Red Wings had a lot going on: nine fights, over 200 penalty minutes, and the sight of one of the most iconic players in NHL history getting thrown out of the game after losing his ever-loving mind.
