Tickets for the Predators first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs go on sale this Saturday at 10 a.m. and to celebrate the occasion, the Preds are calling on all residents of Smashville to show their support this Friday for Preds Pride Day! Don your favorite Preds gear. Decorate your office. Pred your ride. Paint your face. Show off that pre-playoff beard. Nothing is off limits in Smashville!

Also, make sure to keep an eye out around town on Friday for (somehow) larger-than-life cut outs of everyone’s favorite Finn – goaltender Pekka Rinne. By now, you’ve all heard of Tebowing, but we’d like to introduce the new movement poised to the sweep the nation: Pekka-ing. At this point, you are surely familiar with the 6’5’’ Finn’s sprawling moves, and we want to see if you can compare. Find one of these cut outs on Friday and take your best shot at Pekka-ing. Make sure to send your photo in to the Nashville Predators social media sites (Facebook and Twitter) to join in on the fun. Can’t find Pekka? That’s OK. Take your Pekka-ing photo anywhere.

Let’s take the Seventh Man out of Bridgestone Arena and set him free in the office, at school and all across Middle Tennessee! Be sure to spread the word with your contacts through social media, telephone or e-mail.
