Here’s a link to the full photo on imgur.

The Nashville Predators are in the Stanley Cup Final and the whole damn state has gone mad with hockey fever. You’ve even got the damned old timey folks out at the Tennessee Renaissance Festival jousting with blue and yellow hockey sticks.

Honestly, it’s probably a lot safer for the fans than swords or large chisels or whatever they actually joust with. One of those things goes flying astray and you’ve got a real situation on your hands. Nobody wants to be digging a pointy jousting stick out of Grandpappy’s back.

For the combatants, though, I assume it’s a lot more painful and brutal of a death. At least with something puncturing your heart, yeah sure it sucks, but you die pretty instantly. Plus, you keep your face intact, which is really great for handsome people like myself. Definitely don’t want to be beaten to death with a hockey stick.

That’s what’s happening here, right? It’s been a minute since I’ve been out to the Renfest, but they actually kill each other in the jousts if I’m not mistaken.

Anyway, the point is that’s how far the Preds reach now – not just across the nation or across the world, but back in time itself. Crazy. Do you think they even knew what hockey was back then? Now they do thanks to this historic run by the Nashville Predators. It’s weird how right they were when all the pundits said the Preds were “making history.” They meant it literally. The Preds are so incredible that word of their quest has traveled back through the anals of history to reach people like Merlin, King Arthur, and William Shakespeare himself. Hot damn.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering, you missed your window to get out to Renfest. Runs through Memorial Day only, so if you snooze, you lose. But, if you look closely at this picture, you can see Rooster stumbling around drunk in the distance somewhere.
