The Nashville Predators defeated the Chicago Blackhawks by the score of 4-1 in Game 4 of their Western Conference quarterfinals showdown on Thursday night, securing a 4-0 series sweep.
Naturally, everyone in ‘Music City, U.S.A.‘ lost their mind.

Sadly, things escalated quickly, and something that started as a fun and creative way to raise money for charity turned into chaos outside Bridgestone Arena.
From The Tennessean:
Before every home playoff game, the Predators organization allows fans, for a donation, to swing a sledgehammer at a car spray painted in the opposing team’s colors. Proceeds go to the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund.
Unfortunately, a gaggle of crazed fans decided smashing the car wasn’t enough, and idiotically flipped it over.
