The fact anyone is legitimately wondering if the Canucks trolled the Predators by playing U2 is so baffling to me and really shows peoples ignorance.
You wouldn't believe this @JeffMarek and @FriedgeHNIC, but it appears the @canucks have been 'trolling' the Nashville Predators for over 20 years by skating out to U2's Where The Streets Have No Name.

It can be both
Wait why would this be trolling
Idgi. Why would playing U2 be a troll towards Nashville?
For those that aren’t in the know. Right before the Preds went on their 18 game point streak they were supposed to go see U2 at the sphere in Vegas. Trotz took that away from them because they were playing like shit. Younger fans think playing U2 is trolling them.
It’s nostalgic for us. Not a troll against them. I was listening to the ice cap in Sirius after the game and was yelling at the radio. Dumb phucks
2011 what??
I think it also speaks to how long this team has been without playoff hockey that a song once synonomous with playoff home games here has been forgotten and people can honestly believe its WWE style trolling.
Which I would be down for. Gimme the double on this.
Don’t overthink the confusion. It’s both a throwback tradition but also a nice little dig at the Preds storyline. Everyone wins.
Except Nashville, who lost.
To be fair, not everyone is a Canucks’ fan or has watched them play in the playoffs before, so they likely don’t even know about the team’s use of the song.
I feel this is copy pasta
People seem to be forgetting that the song was announced before we even knew we were playing Nashville
How does one troll Nashville song? This is as close as I can get https://youtu.be/MpBUUzxVCJ0?feature=shared
All im saying is 2 birds 1 stone
Are we just purposely ignoring the fact a Sportsnet 650 host a couple weeks before they even knew who they were playing said they were testing the streets have no name on the p.a in the building? Cause I feel like we are conveniently ignoring that now
Nah bro. They just heard some of the fans.

But for real the place was so loud last night I could barely hear any of it. Just the screams and cheers of everyone around me.
Streets Have No Name has been part of Canucks lore for like 20 years.
People barely heard of this U2 story from Nashville
