There’s only one thing better than bringing the Stanley Cup to Smashville, and that’s bringing the PUP to Smashville! During the 2018-19 hockey season, Kristen Finch, a member of the Nashville Predators’ communications department, adopted Lord Banner of Smashville, also known as Smash. The black-and-white pooch with one floppy ear was just a few months old when he became the official dog of the Nashville Predators, and now he spends his days rough-housing with Roman Josi, chomping on rival mascots and posing for pics with fans at Preds events. 14/10, would raise a banner for Smash.
