Young Predators Fan Rubs Belly Behind Penalty Box, Inspires a Nation

The Nashville Predators beat the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night. Early in the 2nd period, Nashville’s Roman Josi took a penalty for holding. As he sat down in the penalty box and looked up at the jumbotron to see what had happened, a young Predators fan lifted his shirt and started rubbing his belly. I like to think Josi looked up and with a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some Plexiglass barrier at all of his favorite hockey rinks, boys in yellow t-shirts are getting incredible kicks from belly rubs he’ll never know.
