The Nashville Predators are back in the Stanley Cup Playoffs after missing out last year and will be taking on the Vancouver Canucks in the post-season for the first time since 2011.

However, for Game 3 and 4 of the series at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on April 26 and 28th, the Predators have reportedly put measures in place that will not allow Canucks fans to attend.

When fans go on to Ticketmaster to purchase tickets for games in Nashville during the playoffs, the following notice pops up:

"To better serve Nashville Predators fans, a restricted sales area has been
implemented for this Nashville Predator game at the Bridgestone Arena. Sales
will be restricted to residents of the Nashville Predators television viewing area � Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia.

Residency will be based on credit card billing address. Orders by residents outside the viewing area will be canceled without notice and refunds given."

From the standpoint of Vancouver Canucks fans, it's frustrating because they would like to travel and support the team on the road in Nashville, but for the Predators, they want to ensure they have their barn full of their fans cheering them on and giving themselves the home-ice advantage for those two games.

It'll be interesting to see if any Canucks fans will figure out a loophole in the rules and find their way into Bridgestone Arena on April 26th and April 28th.

Game 1 between the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators from Rogers Arena is set for 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET on Sunday on Sportsnet and CBC as John Shorthouse and David Tomlinson will have the call all series long.
