The Nashville Predators were on the ropes in the Stanley Cup Finals entering Saturday’s Game 3 in Nashville.
The Preds trailed the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-0 and needed a home victory to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole.
Things were looking dire, but then Alabama coach Nick Saban showed up to the game in a Predators jersey:

The rest, as they say, is history, as Nashville rolled to an easy 5-1 victory to cut the Penguins’ series lead to 2-1, with many fans crediting Saban and his championship pedigree for helping the Preds out.
Naturally, fans on Twitter couldn’t wait to have some fun with the coach’s wardrobe choice. There were those who were happy Saban decided to support the Predators and those who were simply amused by the fact that a team from Tennessee only won when a rival coach donned its jersey:
Nick Saban must have missed out on a recruit from Pittsburgh…..that or he is all in on being @SEC. pic.twitter.com/45WDf53cRP

Butch Jones cheers on the Preds, we lose by 4.
Nick Saban cheers on the Preds, we win by 4.
This is painfully predictable.— Ben McGreevy (@McGreevyBen) June 4, 2017
Nick Saban puts on a Preds jersey and they dominate. We all know it's not a coincidence. #Predators pic.twitter.com/Gm16G4Im5u

The "sweater" is bandwagon but even worse Nick Saban apparently is blind folded when picking out what shoes to wear.. pic.twitter.com/kCSPQaz56c

Game 4 of the series will take place on Monday night in Nashville. No word yet on whether Saban will be in attendance again.
