The Nashville Predators might not have Justin Bieber on their side, but they have a ton of celebrities that have been cheering them on throughout the playoffs.

Carrie Underwood, Marcus Mariota and his Titans teammates, the Ryan brothers, and Keith Urban are just a some of the big names that have gone to a Predators game to support the team during their run to the Stanley Cup final.

Another professional athlete that loves the Predators and has been cheering them on is Ryan Ellis.

No, we're not talking about Nashville's defenceman.  We're talking about NASCAR's Ryan Ellis who has the same name as the Preds d-man and just so happens to love the team, too.

The two not only have the same first and last names, but apparently they also have the same middle names and their dads have the same name, too.

At this point, race car driver Ellis has just accepted the fact that Ryan the hockey player is the real Ryan Ellis.

That realization is supported by the fact that fans have tweeted at race car Ryan thinking he's hockey player Ryan Ellis.

In fact, Ellis had to make a chance to his Twitter bio to make it clear to fans he's not the hockey player.

He's also made it clear he's a big fan of Ryan the hockey player and he'll be supporting him and the Predators as they try and even the series and force a Game 7 with a win Sunday night.
