Preds fan ships dead catfish to NHL office in protest of blown call

If you didn't get the message last year during the team's playoff run, Nashville Predators fans are one passionate bunch.

So much so that after Filip Forsberg had a goal taken away on a controversial goaltender interference call Tuesday night against the Florida Panthers, one fan - by the name of Briley Meeks - decided to ship a dead catfish to the NHL office in Toronto.

"I was like, 'OK, I will,'" Meeks said, according to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski. "One minute I was sitting on my couch, the next minute I was going to buy fish and shipping it to Canada. It wasn't the refs in the game that made the call. It was Toronto. So they deserve the dead catfish."

Meeks made sure to check with UPS, which then confirmed with Canadian Customs that she was allowed to proceed with sending the fish across the border. The total cost to ship the fish in the container came to roughly $150, and to top it all off, Meeks included a message on the inside of the container that simply read: "YOU SUCK."

"I hope they're not mad about it. It's just a prank," Meeks said. "But we got robbed. The players were stunned. Even the Panthers players and fans knew it was a bad call too.

"I do want to clarify that there was no ice in the cooler. I wanted it to be disgusting."

Luckily, the Predators sit comfortably in a playoff spot and even have a chance to clinch the Presidents' Trophy on Thursday, so the missed call should be water under the bridge soon enough.
