Even after Predators head coach Peter Laviolette asked fans to stop throwing catfish on the ice during games, a catfish was still thrown on the ice in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Pittsburgh.

It’s a Predators tradition. Five catfish were thrown on the ice during Game 3.

The fans watching the game from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville loved it.

They’re also throwing their own catfish.

It’s pretty crazy fans are willing to be ejected in Pittsburgh for catfish, especially considering a fan was even arrested for throwing one, but they continue to do so and will probably never stop.
