Craigslist ad offers $75 for ‘catfish thrower’ at Predators-Ducks game

Ryan Ellis tied the game between the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators in the second period, sparking a jubilation so wild, that a catfish was thrown onto the ice. Yes, a catfish.

If a catfish finds its way onto the ice at Bridgestone Arena during Game 3 or Game 4 of the Western Conference Final, anyone wanting to solve who did it might want to start with Craigslist for clues.

A person in the Nashville area posted a “Wanted: Catfish Thrower for 5/16 or 5/18 Preds Home Game” ad on Craigslist this past Friday.

The person explains in the ad that they bet against the Predators advancing to the third round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. As punishment for losing the bet, this person agreed to smuggle a catfish into Bridgestone Arena and throw it onto the ice. However, there was just one problem – it turns out this person is “deathly allergic to catfish.”

So instead of doing it themselves they turned to Craigslist.

If you are in the Nashville area and have tickets to Game 3 (Tuesday) or Game 4 (Thursday) you have the opportunity to earn a cool $75—just as long as you’re willing to have a catfish saran-wrapped to your body, are strong enough to “to chuck a 2lb catfish over the glass” and have the “stones large enough to stand there and fire up the crowd after the guts have splattered over the ice.”

Catfish and saran wrap will be provided. How generous.

Tuesday’s game can be seen on Sportsnet with coverage beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET.
