Predators fans aren't messing around.

During Game 3 of the Western Conference final, someone inside Bridgestone Arena tossed a skinned duck onto the ice to show the Anaheim Ducks exactly how welcome they are in Nashville.

Sport Net had a video clip, which was originally posted in this article, but it has since been taken down.

Catfish have long been a tradition inside the arena at 501 Broadway, but this might be the first time an intimidating embodiment of the other team has made it to the ice.

Let's hope this doesn't escalate if the Predators and Penguins end up meeting in the Stanley Cup Final.
