Brian O'Neill: Catfish on ice! Can you hum a few bars?

The only thing that’s dead solid certain about these Stanley Cup finals is that a great country song will come out of them.

There’s no other foreseeable outcome for the exploits of Jake Waddell, self-described “dumb redneck with a bad idea,” who shoved a frozen catfish down his britches so he could smuggle it into PPG Paints Arena and toss it on the ice on Memorial Day.

That he ran it over with his truck a couple of times beforehand to flatten it, and doused it with Old Spice to sweeten it, only shows ol’ Jake knew how to fill out a second verse.
