New York Rangers<\/a> player followed up. <\/p>\n\u201cAnd I\u2019m a Predator in my community,\u201d Teller said. \u201cAnd you see this face, just no predators in the community. Wait, wait, wait, wait, can we cut?\u201d<\/p>\n
The director in the scene questioned Teller\u2019s problem with the line, even though it was clear that Teller\u2019s character had a problem with the wording.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the issue, man?\u201d The director questioned.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I have to say that I\u2019m a predator in my community?\u201d Teller responded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not? You play for the Nashville Predators.\u201d <\/p>\n
Yeah, but, I mean, you hear how it sounds, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, so it\u2019s gonna be one of those shoots. Diva alert!\u201d<\/p>\n
The segment carried on as the liners became more and more disastrous, using a play on a different definition of predator, obviously not the intended purpose of the Predator nickname the franchise has used since its inception in 1998.<\/p>\n
The Predators\u2019 social media profile made a response, realizing that the skit was using the team as a punching bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, is this f\u2014 play about us?\u201d the team posted on X in response.<\/p>\n
The segment aired not long after Predators beat the Calgary Flames<\/a>, 4-2, at Bridgestone Arena. Not exactly a welcoming experience for the visitors in the Music City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the NHL\u2019s struggling teams has received a jab from one of television\u2019s most popular comedy shows.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267434,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-267433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267433"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267433\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
