Giving away over 10,000 toy rats to fans was supposed to be a promotion for the Florida Panthers on Thursday night. However, it turned out to be a big problem. The Panthers were penalized twice in the third period during their 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils because fans kept throwing the rats on to the ice despite warnings not to do so. The Panthers’ rat tradition is a nod to the 1995-96 season when Scott Mellanby killed a live one with his stick in the locker room in the team’s former arena before going out and scoring two goals.
