The problem with the rats was that people would go to the dollar store and by 10 of them and the number on the ice was in the high hundreds, if not well over a 1,000 causing massive delays. If Detroit fans threw 500 Octupi on the ice, I would have a problem with that and it would be appropriate for the league to take action.

Maybe the panthers should have instituted a "Rat Cannon" or something that shot a large rat on the ice after a goal and not allow fans to throw any on the ice. And call a delay of game if they do.

All things can be worked out to make almost everyone happy. I liked the throwing of the rat, thought it was great. But it did get out of control.
