  1. I will never not laugh when Roy gets hit in the mask by a rat lol

  2. I like this tradition and the folklore behind it. That's why hockey is great.

  3. We throw the rats at the end of every game we win. That’s the tradition now. The NHL only banned the rats after ever goal, but we have never stopped throwing them in 27 years.

  4. I need this in the Finals. But like….200% more rats. What a hilarious tradition. Never fails to make me laugh.

  5. My dad (from Chicago, living in Fort Lauderdale at the time) saw the Avs lift the cup after game 4. Imagine bringing thousands of rats to the finals game and you get shut out and lose in triple ot to lose the series 😭

  6. I've always hated this tradition because it's definitely triggering for anyone with a fear of rodents.

  7. love the panthers always hated the rat throwing at least throw real dead rats not rubber ones. be like Detroit
