Rats! New Jersey Devils Chewed Up by Florida Panthers Like Rats in Defeat

Rats. The story of tonight's game will be about rats. It was Rat Night at the BB&T Center. Someone at the Florida Panthers marketing department thought it would be a good idea to give fans a plastic rat. That's a good idea. With Scott Mellanby's rat trick still cherished by the fans, it's a good giveaway. Someone in the same department thought it would be a good idea to give fans the rats before the hockey game. That was a bad idea. Rats rained down onto the ice after every Florida goal - and after the game.
