I hated the rats. An octopus or two in Detroit is one thing, but the Johnny-come- lately South Florida fans, not truly understanding the tradition, just thought it was funny to throw a bunch of shit on the ice and cause a ten minute delay. Kudos to the NHL for banning the practice while still turning a blind eye to Detroit (and I'm by no means a Wings fan.) What the team accomplished was impressive, but the plastic rat thing had to go.
