I never request songs but this one makes too much sense to pass up. The Florida Panthers have a famous story of one of their players hitting a rat in the locker room and smacking it against the wall. He went on to score two goals that night with the same stick and the Rat Trick was born. The tradition of throwing plastic rats onto the ice after every goal was born.

So this one kind of makes sense to do....

    Im a season ticket holder at the Panthers. The rats thing is very cool and has gotten some national attention over the last week because the management decided to hand out 10k rats before a game to recognize the 20th anniversary of the team that went to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996. Only problem was fans threw the rats onto the ice after every Panthers goal, causing delay of game penalties on the home team! It was pretty funny. Rats would be a perfect song to play and would be cool if Eddie mentioned the Panthers, who are in first place!
    Anyway, looking forward to the show on Friday. Taking my 8yo to his first show and then I'm going to the other 3 in Florida with friends. Anyone who is from out of town and needs advice let me know...
    I also have an extra reserved seat to Tampa if anyone is interested.
