Was a real, bloody rat thrown on the ice after the Panthers Game 3 win?
Briefly

During Game 3 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final, Florida Panthers fans showcased their disdain for Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid by throwing a ketchup-adorned plastic rat onto the ice. This bizarre act stemmed from McDavid's well-documented fear of ketchup, humorously highlighted in a previous Heinz promotional post. The incident added an unusual twist to the traditional post-win celebration, bringing some comedic relief amidst the high-pressure atmosphere of the finals, particularly showcasing the intense rivalry and fan engagement present in the sport.
One plastic rat that hit the ice in the defensive zone nearest the Edmonton skidded across the ice, leaving a bright red trail describing its route.
See, it's become well known that the Oilers captain doesn't like ketchup. OK, that's wallowing in understatement.
