Adrian Peterson tries his hand at “Let’s Play Hockey,” and should probably stick to football

You have to love Adrian Peterson’s willingness to head into foreign territory — Xcel Energy Center for last night’s Wild game — to perform the pregame Let’s Play Hockey ritual. But as our own Michael Russo wrote, well:

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson did the traditional “Let’s Play Hockey.” After practicing it a number of times in the press box, he fouled up the verbiage dramatically.

After searching for video evidence this morning, the Wild has come through and put it on its web site. Classic. That’s all we can say. Keep in mind that all one has to say is “Let’s Play Hockey.”

Would that be equivalent to starting the Indy 500 with: “Guy’s, Turn on Your cars!”?

This reminds me of when Jeff Gordon sang “Take Me Out To the Ballgame” to the crowd at Wrigley Stadium [sic].

I think Paula Abdul would like this because he really made it his own.

Peterson runs into the end zone for a six pointer.
