Like many a local celebrity before him, Adrian Peterson was given the honor kicking off the Minnesota Wild game last night with their traditional chant of "Let's Play Hockey." That didn't work out so well.

Seriously, the guy was given exactly three words to say and somehow he still managed to flub his line. Don't they have cue cards in Minnesota?

Afterward, he was blindfolded at center ice and one lucky fan got to throw a puck at him.
