    Mascots have synchronized Tebowing, Chuck-a-Puck fail at AHL All-Star Game

    The American Hockey League All-Star Game was played in Atlantic City on Monday night, and it was pretty fun. Save for the fact that Ben Bishop of the Peoria Rivermen decided to get all Tim Thomas and take the game seriously, stopping 10 of 11 shots and four more in the shootout to win MVP. (The Mayor of Peoria will be pleased.)

    You know what makes for a great All-Star Weekend? Mascot penalty shots. You know what makes for a great Mascot penalty shot? Synchronized Plushie Tebowing.

    Christians Against NIKE will not be pleased ...

    As is minor league hockey tradition, there was a "Chuck-a-Puck" for charity between periods. One problem: Fans just started hurling them before being prompted to do so. Many mascots were beaned in the ensuing carnage.

    Check out the Phantoms mascot getting hit with multiple pucks and the CT Whale mascot getting blindsided by a Penguin:

      This has given me the answer to how to fix the NHL all star game. Have all the participants wear mascot costumes in the game. Players could wear their own team's mascot costume or pick their own. Chara could wear his pink bunny suit (you know he's dying to wear it again). Thomas could go as the holier than thou Sam the Eagle from the Muppets. I would watch that.

      Did I spot Kyle Wellwood on the ice?

      I can't be the only guy who was waiting for the Penguin to take a dive while fighting the Whale, was I?

      Oh, the carnage.

      I couldn't tell from the video, but based on the mascot's response, I am guessing Norfolk Admiral mascot HatTrick didn't make the save?

        beats sitting in front of a computer or worse yet a tv all day, but not as fun as playing the game

      What do you think aliens in outer space were thinking when they saw this?

      Why is everyone using the word "fail" when something doesn't work out. When did this start? It doesn't make grammatical sense. It's just like the term "bust it." That doesn't make sense either. Instead of fail, people should say "unsuccessful attempt" and instead of "bust it," people should say "work hard." It's a big pet peeve of mine. Just like people who get other people to say hi for them.

        Apparently they used to use real pucks, but I guess after a few people getting nailed in the head they use soft foam pucks now.

      Tebowing? #$%$ I'm pretty sure it's called genuflecting.
