‘Of Course’ Adrian Peterson Wants To Remain With Vikings by Adam Carlson

Saturday night Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon picked up the mic at Xcel Energy Center and kicked off the Minnesota Wild game with a spirited “Let’s Play Hockey.”

It can’t be a coincidence that the Wild followed that up by taking a quick 1-0 lead over the Colorado Avalanche. McKinnon got the team and everybody else all fired up.

Of course McKinnon isn’t the first Vikings player to perform the traditional “Let’s Play Hockey” call. Adrian Peterson, Christian Ponder and Cordarrelle Patterson have all taken their turns.

And so did former Vikings mascot Mub Meeds.

In the future if somebody asks you “What do Jerick McKinnon and Hub Meeds have in common,” you’ll know the answer.

Here’s hoping we get to see more of McKinnon on the field next year. It was fun watching him in his rookie season until injury knocked him out.
