The Los Angeles Kings had been struggling offensively entering their game against the Washington Capitals on Monday night. But when defenseman Jack Johnson scored in the second period, it was the third tally for the goal-starved team in the game.
Why, it's almost like a higher power was watching over the Kings' offense … so, naturally, Johnson decided to celebrate his goal by Tebowing.
Yes, it's the latest collision between hockey and the pose popularized by the Denver Broncos' Messianic quarterback Tim Tebow. Colton Orr of the Toronto Maple Leafs performed one during Leafs Nation Fan Night in Dec. 2011. Rocco Grimaldi of North Dakota Tebow'd after scoring his first NCAA goal.
Of particular interest here: Jack Johnson attended Michigan. So did this guy named Tom Brady, who was a bit of a quarterbacking legend there. You may have heard of his NFL team, the New England Patriots; they face Tebow and the Broncos next weekend in the AFC playoffs.
Say, what happened to being a Michigan man and proud of it?!
