MINNESOTA GOVERNOR: TIME TO DROP THE FUCK?

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty shocked fans at the Wild season opener Wednesday night when he announced that it was "time to drop the fuck."

Pawlenty, the night's special guest announcer, was supposed to say "It's time to drop the puck. So everybody say it with me - Let's play hockey!" Unfortunately, he ended up saying a slightly different word instead of puck.

The NHL said that any future appearances by Pawlenty will now be on a three-second tape delay.
