NHL player shoots, he scores, he Tebows

Around these parts, games played on ice recall Lambeau Field, not Madison Square Garden, but the NFL-NHL bridge was gapped Tuesday thanks to -- you guessed it -- Tim Tebow.

When Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Colton Orr scored a shootout goal during a team scrimmage on Leafs Nation Fan Night at Air Canada Centre, he played to a packed house by skating to a stop and Tebowing -- the act of taking a silent knee in prayer, as the Broncos quarterback is known to do.

According to center Tyler Bozak, Orr wasn't the only Maple Leaf planning to strike a pose.

"I'm a Tebow fan, too, and I thought about doing it," Bozak told the Toronto Star after the game. "(Orr) knew he was going to score -- he's a breakaway guy, he's a breakaway specialist."

And with that, we now return to the rich and vast territory of the National Football League.
