Monday's are a drag, but Tuesday's are filled with excitement, hope and above all else, mascots.

The day is finally here.  We know you've waited patiently for this day to come and now that the wait is over, it's time for Week 3 of our BarDown Mascot Power Rankings.

 

If you liked the rankings last week, you might be disappointed because only one mascot from last week's top ten was able to stay in the top ten.

In other words, we've got nine new mascots to showcase to the world, but before we do, here's a reminder of how we come up with the rankings.  Every week, we search far and wide, from the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, for the best mascot happenings from the past week in the world of sports.

We then use our secret formula, one even more treasured than the Krabby Patty Secret Formula, and then boom, we've got out rankings, which leads us to this week's power rankings. Enjoy, and for next week, if you see a mascot deserving of the top ten, send us a tweet explaining why!

10. Mr. Met, New York Mets (Last week: Unranked)

And you thought it wasn't baseball season.  Apparently Mr. Met and New York ace Noah Syndergaard have some beef and they tried to make amends this week.  It didn't work.

How will Mr. Met respond?  We can't wait to find out.

9. Oregon Duck and Cosmo The Cougar, Oregon Ducks and BYU (Up 400 spots)

One of the themes of this week's power rankings is teamwork.  Cosmo The Cougar and Oregon Duck displayed that in their dance-off and entertained the masses in the process with their incredible moves.

8. WuShock, Wichita State (Up 328 spots)

If cuteness levels are off the charts, you're automatically in the top ten and there are few things more adorable than a mascot as awesome as WuShock playing peekaboo with a child and said child laughing.

7. Benny The Bull, Chicago Bulls (Up 158 spots)

Benny The Bull is widely considered to be the best mascot in the NBA, and apparently Benny is a master hypnotist, too.

6. Stinger and NJ Devil, Columbus Blue Jackets and New Jersey Devils (Up 210 spots)

We've got a soft spot for great friendships, and although the Devils and Blue Jackets are Metropolitan Division rivals, their mascots are good friends, even when the two teams face each other.

 

5. Stuff The Magic Dragon, Orlando Magic (Up 96 spots)

Stuff has the Magic, and if these water bottle trick shots don't prove that, then this incredible no-look bucket will.

4. Pierre The Pelican, New Orleans Pelicans (Up 36 spots)

We're big fans of trolling and trick shots, and Pierre did both this week to earn a spot in the top four.

3. Slapshot, Washington Capitals (Down 2 spots)

Like we said, we love trolling, but Slapshot is much more than a troll artist.  Slapshot is also a legend at adapting to his environment and reacting on the fly.

Any other week that would be enough to stay at No. 1, but this week, it's not.

2. Sabretooth, Buffalo Sabres (Up 48 spots)

After Sabretooth got a look at last week's power rankings, it wanted in on the top ten.  Sabretooth called its shot and nailed it and is now in the top ten. #ShootersShoot

1. SJ Sharkie, San Jose Sharks (Up 24 spots)

For the third week in a row, we have a new hockey mascot at No. 1.

SJ Sharkie now has crown and the target on its back, but the top spot is well deserved after a busy week of celebrating with Brent Burns, roasting the Wild's mascot and dressing up as Deadpool.
