Blues goalie injured on Sarah Palin's carpet

The Blues rolled out the blue carpet for Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin Friday night, and in a bizarre accident, goalie Manny Legace tripped on the carpet before the game and eventually left with a strained left hip-flexor. The Blues were trailing by two goals when Legace departed after the first period, and while St. Louisan Ben Bishop was strong in his NHL debut, the club gave up two third-period goals in a 4-0 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues invited Palin to drop a ceremonial puck Friday, and before the game, arena workers laid out a roll of carpet in front of the team's bench. But before Palin came out, the Blues players took the ice and Legace was the first player on.

The Palin Curse strikes again.

The Blues will now win nothing of any significance till a Blues Hockey legend is brought in for a puck drop.

Brett Hull should work.

When will NHL teams learn that bringing in some politician for a puck drop is bad juju?

Wow, another team dared anger karma. She will always get you in the end. I wonder how much her outfit last night cost, was it from the $150,000 shopping spree?

Go home, evil woman, We don't want you in Hockey!

I heard her plane was trying to land in Detroit this morning but thousands of Wings fans ran unto the runway and layed down to prevent it.

I was there... it was terrible. So many people showed up who didn't know a thing about hockey. They walked to their seats during play and spilled dippin' dots all over the place.
When you play the kings, it should be an automatic W on your calender, that was just a terrible game....

Any coincidence that the flyers get their first win after palin drops the puck at the blues game and the blues play their worst game of the year, and injure their #1 goalie??

"Blues goalie injured on Sarah Palin's carpet".

I would make any one of the thousands of jokes but they'd all get starred by FN's overactive filter. Good lord, the jokes write themselves!

Goalie says he is liking her more and more - what a crock..

October 25, 2008  02:59 PM ET

It will also provide MSNBC and CNN with material to have a weekend debate how the Repubs are screwing up sports!

"Blues goalie injured on Sarah Palin's carpet".

And now, the Dems are going to complain that it's unfair for Repubs to use Sarah Palin's feminie charms to political advantage. They'll be asking that Hilary be given an equal opportunity to injure Legacy on her carpet!

Palin, Palin, Palin.....geez......Palin. She is good looking woman. If the country wants to elect a mediator to the top spot, then great. If taxes go up....okay. You reap what you sew. If the goalie cannot walk correctly, then he get hurt....he must be soft. Softer than Palin.
