Here is the video of how Manny Legace injured his leg on the Rug that Sara Palin used to walk out on to the ice to drop the puck before the Blues and Kings game. I think the arena staff really dropped the ball on this one, this is was an unfortunate and avoidable incident.
Manny Legace injured his hip flexor by slipping on the red carpet put out for Palin as she walked out on the ice for the ceremonial opening faceoff. Legace sat out the second and third periods of the Blues 4-0 loss to the Kings.
So one person loss is another person's gain, so due to the lower body injury to Manny Legace, former Univesity of Maine goalie Ben Bishop was called up to play for the Blues, he had a shut out going until he suffered a lower body injury. You can't make this stuff up folks.
St. Louisan Ben Bishop, 21, making his first NHL start in front his hometown fans, was on the verge of a personal shutout before leaving early in the third period with a lower-body injury. Marek Schwarz closed out the win, which was a bonus for a team already dealing with injuries to Manny Legace (hip) and Chris Mason (appendectomy).
"(Bishop) did really well," said Blues center Andy McDonald, who had three assists. "It's not easy ... first NHL game ... he got some time (Friday) night, but to have the start, he played real solid for us. He made some key saves and you need that. However long Manny is out, we don't know that, but obviously we've got a lot of depth, and they played extremely well tonight."
Caribou Barbie is most certainly a jinx. After she dropped the puck at the Flyers opener, they dropped 7 games. Now this. Politics and pucks don't miss.
ReplyDeleteI am fine with the Flyers losing being a Bruins fan, I am cool with that, and won't argue.
ReplyDeleteDear Goon:
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the best post titles I've seen in a while. Good work on that one. Also, I approve of your advocation of drunk hockey analysis
Drunk hockey analysis?
ReplyDeleteYou must like me title of the post?
See, this woman is deep rooted EVIL. She needs to go away, far away, and never step foot in a hockey arena again.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if she was going to hurt anyone, it could have been Wagner! Cripes, that chick isn't good for anything!
Just to let everyone know, the person who is to blame is the the STL native who was supposed to keep his foot on the carpet, but didn't. He's part of this conspiracy theory to help local native Ben Bishop play his 1st NHL game. Hence he moved his foot off the carpet hoping to hurt Manny, and so they would have to bring in Ben, well it backfired the next night, as Big Ben decided to check himself into the boards tweaking his groin. Thus, JPL from Alaska was called up to Peoria, in a way the Gov. of Alaska was still helping her state. Ha Ha...
