Friday night Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck before the Los Angeles Kings - St. Louis Blues game. (Video below: Thanks FS Midwest)
After Palin dropped the puck, Blues goalie Manny Legace was the first player on the ice. A team official pointed to the carpet but according to Legace, the official moved his own foot from the carpet just as Legace put his foot down causing the carpet to slide. Legace fell and gingerly made his way to the crease.
Legace ended up hurting his hip or he described it as a strained left hip flexor. It's not believed to be serious just very painful.
After Legace made his first save of the night the pain felt worse. He played the entire first period facing 12 shots and allowing 2 L.A. Kings goals.
Does Legace have hard feelings toward Palin? That answer would be no.
"She's been pretty good for our game," Legace said. "I'm starting to like her more and more. No grudge."
