Palin Drops Puck, Goalie Injured

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."

Something to Chew on, from 'da Coach

Would've, could've....

We here at OSG Headquarters don't espouse our political views here on the site. Sports is a different beast with somewhat different people who are generally a lot easier to deal with on a regular basis.

But, we couldn't pass up this story that we found on Yahoo.com earlier on Sunday. We just found a lot of humor in the thought. I don't know if we could do it justice by describing it, so follow the link: here

Political Humor...

In the interest of equal time. We feel obligated to post this bit from Saturday Night Live. Say what you will about most politicians, we here at OSG Headquarters do appreciate any politician who has a sense of humor. And, well, this qualifies.

Thanks NBC

We Will Not Go Down Without A Fight...

Okay... it's only been a few days now...
The end of the previous month, actually... when we thought we'd show you a former life of the current Republican PartyVice-Presidential candidate, Alaska Governor and self-admitted hockey mom... Sarah Palin...

Otherwise known as Tina Fey's sister at OSG HQ...

First it was K2 in Anchorage screaming copyright violations when they first surfaced...even as we, as we always do, gave the professional courtesy of telling you where the video originated.

Now, I'm sure it's no one in black dress suits and matching shades and Chevy Tahoes, calling the shots or anything, but the current reaction of clicking on our monitors is somewhat disturbing...
((Thanks: the youtube))

So, as a public service... once the monitor dies a painful, Big Brother-finger wagging blackout, you can always go here...
But, remember, we never mentioned it if anyone asks...

Just Who Is This Sarah Heath, Anyway...???

Actually, a lot of you know her these days as John McCain's running mate...
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin...

Here, as a sports anchor in a past life at KTUU-TV in Anchorage, she talks about Melvin McCants, Basil McRae, Brian Holton, and a relaxed Tommy Lasorda...

Enjoy...we'll keep posting until its removed permanently...
Pardon the extra monitors...
