Palin Has NHL Goalie Singing the Blues

Not only did Sarah Palin cost John McCain the presidency, some say, she robbed Manny Legace his job. The St. Louis Blues put the goalie on waivers after a string of injuries that started last October, when Legace slipped on a red carpet rolled out on the ice for Palin, Deadspin reports. “This is unbelievable,” Legace said.

The ensuing hip injury caused Legace, who had a $2.5 million contract, to miss five games. No team claimed Legace, so he’s headed to the minors with the Peoria Rivermen, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. “I’ll go to Peoria and help them try and win a Cup,” Legace said. “I just want to get my game back going.”
