Before last night's game between the hometown Blues and Kings in St. Louis, Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin was scheduled to drop the ceremonial first puck. But as the Blues came onto the ice led by goalie Manny Legace, Legace slipped onto the ice surface when he stepped onto the carpet that was going to be used for the Palin ceremony.
Seeing the risk, the team rolled up the portion of the carpet in front of the bench so the players could avoid stepping on it. Unfortunately, it was too late for Legace. Obviously in a bit of discomfort, Legace was seen taking a few extra stretches during warm-ups, and then proceeded to give up two goals on just 12 shots in the first period. He didn't return for the second, with the Blues saying he had suffered a "lower body injury." There's no word yet as to how much time he'll miss.
Video of the incident is after the jump.

Bruce's note: Legace is listed as "day to day" on the NHL injury report. Chris Mason, the Blues #2 goaltender, is out indefinitely following an appendectomy.
The Blues called up goaltender Ben Bishop from their AHL farm club
in Peoria, Illinois. Bishop, a St. Louis native, posted a 4-0 shutout of the Florida Panthers, but is also listed as "day to day" on the NHL injury report.
