Sarah Palin Gets NHL Goalie Fired

Deadspin ^ | 2/7/2009 | Peter Gaines

In a surprise move that made waves from St. Charles, MO to Belleville, IL, the St. Louis Blues placed former all-star goalie Manny Legace on waivers yesterday, and it's all Sarah Palin's fault.

The season got off to a rocky start for Legace. On October 24, he slipped on a carpet laid on the Scottrade Center ice for Alaskan anger bear (TM Wonkette) Sarah Palin, who was there to drop the ceremonial first puck. He missed five games with a hip injury and was never able to regain the All-Star form he showed during the Blues' 2007-08 season.

The last straw was the Blues' February 2nd game against the Detroit Red Wings, in which Legace allowed three goals on the first eight shots. He was pulled and had not played since. Since Legace cleared waivers, he will report to the Blues' AHL affiliate in Peoria, IL on Monday. As for Sarah Palin? She became Queen of Real America and lived happily ever after with her 12 children, the end.

What an asshole this guy Gaines is. Here is the link to the original Sporting News story ( http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=515073 )and see how he twisted and turned this into another Palin hate piece. Please make a comment in the comment section under his article.

Gaines isn’t smart enough to do real news, so he has to cover the world of sports... where those who can, do - those who can’t any more coach, and those who never could are journalists :)

Comedy is hard.
For people with this guy’s intellect it’s evidently impossible.

Wow! Sarah is omnipotent! She obviously engineered his fall because she had a personal animous against him.

Sour grapes indeed.

What happened? Did Sarah Bear shit in his woods???

Small Gaines, BIG LOSER!

You do realize they will not let up on Sarah. For one reason alone. MSM, liberals, and democrats will keep her in the news for years, twisting everything she does in fear of her running for polical office in the White house.

Not for nothing but it is hockey....

Fagette and all of these other gossip blogs need to DIAF.

Fine February Liberal Whine...did he sue the carpet manufacturer also?

[mountainlion]

If all that was true it would be a little thing next to the liberals!
Murtha accused Innocent Marines of murder.
John kerry accused V.N. vets of war crimes.
Jane fonda caused untold grief to V.N. vets.
Code pink attacks handicapped veterans.
B.O. disses the flag and the whole country.
Byden can't remember the truth.

Wow! Sarah is omnipotent!

No that would be Obama.

Now if The One had been there to drop the ceremonial first puck; first of all, the ice would have melted due to the intense light and heat of the aura of His Supremeness. Of course being The Messiah, He would have walked over the water, laid His hands on the poor injured fellow, healed him and would have turned the hockey puck into loaves and fishes, feeding the multitudes at the Scottrade Center. (Sarcasm!)

Which explains how Olbermann got his start.

Leave the ‘o’ out of it...

A policeman was killed in a Clinton motorcade, so I suppose that makes him a cop killer.

If one attributes any reasonably unforeseeable negative event associated with the target of resentment with negligence and malice on the part of said target, than one can nurse one’s resentments and grudges to gigantic proportions.

Does Mr. Gaines still blame his parents for all his failures and disappointments?

“Sarah’s Fault?” SPDS

That guy walks on ice for a living, but in solid ground he slips on a carpet.
