The Hockey Mom is a JINX! Don't invite her to a NHL Hockey Game

Many say Sarah Palin is the reason the Republican presidential ticket is not doing well in the polls, she also seems to be bad for National Hockey League teams who invite her to drop the first puck.

Almost two weeks ago, Palin was booed prior to the Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers hockey game. The Flyers went on to lose the game. In fact, the Flyers had been winless until last night, when they won their first game of the year over the New Jersey Devils, 6-3.


While the Flyers were winning, Palin made her second appearance at a NHL hockey game between the St. Louis Blues and the Los Angeles Kings. Blues goalie Manny Legace left after one period Friday night with a hip injury that occurred when he slipped on the carpet placed on the ice for Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.



Legace described the injury as a strained left hip flexor. He doesn’t believe it is serious but said it is painful. He said he won’t play Saturday when the Blues host Florida, but wasn’t sure if he’d miss any additional games. “I felt a pull right away,” Legace said. “I was hoping it would just go away.”
