Comedy on Ice

Apparently after waiving free agent bust Patrick Lalime and losing Curtis Sanford to a hip-flexor injury, the St. Louis Blues were left with goalie Jason Bacashihua to man the nets for the Blues Saturday against the Flyers. Bacashihua made his first ever start in goal in the NHL. It did not go well. His backup, Chris Beckford-Tseu, had to fly in from Alaska of the ECHL. He arrived an hour before the game. If he had not arrived on time, the Blues were ready to dress St. Charles County police officer Bill Muller to be their back up net minder.

I wonder if Officer Muller is one of the members of the St. Charles Police force who gets to hang out in Olde Saint Charles on a horse. Maybe if the Blues want to pull in some more business, they can put Officer Muller in full goalie gear on the horse and bring them out to watch the goal for a night. For good measure that would certainly piss PETA off, which is always good. We can always dream.
