To a mixture of boos and cheers, Republican vice-presidential
candidate Sarah Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck at the Philadelphia
Flyers' home opener against the New York
Rangers.
The Alaska governor heard a few boos when she
walked onto the ice Saturday evening. But that soon turned to polite applause
as she walked out to center ice with Mike Richards of the Flyers and Scott
Gomez of the Rangers.
Palin waved to the crowd and
smiled as she dropped the puck to applause and cheers at the sold-out Wachovia Center
in South
Philadelphia.
