She gingerly dropped the puck ...

"We talked more about what happened at Salt Lake City this year and winning the gold meal at the Olympic Games," Gretzky said. "And she was really excited about that and thrilled about meeting Ed. Him getting the first goal, that really perked her up."

I thought she could have left her purse in the car or with her hubby, but other than that, her ceremonial puck drop was fine. To the US magazine reporter that wanted to know what color and size the Queen's skates were, uh, no skates on the red carpet. To ESPN, who thought it would be 'cool' to spend a few minutes with her majesty before the puck drop, a link.
