Manny got sent down to the Blues AHL team. The whole ordeal was fairly complicated, and Manny was bitter. He's finally admitted a lot of it was his fault, because he had a bad attitude.
Anyway, here's an interview with him:

Where it says "Manny Legace At the Saloon"
Toward the end of the interview he says he fell in love with St. Louis because of how people treated him. He said in Detroit if you look at someone the wrong way, you get a "What's your problem?" kind of look. He said something about getting shot. Anyway, I found it interesting.
I have no malice toward Legace. But I can see why a team would feel a need to release him. He can be very bitter and let it affect his play. Manny couldn't handle that the Blues had acquired Mason. He finally admitted that at least part of this was his fault. I'm not sure if this is what happened with the Wings or not.
There's a Hockeybuzz article about it: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Andy-...Update/5/20975
