It should have been a night of fun despite the fact that the St. Louis Blues lost to the Atlanta Thrashers (4-2) during their home opener last night but an escalator malfunction at the Scottrade Center marred the evening and sent five of 13 injured people to the hospital.  Apparently, the bottom four steps collapsed around 9:30pm with a lot of people on it.  Four adults and a child were taken to hospitals with complaints ranging from twisted ankles to back and neck pain.  One person’s clothing or shoes were trapped in the escalator and had to be freed
