1 Game worn. After a pregame skate, the Avalanche told defenseman Todd Gill: "You are the weakest link; goodbye." Clearly miffed, Gill stormed away--still wearing his hockey gear.

2 Sore bird. News that Mario Lemieux's hip acted up at the Olympics couldn't have been good for Pittsburgh. Struggling to keep pace in the East, the Penguins now have a serious limp.
