The Dallas Stars' three Olympians sent their team into the Olympic break on a high note Saturday night. Finland's Kari Lehtonen made 26 saves to lead Dallas over the Phoenix Coyotes 2-1 Saturday night. He received plenty of help from the Stars' defense and got goals from Ray Whitney and Russia's Valeri Nichushkin. The victory moved Dallas into the eighth and final playoff position in the Western Conference for the first time this season.

There was only one rabbit taken in a Saturday morning hunt for 13 recovering Army veterans from the warrior transition units at Fort Polk in Louisiana and Fort Sam Houston in Texas, but everyone involved in the event at Chemin-A-Haut State Park near Bastrop thought it was a rousing success.

Moody Madness indeed, and quicker than even Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown thought. Nick Russell had 15 points to go with a couple of big steals as SMU beat No. 7 Cincinnati 76-55 on Saturday night, ending the Bearcats' 15-game winning streak. It was the Mustangs' third win over a Top 25 team in seven games since moving back into renovated Moody Coliseum on campus five weeks ago. ''If we didn't have a good team, all we'd have is a beautiful building,'' said Brown, in his second season at SMU.

Phil Kessel had the winning goal after nearly fighting a familiar foe. Kessel scored the second of three straight goals for Toronto in the third period and the Maple Leafs rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 on Saturday night. The U.S. Olympian assisted on the Maple Leafs' third goal and almost had his first Gordie Howe hat trick - a goal, an assist and a fight - when he and pesky Alexandre Burrows scuffled and just about dropped the gloves late in the second period. ''(Kessel) wasn't too thrilled about all that and neither was anyone on the bench,'' linemate James van Riemsdyk said.

Men, do not forget this Friday, Feb. 14! Only thing worse is forgetting your wedding anniversary. Try to do a little something special for the woman in your life. Just think about where you'd be without her.
