Lightning captain Dave Andreychuk has played more regular season games (1,597) than any other active player without appearing in the Cup final.

Say Au Revoir To Andre
Andre Agassi lost Monday in the first round of the French Open to a qualifier from France ranked 271st - an upset that rivals the biggest in Grand Slam history. Jerome Haehnel, playing his first tour-level match at age 23, beat Agassi 6-4, 7-6 (4), 6-3. Looking lethargic and tentative, Agassi was bidding for his 800th match victory, but instead Haehnel improved to 1-0 lifetime.
