Some Panthers suggested the Avalanche were behind the last-minute subterfuge; others were told the red knob interfered with Fox TV's puck-tracking gimmick. "You mean the color? No, we didn't know anything about it," Colorado's Joe Sakic said.

Coach Doug MacLean was irritated by the mini-controversy and fought the change, but wouldn't label it as even a distraction especially with an even-more-important Game 2 awaiting on Thursday. Win, and the Panthers will leave Denver's mile-high altitude with the split they wanted, despite a power play that was 0-for-5 in Game 1 and is a league-worst 12-for-98 in the playoffs. Lose, and they will essentially be forced to sweep Games 3 and 4 in Miami. "We have a group that doesn't complain very much," MacLean said. "We know what has to be done." DENVER (AP) They're down 1-0 to the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup finals, with a defensive style not designed for comebacks.

But the Florida Panthers aren't waving the white flag or a red knob, either. OK, so the plug was pulled on the power play in their 3-1 loss in Game 1, and goaltender John Vanbies-brouck proved he will allow a goal in June. The deny-and-delay defense didn't generate turnovers or scoring chances, and team owner Wayne Huizenga's wife was warned not to dare throw any of those nasty plastic rats. Problems, problems everywhere for the Panthers, even down to the color of the knob on Vanbiesbrouck's stick. It was Panthers red for three years, but the NHL invoked a seldom-enforced rule by forcing him to make it a neutral white a few minutes before gametime Tuesday.

"We got more tentative and less aggressive.

They won that battle of aggressiveness big-time." The SuperSonics had only Shawn Kemp's 32 points to counter. And the mistakes of youth that included too many turnovers (18), too many needless fouls and no answer to the Bulls' fourth quarter non-Jordan, non-Pip-pen charge. They also had too many missed shots with Gary Payton, Detlef Schrempf and Sam Perkins being a combined 11 for 34. "Now we have to realize we have to play to win," Perkins said. "There's no way to play just to look good.

It was not often the loveliest display of basketball, this night of near nonstop whistles and incessant free throws. The prettiest thing in sight was Dennis Rodman's new haircut, a splash of colors that looked like a late Picasso. By halftime, Seattle had already lost reserve Frank Brickowski, who seemingly had been sent into the game with the mission of goading Rodman into something foolish. Instead, in only 1:45, Brickowski picked up a flagrant foul, then two technicals for automatic ejection.
