* Jagr comes off the ice after warmups and notices former NHL player Matthew Barnaby, now representing Sirius XM NHL Radio, standing behind the bench, wearing a bright pink sport jacket. Jagr, who was teammates with Barnaby on the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, looks stunned.
"Holy Barny," Jagr screams, laughing almost uncontrollably at the jacket. "Nothing's changed. Still an idiot."
Barnaby starts cracking up after he and Jagr embrace with a hug. He says he bought the jacket on Monday.
* In the dressing room area after warmups, Benn is talking about the Discover NHL Shootout, when every player had to go for a breakaway. He says he doesn't know what he's going to do. "Gotta go to YouTube to figure it out," Benn says.
* It's just before the competition is set to begin and Nashville Predators defenseman Shea Weber is asked if he'll use a stick that's comfortable to him or something new for the AMP Energy Hardest Shot competition. He isn't sure, and admits there is pressure.
* Predators forward James Neal is told that he has to compete in the Bridgestone NHL Fastest Skater competition, the first event. He looks stunned, like his heart just dropped. He's relieved seconds later when he's told he doesn't have to do it, that it was a mistake.
"I think she mixed me up with Jos [Predators defenseman Roman Josi]," Neal says. "Thank God."
* Neal jumps off the bench and goes to the tunnel to meet with country music star Dierks Bentley, who is hanging out there and wearing a Predators jersey.
* Neal asks for a puck from the trainer with no explanation. Soon after, he's on the ice for the Honda NHL Breakaway Challenge, and it becomes apparent why he needed it.
Neal goes in, dekes and shoots over New Jersey Devils goalie Cory Schneider's shoulder. He immediately drops the puck he received from the trainer out of his other hand and shoots it into the net.
"That was a quick one," Neal says, admitted he just thought of the trick.
* Schneider and Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo are seen faux fighting in the net while San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns' 4-year-old son, Jagger, and Sharks captain Joe Pavelski's 5-year-old son, Nathan, are coming in on them during the Breakaway Challenge, guided by their fathers. Luongo pushes Schneider out of the way, but he's out of the net and both boys score to the adoration of the crowd.
