Hidden under Craig Adams' Pittsburgh jersey is one remnant of his Carolina days — the hip protection on his hockey pants, a slash of red attached to the top of his black Penguins pants.

CCM changed the way they make that part, and Adams never felt comfortable in the new version, so he's carried the Carolina red with him to Chicago (where it wasn't noticeable) and now to Pittsburgh (where it is).

Adams joined the Penguins in March when they claimed him on waivers from the Blackhawks, and he has appeared in all 13 of Pittsburgh's playoff games going into Monday, scoring his first career playoff goal in the Penguins' last game. (Although he was denied a goal by the NHL in Game 7 of the 2006 Stanley Cup finals.)
