(Thr Daily ear Hrrl A 21st-century miracle on ice How aboot this: It's hockey time. The NHL Stanley Cup Plavofl's commenced last week, and with it the indelible image of the toothless grin is brought into our living rooms once again. Hockey, old friend, how we missed thee. After the NHL's 2004-2005 lockout and ESPN's decision not to renew its contract with the league, professional American hockey skat ed pardon the pun on thin ice. An afterthought in the sports world in the years that followed. NHL games aired on the Outdoor Life Network, and snippets of high lights on Sports Center represented all the pucking coverage fans saw. But in light of this year’s play offs, anew hope gleams for the Neglected Hockey League if someone decides to take a chance on it once again. Now, the league still faces many of the problems it did prior to the lockout, such as a number of teams in markets that could support their teams much better. But the NHL now stands in a superior position to succeed than it did prior to the lockout, for two main reasons: new rules and new players. After the lockout, the “new NHL" began to take shape. Knowing their product needed some revamping to overcome the fans' apathetic attitude toward the sport, the league's officials devised a number of regulations which changed gameplay significantly. The new NHL rules instituted shootouts if games remain tied after regulation and a five-minute overtime period. Additionally, the rules allowed for two-line passes, increased the area of the offensive zones and reduced the dimen sions of goalies' equipment. All of this created a faster speed of play and higher scoring games two aspects that appeal more to the American public, which prefers score-a-thon sports such as football and basketball to chess matches such as soccer and the old NHL As the new NHL rules suc cessfully energized the game and opened the nets, so too did a gener ation of incoming players revitalize the league’s talent corps and image. Young guys such as the Carolina Hurricanes’ Eric Staal and the Ottawa Senators' Dany Heatlcy, along with a slew of others, quickly established themselves in the NHL's upper tier of players.

The sur names Crosby. Ovechkin and Malkin mean as much for the NHL’s future as James, Paul and Oden mean for the NBAs. Two years ago, the Pittsburgh Penguin's Sidney Crosby and the Washington Capitals' Alexander Ovechkin each surpassed the 100- point plateau —as rookies. The next season, the Penguins added Evgeni Malkin, who scored 85 points in his freshman cam paign while Ovechkin scored 92 and Crosby thanks to a 120- point year won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award. Which brings us to the 2008 playoff's: Watch them, and you might see hockey in anew light The new rules and young stars, combined with lots of parity in both conferences, have made for excellent postseason play. People always claimed that watching hockey in person makes true fans, and that holds true, but the old NHL struggled because it translated poorly to television one of the main reasons the NFL took off in the past couple decades stems from football s excellent compatibility with TV. Now the NHL is more boob tube friendly than ever before, but a family of meerkats on Animal Planet receives more exposure than the league's regular season. The playoffs almost entirely left off major networks, but they are getting enough airtime for people to notice the sport's new attitude. Ideally, the major networks will notice as well, as one of them should try at least a tentative con tract to air the NHL all year long. The league stands poised to make a comeback, but it needs the proper coverage to flourish. So, ESPN, what do you say... eh?

On Sunday, thanks to Carolina Union Activities Board's fun com mittee. students can find out the answer, as the two known as “The Dark Side of Oz” when played simultaneously will be screened at 8:30 p.m. on Polk Place. “It’s such a great urban legend,' said freshman Jesse Rice-Evans, who said she plans to attend. “The first time you hear it, you're like, 'Let’s check this out!" And adding to the mystique of the evening's festivities is the very date of the screening itself. April 20 has historically been celebrated as a day for the use of marijuana. The substance was a major social phe nomenon in the years surrounding the release of Dark Side, and the syncing of the album and “Oz" is steeped in drug culture. “We were looking at all the upcoming holidays and thought it would be funny to have something on that day," said Amanda Kao, chairwoman of CUAB's fun com mittee. "But 1 don't think this is an event that really is centered around the date. If it were January, I’d still want to do this." But the ties to April 20 will be hard to ignore. The event 's Facebook page explains that “munchies" will be served, and students discussed what foods they'd like to have avail able at the screening. “My committee and I went to Costco last night and just started pulling things off the shelf," Kao said. “We were going for variety we grabbed everything from Reese's Cups to cheese puff's." Kao and Rice-Evans both said “A BRISK NEW COMEDY. sf m.I * l R p .fE,Fo,fp.rL,fE.r l -i5 H 4!2^ * 'ASWRAWS(WSEfUITWUa" ‘ r^THECDIWmraTERS ■ I fi® V 7:10, 9:30.

Its just such a weird pop culture phenomenon." Kao shared similar sentiments, adding that the event is in no way intended to encourage any kind of mischievous behavior. “It’s really a pretty innocent Sudoku • • By The Mepham Group J t 2008 The Mephem Group Dttfndutod py Tribune Media Services AA rights reserved imi: masD Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in | ____ „ bold borders) con — _ " _ tains every digit Ito ( 0 O 9 For strategies on ■ O O A \ bow to solve Sudoku O J O C.

Sophomore Dane Kemp agreed, saying he expects the event to draw something of a cult audience. “I think it will kind of be a niche crowd," Kemp said. “Especially because Pink Floyd are a little out there themselves.’ Rice-Evans said she wasn't so sure about that. “It's the end of the semester, and everyone loves free food," she said. “Especially when you’re out of Easy Mac.
