     Playoffs and the increased amount of "lassoing" and
     "stickholding:"  "Get Cup Crazy?  Nah.  The NHL needs a new
     slogan as it embarks on another springtime caravan. ...
     Handcuffs, not fisticuffs. ... In the NHL in springtime,
     it's sometimes hard to see the stars through the clouds"
     (PHILA. DAILY NEWS, 4/17).  In Deseret, Brad Rock previews
     the NHL playoffs under the header, "This Is The Time Of Year
     To Be Cool."  Rock: "Hockey's rise in popularity isn't an
     accident.  NHL players are more accessible, and agreeable,
     than their counterparts" (DESERET NEWS, 4/15).....U.S.
