     "is hooking up with United Artists' 2,200 movie screens" for
     a spring Stanley Cup-themed promo behind its Surge brand,

     been moved from center ice to near the blue line, while the
     slot in the goal has been expanded from six to 15 inches in

     $1M if the shot is made (BRANDWEEK, 4/13 issue).
