OREGON, P.i-j- « Sanders flair shines before Super Bowl showdown MIAMI (AI1) Yo'vi couldn't miss him, not on this day Deion Sanders dressed up his uniform with a gold watch, dia mond-studded hoop earrings and an upside down golf visor worn Ixu.kwards and crowning a head ful of braids. There was a smile, shades and a strut. Most of all, there was an audience. He shuffled easily between football statement and fashion statement and for a moment even turned Joe Robbie Stadi um's field into a dance floor, giving Steve Young another les son in the Sanders Shuffle. It was Super Howl media da\ Tuesday and Sanders had the world by the ear. even though be made clear he could take or leave the hype SUPER BOWL 49ers vs. Chargers JANUARY 29, 1995 "I don't need exposure I'm household," he dm Jared The theatric s were so com pelling even some of his San Francisco 4'Jers teammates stopped to listen, standing amid the scores of reporters who sur rounded Sanders' pulpit He would jab and thrust, par ry and joke, stopping to hug an inquiring l.ris (jtrter and reflet 1 ing on questions from M I S .

Ml (wiine On! The waiting is over The loi k out soap opera of lot days came to an end two weeks ago as the National Hockey 1-eugue flavors Association and the owners reached an agreement Although the agreement is hard to follow, for hot key players and fans alike, all that is left are questions for the shortened season to answer. Does o 48-game schedule leave enough time to determine which teams deserve to go to the play offs' Are the players in shape after such a long leave of absence? Who will take the Stanley Cup from the New York Rangers? Although these questions, and many more, will lie answered as the season progresses to July t (the end of the playoffs). I'm going to try to answer these ques tions now. This is for all the impatient fans who do not want to continue playing the waiting game any longer, that for many makes the season so great Many hove argued for years that the regular 84-game si bed ——i'j ■! ■■ m ■ ... Mvkk McTm tile, plus the plavoffs, was too long of a season to decide who would be the t Hamptons Now with the season shortened to 48 games, it is a race to the finish No east vs west match-ups, just plain old rivalry showdowns The Kings vs Anaheim. Rangers vs Islanders, the Itabs vs the Bruins, this is what the race to the finish ought to be like The !vest of the west going against the lieasl from the east, for the .Stan ley Cup Once the start of the season was announced the question arose. "Would the players he ready7" The players have shown, in less than one week's time, they were more than ready to lace up their skates to play some puck You could not hove asked for a better op«ning night matt hup to be televised on I SI’S than the Buffalo Sabres vs the Hangars The key mati hup of tli*» night was not five-time .Stanley Cup win ner Mark Mi-suer going acainst the Sabres' st oring mm tune Pat LnFontaine. instead tt pitted goal tenders Grant Fuhr ami Mark Richter head to head Che two fought tooth and nail for every save, diving every which way, but to the end the rejuvenated Fuhr prevailed. 2-1 Two nights later, another All Star showed that he was more than ready to hit the ice Boston's Gam Neely (also known as Soabass in the recently released movie. “Dumb and Dumber ") scored the first hat trick of the season in front of a sold out hat tfirowing crowd at the Boston Garden. The Rangers of last year were the dominate team of the NHL. but w ith off season losses the New York champions seem to have lost a step or two So who will it lie raising the Cup above their head come July 1? The Hot key .Yews Michael Ulmer lielievos lhal the shortened season will help the Vum Oliver Canucks in their pursuit to make a return trip to the finals “The arrival of Jeff Brown in a trade from the St Louis Blues gave the Canucks the Inn hpin offensive defenseman they have craved, and I>uve Habych is com ing off his best play in years (Puvel) Bure scored -tu goals in his last aO gomes and has been satisfied with a luc rative new control t “Put that mix together and you have a potent brew for what promises to be a dizzying run for the playoffs " Ulmer may be coma t with Ins thesis, but everybody has forgot ten about the off-season acqui sitions the Blues made to add to their already overwhelming offensive attac k To go along with the likes of Brett Hull.
