Henrik Lundqvist raises $35,000 for charity by selling Rangers Winter Classic mask

Henrik Lundqvist played a huge part in the New York Rangers' 2012 NHL Winter Classic victory at Citizen's Bank Park in Philadelphia. He made 34 saves, frustrated the Philadelphia Flyers throughout the game and stopped a penalty shot by Danny Briere in the final moments to preserve the win.

Now, Lundqvist has played another key role for Garden of Dreams, a non-profit charity that has helped "thousands of special children and their families" — by selling the mask he wore during the outdoor game.

5.1, 2.1 and other Surround Sound Systems

Surround sound audio is, simply put, sound that completely surrounds you. It means a speaker in virtually every corner of the room, projecting high-quality digital sound at you from all angles just as though you were in a theater.

Oh, but there’s so much more. It also means sound diversification, with deep, thunderous bass rumbling the floorboards as an explosion happens on screen, and subtle sound effects skittering and tapping behind you in a suspenseful scene. For music, it’s pure envelopment in the song you’re listening to.

In terms of nuts and bolts, it means a set of speakers, usually five including the all-important “center speaker,” and a subwoofer for powerful bass. This is where the term “5.1” comes from -- five speakers and a subwoofer. Below are definitions of the various parts of a surround sound system, as well as definitions of the various systems themselves.
