To borrow a phrase from another political arena, delivered with comic irony by re-elected B.C. Premier Christy Clark: “Well, that was easy.” Slightly more than five years after that city shaping report was delivered to Mayor Stephen Mandel, recommending a showplace arena be built in downtown Edmonton to replace aging Rexall Place, the project now has a solid green light from city council.

Here are your Puck Headlines: a glorious collection of news and views collected from the greatest blogosphere in sports and the few, the proud, the mainstream hockey media. That hockey game will haunt me until the day I die... — Joffrey Lupul (@JLupul) May 14, 2013 • Joffrey Lupul on the Game 7 collapse. • Interested in seeing an entire gallery of disappointed Maple Leafs fans? It's your lucky day. [ Windsor Star ] • "'Just wait for next year!' was always a phrase that was said with nervous, half-hearted undertones. This time around, everybody will be coming back with a taste of what's possible, and wanting a buffet." [ Leafs Nation ] • Ahead of Wednesday night's Game 1 versus the Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock is keeping mum on how his fourth line will look. [ MLive ] • Torey Krug is up for the Boston Bruins as insurance after defenseman Dennis Seidenberg played only 37 seconds in Game 7 before leaving with a leg injury. [ Boston Globe ] • Who is the best goalie of the remaining eight playoff teams? [ Edmonton Journal ] • Fresh off a first-round exit, Alex Ovechkin will join Team Russia at the World Championships. [ Capitals ] • Brandon Worley on the firing of Glen Gulutzan : "In the end, his team never seemed to really be able to gain the upper hand when the stakes were at their highest and it's likely that Gulutzan needs a few more years of coaching experience before he's ready to take over an NHL team again."

During his end of season press conference, Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish made a reference to the importance of faceoffs. His comment came as part of an answer on whether Sam Gagner could be relied upon on centre despite his woes in the faceoff circle; here in part is what he said: "Apparently from the analytics people, every 40 faceoffs that you lose in the defensive zone, one will end up in your net in the next 30 seconds, so it’s valuable but there are ways you can help support a centreman who has trouble winning faceoffs."

This will be the first time in 17 playoff series the Kings will have home-ice advantage. They last had home ice at the Forum, in a first-round series against Edmonton in 1992. The fifth-seeded Kings and sixth-seeded Sharks each won two games in their season series, but the Kings got five points because one of their losses was in a shootout. Brent Burns led both teams with eight points, on two goals and six assists. Justin Williams led the Kings with six points, on two goals and four assists. The teams last met in the playoffs in 2011, with the Sharks winning in six games.
