Don Cherry backs Alfie; don’t write off Chicago; NHL draft map (Puck Headlines)
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. • Detroit Lions' defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh discovers the difference between the NHL and the NFL in his fair city., At football games, people throw flags. At hockey games, they throw cephalopods. • Don Cherry stands up for maligned realist Daniel Alfredsson. [ Ottawa Sun ] • Cam Charron on why it would be unwise to write off the Chicago Blackhawks just yet. I haven't read it or anything, but I'll just assume it says, "because they're really good and stuff." [ Backhand Shelf ] • Jonathan Toews after Game 4. "Eventually, something's got to give. We're too good a team. We've got too much talent. For as hard as we're working, something's got to go our way." [ MLive ] • An interactive visualization of the NHL drafts of yore. This is very, very cool stuff from Sarah Connors. [ Stanley Cup of Chowder ] • The last time the Penguins had a chance to close out an opponent in a Game 5 at home, in 2011, they lost big, both in the game and, eventually, the series. What can they learn from that fiasco, besides "don't let this happen again"? [ Post-Gazette ] • Logan Couture, on whether he's talked to good buddy Drew Doughty. "“No nothing, nothing. I’ve just talked to our friends. We have a group of mutual friends, about five to six guys, so I’ve texted them. But, I haven’t talked to Drew at all. It’s probably going to hold that way for another week.” [ Mayor's Manor ] • The San Jose Sharks would prefer that their series with the Los Angeles Kings goes seven games. One suspects they didn't prefer that when the series began, but here we are. [ Mercury News ] • So the Bruins lost one game. Big deal. Don't panic. It's not like they're going to lose the next three. When has that ever happened before? [ CSNNE ]

Blackhawks fan answers ‘Hossa’ on 3rd-grade math test, baffles teacher (Photo)
Maggie Ciara is a third grade student at Columbus Manor Elementary School in Oak Lawn, Ill. She’s also a Chicago Blackhawks fan, as her teacher discovered in a recent math exam. The question was “what is 9 times 9?” The answer? Marian Hossa, a.k.a. No. 81 for the Blackhawks. As you can see, her teacher was baffled at first ... We know what you’re thinking: Did she get credit for what was, in a roundabout way, a correct answer? Justin Breen of DNAinfo Chicago had this whimsical hockey story, and spoke with Maggie’s teacher. While she didn't quite get what the answer meant at first, Maggie clarified it for her: Her teacher, Christine Mech, circled the answer and wrote "What is this?" in red pen. When Maggie explained her response, Mech gave her credit, and she received an A+. "Maggie is a very clever little girl," said Mech, who's a Hawks fan and knew what Maggie was up to. "I love the way Maggie has a sense of humor. She did get her 100 percent on the quiz, and we had a little bit of a laugh afterward." Maggie's mother, Diane, posted a photo of the exam Wednesday afternoon, and it already has more than 1,300 "Likes" on Facebook. It even has appeared on the Blackhawks official Facebook page . Hopefully this ushers in a new era in Chicago area schools when it comes to math. After all: Duncan Keith times Duncan Keith equals Niklas Hjalmarsson, and Niklas Hjalmarsson times Niklas Hjalmarsson equals Marcus Kruger, and … Further proof that no matter what the question is, hockey is the answer. s/t Deadspin Related coverage on Yahoo! Sports: • Red Wings have Blackhawks on the ropes • NHL legend Patrick Roy named Colorado Avalanche coach • Tuukka Rask’s slip give Rangers’ Carl Hagelin easy goal (Video)

NHL Three Stars: Howard, Quick toss shutouts; Rangers survive sweep
Tom Cruise watched top gun and legend Anze Kopitar, far and away their best forward, make it rain, man, and help push the Sharks into oblivion as the Kings won this war of the worlds with their eyes wide shut. [ NHL Video ] No. 1 Star: Jimmy Howard, Detroit Red Wings The Red Wings goalie made 28 saves for his second career shutout, as Detroit won Game 4 over the Chicago Blackhawks, 2-0. He was especially good in the third period as the Blackhawks turned on the offense. Detroit leads the series, 3-1. No. 2 Star: Derek Stepan, New York Rangers The Rangers needed someone to make a play. Stepan did, twice. He stripped Zdeno Chara of the puck and scored to tie the Boston Bruins in the third period, 2-2. After Tyler Seguin’s goal gave Boston the lead again, Stepan set up Brian Boyle for another tying goal on the power play, where the Rangers were the worst team left in the postseason. New York won Game 4, 4-3 in overtime, on a Chris Kreider goal. Here’s the Stepan strip-and-score, helping the Rangers stay alive in the postseason.

Y! Sports Expert Picks
| Away | Expert | Home | Reason |
| Puck Daddy | Chicagoin 7 | Great, gritty battle between two teams loaded with big names and quality grunts. The Hossa Hex ends, much to our chagrin. | |
| Sam McCaig | Chicagoin 6 | Chicago's depth, skill and speed will prove to be too much for Philadelphia to overcome, and the 'Hawks can keep pace physically with the Flyers. | |
| Ross McKeon | Chicagoin 6 | The 'Hawks are poised to win their first Cup since 1961, but if we’ve learned anything from these playoffs it’s to expect the unexpected. | |
| Matt Romig | Chicagoin 6 | Give the 'Hawks the edge in skill, speed and special teams. Philly brings enough intangibles to extend an otherwise one-sided series. |
