"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Ottawa's Eric Gryba faces a hearing for sending Lars Eller off the ice on a stretcher. (Minas Panagiotakis/Icon SMI)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allan Muir&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Canada's Sun newspaper chain has never been a paragon of journalistic virtues, but  this is an execrable decision. Shame on them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Sean Gordon looks at  the two sides of the frightening hit on Lars Eller.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Fascinating how many former players jumped on Twitter to  pin the blame for the play on Montreal defender Raphael Diaz. I like the way Witt put it best.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Allan Maki wonders why the NHL doesn't  take out the guesswork and make every incident of head contact illegal. Think you'll find this concept gaining steam in the media over the next few days, but I don't see it catching on with the league. The speed of the game conspires with uniquely sized players to make some head contact inevitable. There has to be some room for interpretation, backed up with a greater awareness of safety among players.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Hard not to focus on Eller and his health after this one, but the Habs have to ask themselves how they  failed to put this one away in a second period where they outshot the Senators 27-7.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The defending champs are  on the ropes after Jonathan Quick allowed another late goal to the Blues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Jimmy Howard is using  a positive mental attitude to get over his late-game meltdown in Detroit's 5-4 OT win over the Ducks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Game 1 in the Capitals-Rangers series came down to Braden Holtby getting the better of Henrik Lundqvist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Sidney Crosby rejoined his regular linemates in practice on Thursday. That has to mean something, right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Phil Kessel says he is fine, but  his absence from practice yesterday ignited speculation that there might be a real problem lurking behind his \"maintenance day.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Boston needs another energetic effort from the Merlot Line to impose its will on its series against the Maple Leafs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Injuries, as much as the need for a shakeup, could lead to  changes at both ends of the ice for the Maple Leafs in Game 2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Marc Staal is  inching closer to a comeback with the Rangers, but there's still no timetable for his return.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The lines will get a shakeup, but there won't be  changes in net for Vancouver in Game 2. Roberto Luongo is back between the pipes. The question now is whether Cory Scheider will be available at any point during this series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The difference between the Canucks and Sharks right now may be the ability of San Jose GM Doug Wilson  to bring in young players who can contribute in key roles.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Minnesota coach Mike Yeo might not emphasize the need for Zach Parise to score goals in the playoffs, but  his contract sure does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The story of a construction worker who dropped a Canadiens puck into the foundation of a new Quebec City arena that may one day house the Nordiques continues to stir controversy in &lt;em&gt;La Belle Province&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 The new downtown arena deal in Edmonton is  on ice until the stakeholders decide to who will step up to solve the financing issues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 Seth Jones and Jay-Z aren't a thing. At least,  not yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 David Staples has the numbers to prove that Jonathan Drouin is the best draft-eligible forward in the QMJHL since Sidney Crosby. Does that make him a better choice than teammate Nathan MacKinnon?\n\u2022 The Hurricanes have too much money tied up in forwards and are desperate to improve their blueline. Luke DeCock wonders if  dealing Jeff Skinner could solve both problems. I can only imagine how poorly this idea is being received by the population of teen girls in the Triangle.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
