Puck Headlines: Mike Keenan serves first whine of the playoffs

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.

• Please recall last postseason, when the constant claims of goaltender interference by coaches in nearly every series got very annoying quite quickly, and made life hell for that poor Tomas Holmstrom. Well, Calgary Flames Coach Mike Keenan is first out of the gate with complaints about goalie interference by the Chicago Blackhawks -- both on Martin Havlat's game-winner (Keenan: The officials "didn't make the call because of the excitement of overtime") and in general about the Hawks "running" Miikka Kiprusoff. Something tells us the Flames will be doing extra work on the power play next game. [Between the Circles]

• Speaking of Chicago and goalies, a rather interesting story about Nikolai Khabibulin and his relationship with women's tennis. Not in, like, a Kournikova way. [Chicago Tribune]

• Great news for Versus, as the ratings for the first night of Stanley Cup playoffs action were up from last year. How this will affect the numbers for "The Best of Sports Soup" replays is anyone's guess. [Puck The Media]

• New Mental Floss quiz: Don Cherry outfit or clown costume? [Mental Floss, H/T Allison]

• Big Georges Laraque calls the Montreal Canadiens' defeat against the Boston Bruins in Game One a "good loss" and talks about playing on a top line with Saku Koivu and Alex Kovalev. A line we hope remains together, because GAS Line could be a killer nickname. [Bruins Blog]

• Great postmortem by Michael Russo on the Minnesota Wild's sweeping regime change, and a list of potential candidates for the new GM:  Jay Feaster, Pat Quinn, Doug MacLean, Neil Smith, Rick Dudley, Pierre McGuire and Nashville Director of Hockey Ops Mike Santos and assistant GM Paul Fenton. Pierre McGuire as the general manager of a National Hockey League team ... his office would be between the benches, of course.
