Fun game. Some highlight reel goals, everything going well, everyone having fun. Great to see this time of year.

Sharks clinched a playoff spot (only the second team to do that out west). The best part was passing Detroit. Now Sharks control their destiny for home ice in the playoffs.

I read that playoff tickets went on sale in the afternoon, before we clinched a spot. That takes some confidence!

Calgary is 3 points behind Chicago in the 8th spot (but 2 more games plyaed). Would have been nice to see those two swap places, but I'm now okay with whatever happens out west. I think the top 8 will stay that way. Everyone is playing each other, so they'll be some shifting up and down.

Iginla got his 1000th point last nigh. Jumbo Joe Thornton is sitting at 997, so I hope he'll get it before the end of the season.

Good luck, and I hope you don't need to do any math to see if your team will make the playoffs!

A Patrik Elias hat trick.

...10pts behind 7th and 8th in the east with just five games left this season.
