The Cheechoo Train keeps on rolling (thank you Boston!)

Jonathan Cheechoo scored another hat trick today. That's his fifth of the season and third against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. The Sharks beat the ducks 6-3 today. This was an important game for various reasons.
First of all, the sharks secured 5th position in the west and will play Nashville Predators in the playoffs. A lucky break for the Sharks, since the predators' number one goalie Tomas Vokoun is injured and will not play in the post-season.
Secondly, this game was bad news for Jaromir Jagr. Prior to the game, Jagr was leading the league in both points and goals. Too bad for him, Cheechoo overtook the lead in goals today thanks to the hat trick. Also, Jagr is no longer the leader in points. Joe Thornton (Big Joe), who arrived from Boston halfway through the season, now leads the league with 125 points. Jagr has just 122.

Good day for the Sharks as they now have eight consecutive victories.
Only one game remains in the regular season, against the LA Kings.
If San Jose keeps playing like they are now, there are few teams that can stop the Cheechoo train.
