This week's Big Question: What does the word "playoffs" mean to you?
Joe Thornton, San Jose Sharks: "Everything's just turned up. Everything's magnified. The physicality goes up. Turnovers are magnified that much more. Your special teams are magnified. Everything's just so much more important. As soon as that first game starts, everything is just geared up. The buildings are more into it. Everything is just jacked up so much more. ... Even going into opposing buildings, it's so exciting. You can just feel the buzz. You can hear, no matter if you're at home or on the road, fans are there in warmup just getting ready.
