MUST SEE : Crosby's 10th career hat trick.

With the Playoffs fast approaching, many teams are switching from regular grinding mode to the intensity of the post-season games. Now is the time to sharpen these saucer passes, to hit with more conviction and, obviously, score more goals. 

Sidney Crosby got the message loud and clear and scored his 10th hat trick yesterday, in a 4-0 win against the Panthers. 

What's most notable is how Crosby was in the dangerous zone for the three goals. He received brilliant passes, no doubt, but he was right where he needed to be. 

The Capitals and the Blackhawks are emerging as dominate figures for the Playoffs, but the Penguins need to be considered for sure as Cup contender too.
