Notes From All Over [UPDATE]

So, for the quick highlights:

The Preds CLINCHED a playoff spot Thursday night with a comeback win over the Blues, accompanied by a late Vancouver loss. Next up? Oy. More Red Wings, probably.

Jack's new 6-string Banjo arrived this week, which is pretty cool. East Side Fight Night co-founder Dan will have to help with the setup, but then it will look just like this, and maybe sound even that good.

Barcelona won the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Schalke 04, who are apparently German. Would getting a 2nd Champs League title in 3 years take some of the sting out of a rapidly-crapping Liga season ? Why yes, it would.
