Watch Sharks’ Clowe break up an odd-man rush from the bench (VIDEO) | Puck Daddy The San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings may have clinched a playoff spot well before Thursday's game ended, but they certainly didn't play like it. It was a hard-fought battle right to the final horn and then some, with the Sharks narrowly edging their divisional rivals 6-5 in a shootout. But don't let the high score fool you into thinking there weren't any big defensive plays. Why, Ryane Clowe's pokecheck on Jarrett Stoll with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd period stands out, and not just because it broke up a very threatening-looking 3-on-2 rush and potentially saved a game-winning goal. It was also the fact that Clowe was on the bench at the time: Two things: First, this is the best use of waving red arrows in the history of waving red arrows. When asked about the play, Clowe responded, "I don't know what you're talking about." Needless to say, Stoll was shocked, gesticulating to the officials the moment he was separated from the puck. The pokecheck may very well loom large.
