Mike the fact its up is a result of all the basement years which led to good draft picks. The central was arguably the worse division outside of the wings for many years. Look at the records. As a fan of a non central team I'm glad its up and the pacific is down a little. It should help the sharks get a higher seed and easier first round matchup.
Wings fans should know all about that.
No matter to me Sharks are still doing okay. Last night was painful to watch against the sens though. Didn't even finish watching the game. Switched over to kings flames game.
