I don't want to get greedy but I sure would like a division banner for the first time since it was 1991 and I was still offered crayons when I sat down in a restaurant.

I still request them, its no biggie.
Also gotta love the Pacific where being mediocre is good enough to be the best!
I don't really think sj passes la in the standings now. I think it comes down to sj and dal. Sj might have to beat Dallas in both those games because of ROWs
Also, the division champ won't be crowned until at least Thursday, likely happens final day.

Uh...Sharks are just two points back with four games left to play, including a home-and-home against the aforementioned LA. It's indeed quite possible--I'd say probable--they pass LA.

probable?
The Sharks lose the tiebreaker to the Kings, so if the Kings win their next 2 games vs EDM and MIN in regulation, the Sharks would need to go 4-0 to pass them

Sharks likely would have to out point la by 3 over the final 4 games. La plays Minnesota and Edmonton while sj has huge tilts with Dallas.
I think that they are the most likely to sweep their remaining games. The Kings are second but those last two games against the fishies are going to be at the very least hard fought.
Dallas well.......... just have it tuff.

San Jose is one of two teams to make the post-season every year since the lockout. They've been good for a number of years with a lot of different key players. It'll be weird if they miss out.

...and if the Sharks win their next two in regulation, roles are reversed. Perhaps I should have said "plausible" instead of "probable," but there's no harm in being optimistic.
Either way, I think who wins the division title will be decided in the very last game. And likely not in regulation.

What have you seen from the Sharks lately that suggests they will win twice against Dallas in regulation? Obviously they're still mathematically in it, but most of the Sharks board seems to agree that they're in the weeds big time right now...
