7th best record and the only reason they're 5 points back on the 4 spot is because of 3 games in hand I was gonna say that the good news is that they have games in hand over everyone ahead of them, but at the same time, i doubt any of them have a harder schedule down the stretch than us. 3 of our last 8 are against Detroit for instance. The games in hand might not mean as much. We'll see. Dallas seems to be fading. Thank God they lost tonight...if they had won, we'd be in a tie for 8th/9th in the West, and even in games. I think we have the second softest schedule now besides Nashville. All the other teams have to battle it out between each other and they all get the Sharks a combined 7 times or something like that.
