After blowing division, Sharks await first round destination

SAN JOSE – An evening of channel flipping is likely ahead for the Sharks’ coaching staff, and probably a few of the players, too.

Although the Sharks know they’ll start on the road next week for the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, it has yet to be determined whether they’ll be headed to sunny Anaheim or still-unthawing Edmonton.

Anaheim is in the driver’s seat for the division title, which would give it a first round matchup against Calgary. If the Ducks get at least one point against the Kings, or the Oilers lose in any fashion to Vancouver, then the third-seeded Sharks will go to Edmonton.
