The Sharks most definitely ARE one of the WC's and overall league's powerhouses. The only team with more wins under their belt since the '05 lockout are the Red Wings. And not a single person would not have considered them a powerhouse until most recently.
So let's slow the horses down a bit. The Flames are no where close to being what the Sharks are. Not even close. Our performance this year was abysmal and the Flames are very very far off from being the perennial contender the Sharks are, let alone a Conference final appearance.
