Having the best record in the entire league, making it to the finals, and winning the Cup are all significant accomplishments. Division champions just seems like a way to add significance to the divisions themselves. I think it’d make a little more sense if they played the majority of games in-division.

Out of 82 games 29 are in the division, 35% of regular season games are played within the Pacific division. Its not a huge deal, but it is not totally insignificant. I look at it a similar way as Soccer does derby matches. Last season we were the best out of all of our rivals. If we can't celebrate that then the terrorists have won.
