Andrew Cogliano does not think that it is so bad that St. Louis has taken over first place in the West and that San Jose is pushing them in the Pacific division. The Ducks have been leading the way all season until this past weekend as far as the points race in the NHL is concerned but more importantly, the Sharks are only four points back in the Pacific. The Ducks ran away with their divisional title last season and it made it hard for Anaheim to play in the playoffs. "I think it gets the best out of guys," Cogliano said. "I think it gets more guys in playoff atmosphere because you're fighting for something. You're fighting for first place. You're fighting to put yourself in good position. I feel there's a totally different feel from last year. I think last year this team coasted a bit and knew where we were going. But this year is different."
