Playoff Bandwagoning: Western Conference

With 2 points last night the Columbus Blue Jackets locked up the sixth playoff spot in the West, and we're coming down to the wire. Here are the current Western Conference standings:

DIV GP W L OT Pts GF GA Home Away L10 Streak
1 PAC 80 53 16 11 117 253 196 32-4-4 21-12-7 7-2-1 Won 2
2 CEN 79 51 19 9 111 290 233 27-8-4 24-11-5 6-4-0 Won 2
3 NW 80 45 29 6 96 249 242 26-10-4 19-19-2 4-6-0 Lost 1
4 CEN 80 44 24 12 100 257 214 23-9-8 21-15-4 7-2-1 Lost 1
5 NW 80 43 27 10 96 244 220 23-12-5 20-15-5 5-4-1 Won 1
6 CEN 80 41 29 10 92 222 221 25-12-3 16-17-7 5-1-4 Won 1
7 PAC 80 41 33 6 88 237 230 19-18-3 22-15-3 8-2-0 Lost 1
8 CEN 80 39 31 10 88 229 232 22-13-5 17-18-5 7-2-1 Won 1
9 CEN 80 39 33 8 86 205 222 24-13-4 15-20-4 4-3-3 Lost 1
10 NW 80 38 33 9 85 205 193 22-11-7 16-22-2 5-4-1 Won 1

 

So, PPPers, who should we root for in the West? San Jose because of their handsome teal jerseys and warm weather? Columbus on their first trip to the postseason (yes)? Anaheim because we all love Pronger and Bobby Ryan?

If anybody selects Vancouver or Detroit (besides SkinnyFish), I'm going to let Moose start blogging full time about how great the Oilers are.

The problem with Columbus is, can you imagine the sick feeling in your gut as long-suffering Leaf fans if they won?? I think I’ll be less sad if Detroit wins, just because I’m used to it by now.

That being said, the teams I hate the least are Columbus and St Louis

the best reason to pick Columbus is the fact that they will knock out either Calgary (whom I’m wholly indifferent) or Vancouver (aka Wellwood and his Swedish Chefs, a team I have no desire to ever see win, and not because I dislike the town, just the team). And then when Nash comes in 2010, he’ll have valuable playoff series winning experience!

I’m rooting for Columbus too, Mason and Nash, gotta love those guys but I heart Thornton and he deserves some success and a win. But San Jose’s due, and I like their fans so if I had to bandwagon for a western team, they are it with the Blue Jackets a close second choice.

I would go with Columbus, but I fear a decent run might help sway Nash to stay. And that would be bad.

You’re going to feel even more disgusting when Bobby Lou rips shit up, and the Canucks storm through to the Final.

Then, after the Canucks win, Bobby Lou will be the first goalie to accept the Stanley Cup from Commish Bettman.

And we all know who he’s going to hand it off to first……………

I didn't vote for Vancouver

Because I honestly believe they have no chance at all. They’re a very streaky team with streaky players. No Sedins on the board? lose Luongo has a nap? lose I voted Calgary, Bertuzzi or no I like Kiprusoff, as should you all

SO SAY WE ALL!

THE ANSWER IS ST. LOUIS

St. Louis Game Time is the closest thing we have in America to PPP. Don’t think about the team, think about the Web site you’d hang out at during the games! We bring the funny, we bring the breakdowns, we bring the creative curse words. We’d break the commenting machine with one game.

I know the Leafs and Blues didn’t get along during the Chuck Norris Division days, but let’s bygones be bygones. Let’s unite the clans.

Root for the Blues.

He does make a good point. Because of the exchange rate I think that PPP does become SLGT once you cross the 49th parallel.

i’m temporarily lifting my ’can’t cheer for canadian teams’ rule for mats. this is only possible because i don’t personally know any canucks fans. also, i feel a little sorry for them… they’ve never won anything. and they get a lot of rain. and they have a horrible inferiority complex about Toronto. and they’ve never won anything.

i could also get behind the Blues – any resentment from the Norris days is long gone.

and Columbus? seriously? why would i cheer for another expansion team to win the cup. that would be a victory for Bettman – F that.

I like

the way you think. We need to remember out Bettman hatred when choosing who to cheer for.
