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](http://www.nhl.com/ice/standings.htm?type=CON&navid=NAV|STN|Conf&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com):

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 ](http://hescoreheshoot.blogspot.com/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)start blogging full time about how great the Oilers are.
