Those jokes using the LTR to stack a playoff lineup will lead to rule changes soon. I saw goaltender warmups go away because of Al Arbor, I have seen a trapezoid because of some goaltender from NJ could handle the puck. It is one thing for things to fall into place with an injury, and you get a player back for the playoffs. It is another when it becomes your team's MO as a way to cheat. Everyone knows they got too much too soon with the expansion draft rules, and they strong-armed every team in the NHL with the draft. Well, at least teams with any kind of talent and depth.

An important thing worth mentioning that you missed with the Canes: they were down 2 star players and a couple others at the start of the playoffs last year and continued to suffer injuries through the rest of the playoffs with even Fast getting injured in the last game against Florida. With a (mostly) healthy roster right now (excluding the aforementioned defenseman) they look in way better shape to make an even better run this time around.

You know the odds are long when the Leafs best shot is either the Bruins underestimating them and losing the series themselves, or the Leafs act like a completely different team. That said really looking forward to this year. I think the cup has a better chance of returning to Canada than it has in a long time. Winnipeg and the Canucks both look 99% of the way there and just need that extra something something for playoff success. If they either finds it, they're a top contender.

I've got a Vancouver Florida final with Vancouver taking the win but all the teams are so good this year it's too close to make any predictions with certainty

There needs to be a hard cap for every game. If you are not under the cap at puck drop, then you can’t dress a player that would bring you over the cap

Best hockey channel on KZread strikes again!

Even my teachers are in on the pre playoff chirps!

Vancouver has their hands full with the preds

Absolutely love your breakdowns and how you see things! That said i think you didn’t see how much depth the oilers gained this year. Its not only relied on offense, they got key defensive this year that generates offensive and 3rd 4th liners that can grind. Goaltending is shaky though.

This playoffs is going to be brutal. Stars-Knights revenge series? I’m in. Classic Bruins-Leafs series? Double in. A lot of people hate the Leafs but I think it would be really cool to see them slay their demon and beat the Bruins in what will almost certainly be a 7 game series, won’t be easy though, feels like the Bruins will have a bit of a chip on their shoulder after what happened last year.

We have a great field of playoff teams this season and no clear favorite. The first round is going to be hockey worth watching and it only gets better from there. As a Stars fan, I just hope my team and its fans can carry themselves with some dignity this time around. Not like last year.

That game 1 Avs v. Jets might just be one of the best games I’ve ever seen. Absolute barn burner

I jusy hoping the Washington Statistical Anomalies can pull off an upset in Round 1 like Montreal did back in the day. Just being in the playoffs is already a bonus

Remember when the bruins choked the biggest regular season run in history last year? I do and it was great 😂

Vancouver playoff riot going to be wild this year

if i had a nickel for every time he called someone the "best player on the planet" id have two nickels. not much but weird that it happened twice

Gotta make a vid on your bracket predictions

From my perspective, I just wish LA would have consistency and play to the level that they are capable of. They can be great and any team can win on any given night, but it feels like LA plays to the level of their opponent. They should've been stomping teams in the lower end of the standings but barely squeak by with an OT win in the last game of the season against the second-to-last place Blackhawks. They get caught by their rival Ducks towards the end of the season in a 3-1 loss, but can beat Vancouver 6-3 in the game before it. It's baffling to me as a Kings fan that every game feels like we've already lost until we don't. Trying to keep some faith, but that Oiler kryptonite is very real and it'll feel like we won the Cup of we make it out of the first round. *laughs to hide tears*

Buddy, incredible work keep it up.

Love the thumbnail❤

I understand is an American sports thing to know East Vs West, which is the best of every division. But come on, third year with almost same teams and same play offs. They will anyway be a lottery and exciting to see don't get me wrong, but again LA Vs Oilers, Bruins Vs Toronto... I rather would see Oilers Vs Tampa, Avalanche Vs Hurricanes... I mean teams from same division have already face each other like 8 times in regular season. Maybe is only a problem, of regularity, few teams from the bottom surprise and rise to play off. And best teams continue every year. Just a thought from Finland, probably wrong. Great video as always!
