"But he does have a tendency to let in that back-breaking goal at the absolute worst time." At the very least your Andersen prediction already came true 💀

Rangers vs Bruins and Oilers vs Stars in the conference finals. But, honestly, I'm just happy Vegas is out more than anything so far in this playoffs.

I like that everyone's picking the Canucks to lose. As Ali said, "We're gonna shock the world!"

I think most people will agree that Colorado and Dallas is going to be going to Game 7 its going to be a crazy series.

Don't think Johnny here watched the Avs/Jets series. Mackinnon and Rantannen were mostly not there until the end, even though they had like 9 points each or something like that. It was the secondary scoring. Leuhkonen, Nichushkin, Wood, Colton, Mittlestadt, and even Trenin, played amazing and got goals. The only line that wasn't a scoring threat was the 4th line and honestly? They didn't need to be. They were just savage to the Jets team. Dallas is deep, sure. But give credit where credit is due.

Col In 6 Van in 4 Fla in 7 NY in 6

McJesus & Co in 7. NY Strangers in 6. Natty Mac & Co in 6. The plastic rats vs. The Boston Rat...FLA in 6. Next Round. As a FLYERS fan this pains me to say....but NY over FLA in 7. And I believe McDavid goes next level and the Oilers take care of the AVS in 5. NY vs. EDM duel for Lord Stanley's Cup... And Connor McDavid cements his legacy as 1 of the best ever to do it... The Oilers in 5. But the suprising part of the equation I believe will be Stuart Skinner is your 2024 Conn Smythe Trophy winner!!! How's that for intrigue?

Rangers in 5 Panthers in 5 Avs in 5 Canucks in 6

Im really really hoping as an Edmonton fan it will be an Oilers vs. Canes final. It will be the rematch we have been waiting 17 years for

no matter what the canucks do to prove to everyone how good they are. people still are sleeping on them

The Jets had a stud in net and great defensive depth too but we saw how that went. Not to say that Colorado is likely to light up Dallas, who I think are showing that they're better playoff performers than Winnipeg, but if anyone's going to chase Oettinger from the net in these playoffs it'll be them. Even as an Avs fan though I wouldn't be shocked to see Dallas come out on top. They basically have no weaknesses, they've got some seriously underrated players, and they always seem to be Colorado's kryptonite in the playoffs. Going to be a great series I think.

I honestly like how much people are underestimating the Canucks. I like being the underdogs. This team has shown all season and even in the playoffs that they’re a resilient team, and just find ways to win. Like what Tocchet said to these guys “meet pressure with pressure.”

Colorado depth everywhere

Avd vs Stars is gonna break my heart no matter how it goes. I think I put it out there in some of these comments that I'd play Annunen in the 3-1 situation just for the experience for a young goalie who is hot atm. It's nice to hear some love for the guy. Anyway, Dallas definetly deserves some love and a deep playoff run BUT if Avs takes this one they can probably take it to the cup final but not to the end. I don't think canucks or oilers can handle Avs for the 7-game series but Florida is so hot that I think they will take it, unless they break themselves with the physicality.

You picked all the favourites. Bold.

FLA 6, NYR 7, Stars 7, Oiler 5

Edmonton vs NYR final

"jake oettinger has been so on it right now" Remember what happened to your veizna winner folks. Avs in 6.

Vancouver in 7, Dallas in 6, eastern conference literally no idea

I don't make predictions but I'll just say this.....IF the canucks end up winning the series it will not be a surprise. If it happens and you think it's a surprise....you weren't paying attention.

Rangers in 6, Florida in 5, Edmonton in 6, Colorado in 6

I think the Oilers should win the series but all the hype is making me worry.

Watching this video was like hearing all my exact thoughts out loud. I 100% agree with all your predictions man.

oilers canucks is gonna be craaaazy. love both teams

While I would love to throw in some arguments in one direction or another concerning the different matchups, I believe you nailed it. 100 % agreed on every single series (even though I believe my Oilers can do it in 5). Continue your great work, love your vids!

Im honestly just proud of the Canucks this szn. Whatever happens in R2, they beat expectations from analysts and their fans as well. Hope they can keep this core together and be contenders for a couple of years from now.

Ik this is nhl only content but i would be interested if you talked about the U18 world juniors cause that was a hell of a game

Dallas in 7 Canucks in 7 (OT) Panthers in 5 Rangers in 6

EDM in 6 DAL in 7 CAR in 7 FLA in 6 I want a 2006 rematch with EDM vs CAR in the SCF lol

"Marek Malik" sent me lmao

Well my Avs probably take game one against either team since their in a game seven and are really tired

Sometimes getting cold is a neckbraker while playing game 7 can get the room on fire

Edmonton Florida Stanley cup finals. I am a bruins fan so that pains me to say, but hey. That’s my prediction. Series could go either way.

what do you think of the golden cheaters getting eliminated? I still think Vancouver have a chance, atleast 7 for me

My predictions: Stars Vs Avs: Stars in 7 (this one could go either way imo) Oilers Vs Canucks: Oilers in 6 Panthers Vs Bruins: Panthers in 5 (think it’s gonna be similar to the ECF with Florida Vs Carolina last year where it wasn’t close on paper but every game could’ve gone either way. This is my least confident prediction, just wanted to change it up a little) Carolina Vs Rangers: Rangers in 7

Nice call on the "Freddie Anderson has a tendency to let in a back-breaking goal" as he did against Panarin in 3rd period of game 1. Wasn't "back-breaking" per se, as the Canes made it 3-4 and pushed to tie, but it was the eventual game-winning goal.

Florida over boston Rangers over Carolina Avs over stars Oilers over canucks

Great vid! I say, FLA walks over the Bruins. I`m not sure if I should give the Bruins one or two games. But they looked flat in the last 3 games vs. the Leafs. And with all respect, Florida is a different animal. They made a solid TBL team look pretty bad. FLA in 5. NYR - Canes is super difficult. I tend to the Rangers. I like their forwards more, Trocheck is huge for them and they have the heck of a D. Canes should have won that game, but i see them fall in 6 or 7. Oilers - Nucks is another tight one. I don`t know if the Oilers are really that good, as the Kings have been one of the better matchups. In the regular season Vancouver pissed the Oilers off and always had an answer. Still, without Demko i think their goalie will cost them. Oilers in 6. Dallas - Avs. Brutal. Two absolute loaded teams. But the Avs marched over the Jets, who have been a contender and undressed one of the best Ds - goalie combination in the league. That makes them the team to beat for me. Who ever comes out here should have the favorite status over Oilers / Nucks winner. Avs do it in 7. If i had to bet on a final today, FLA vs. Avs woule be my bet. Only teams left that i don`t think can win the cup: Bruins and Nucks. The other 6 have chances.

As a Canadian, I'm excited for the Canucks vs Oilers. However I'm also looking forward to the Rangers vs Canes!

I'm rooting for the Canucks, but I am realistic enough to see that the series with the Oilers is going to be carnage. Canucks or Panthers to win the Cup for me.

Oilers in 5 Avs in 5 Canes In 6 Florida in 4

I can see swayman absolutely steal the series, that’s my prediction for the upset, cuz we all know something crazy gon happen.

Dallas in 6 Florida in 7 Canucks in 7

Avs, oilers, bruins, don’t care.

Canucks will surprise you

Yes this second round will be absolutely lethal, much watch hockey. Every team has amazing players😁😁😁😁

Stars secret weapon in the 4th line. Not one line isn’t lethal and the fourth line is insanely balanced and defensive minded

Why do so many people have goalies as their mvp? The easy choice which most of the times is wrong. So many second and third goalies playing well behind strong defense says alot

I hope second round is good. Aside from a couple series round one was limp.

Hey johnny we really need a video about makar because this guys is so underrated in the league and people seem to not understand how he take is team to another level like he did 2 year ago on that avs run

These are my predictions to a T as a Bs fan, I just don't see it happening against Florida. If Oettinger continues to look as solid and calm as he has I definitely think Stars make it to the cup. On the eastern side I think it's the Rangers' year. Dallas wins that in 7.

Panthers in 5 Canes in 5 Oilers in 6 Stars in 6 Then Canes in 7 Stars in 6 Canes in 6 I had every first round series correct (Also had Stars in 7 and couldn't understand why so many were picking them in 4 or 5) so this just follows the pathing I've been on before the postseason started

R2 Winners: Panthers, Rangers, Canucks, Avs

Bruins in seven Canucks in six Dallas in six New York in six

Canucks in 5

Canucks in 5. Avs in 6. Rangers in 6. Florida in 7.

It's time for some favorites choking, which probabilistically is always a must during playoffs and history always corroborates, so ... East: Canes/Bruins; West: Avs/Canucks

very sly by coach Tocchett...putting it out there he wonders if the refs are" just going to let them play"....subtle code for "please to give the Oilers any power plays"

Same 4 as you for me, no joke

"I'm not cheating" while showing Will Karlsson... good one. ;)

I’m pick 4 teams to move on in the final 4. 1) Stars in 7 2) Oilers in 6 3) Rangers in 7 and 4) Panthers in 6. All or nothing in the postseason to make that happen could be anything worth it.

Sorry but Canucks are beating the oilers.

I would take that Avs defense over the stars defense

confused at your perspective on the Avs. Otter was almost equally as up and down all season as Georgiev was. CO has similar depth up front with their deadline pickups as well as vets who have won the cup. PLUS they have superstars and with the addition of Walker an equally nasty D-Core. I'm sorry but if Hellebuyck couldn't steal the series for the jets, I don't see a worse goalie in Otter doing it. Avs in 5, maybe even 4 with a depleted Stars

If Dallas wants to get into a rush competition and open the game up, I’d say advantage Avs especially if Drouin comes back.

COL in 6 VAN in 7 BOS in 7 NYR in 5

Edmonton and Colorado are so streaky it really depends on which version we get. They are both unstoppable when rolling. Edmonton in 4 or Vancouver in 6 Colorado in 5 NYR in 6 Florida in 5

The widespread dismissal of the canucks is wild. Did these guys even nwatch the canucks this year?

Rangers in 5 Panthers in 6 Avs in 7 Canucks in 6

Oiler fan here. People from Van keep saying they wrecked the oilers in the season series. True. However, 3 of those 4 were before Knobloch/Coffey got onboard. that 4th game, the oilers held their own and lost by one goal (I don't count empty netters for the sake of this argument). I don't think the VAN/EDM series will be a cakewalk like anyone from either side is saying.

Edmonton, Dallas, Florida, NY - Dallas vs Florida in Stanley cup

Hi ! I discovered you not long ago and really enjoy what you do, thank you for all the videos ! First time writing a comment here too. My predictions = Florida in 6 Colorado in 7 Edmonton in 5 Rangers in 6

I want a rangers oilers final. Two great hockey cities. But cant count out the avs or panthers .

Huge Bruins fan but hard to disagree with picking the Panthers. They have home ice and will likely get away with the same thuggery they got away with last year.

Bruins in 7 Rangers in 6 Dallas in 7 Oilers in 6

canes in 7 cats in 5 oilers in 6 stars in 6

Avs in 6 Edm in 6 Car in 7 Fla in 6

We always one loopsided underdog win a series in thebplayoffs and we did not see one in the 1st round so either one of Bruins or Cancucks is gonna pull one over Florida or Oilers respectively.

Vancouver in 6

Oilers in 6 Rangers in 7 Florida in 6 Avs in 7

Since the 2015/2016 NHL season the teams that win game 7 in OT are 7-0 in the next series. FLA - BOS (W vs TOR) NYR - PIT (W vs CAR) DAL - COL (W vs VGK) CAR - WSH (W vs NYI) SJS - VGK (W vs COL) STL - DAL (W vs SJS) PIT - OTT (W vs NSH)

Agree with all except I'm going Colorado in 7.

Aves 4 canucks 7 rangers 5 panthers 5

That’s sounded the exact same as what people said before the Aves/Jets series. No elite goalie, yada yada, not as good depth, I think the depth of the aves is one of the best in the league and the way they dismantled the best defensive team in the league shows how dangerous they are. They really can do damage. Honestly it could go to game seven but at the same time if the aves are firing it could end up exactly like the series with the jets

Florida in 4 Canes in 7 Avs in 6 Oilers in 5

yeah people are just underestimating the canes, just like last year (most people said NYI in 7)

Fantastic video! I will say though your takes are always on point, but i disagree with two of them. Canes have had such a wild last couple of years, where they are CONSTANTLY the cup favourite and lose. I think they are in it to win it, and even though they dropped game 1, canes in 6. Also, literally everyone is doubting the Canucks right now, 23/24 espn reporters said OIL>, but the canucks have so much depth, especially on their defencive end that can totally bring the shots down. And even Silovs or DeSmith can take care of the loose change. As well, Oilers star power constantly doesn't show up when it matters. I may be a little biased as a flames fan beacuse im going to the game 5 in Vancouver, and hate the oilers with a passion, but im still convinced itll be VAN in 7.

Canucks vs stars and rangers vs bruins

Won me with the marek malik mvp huge rangers fan lfgr

Florida in 5 NYR in 7 Vancouver in 7 Colorado in 6

I’m a day late, so I have a benefit here. I watch Habs and pacific division the most, so it’s tough to pick MVPs in the east. Would have said Rangers in 6, now I say Rangers in 7. Would have said Florida in 6, now Florida in 7. Don’t follow east close enough to pick MVPs. I want to say Colorado in 7, but I think Dallas in 6. I hope I’m wrong. If I’m wrong, MVP Makar. Don’t see a lot of central games to be able to pick for sure, and haven’t seen a Dallas game all year. Edmonton in 6. MVP, Hyman or Draisaitl, but McJesus will be a huge factor, although not a high scorer. If Demko was around, different story.

The Bruins mustered just one shot on goal in the first period in game 5 v Tor. I think that is an NHL dubious record in the playoffs. They can't do this v FL. This year FL has recoded 3 different games with- 20+ SOG periods. BOS has a Knack of underperforming. And quite frankly I can't see them sustaining a high level or play through a series. Unless Swayman goes nuts I don't see them winning more than 2 games in this series.

Cats will devour all. Don’t see anybody beating them.

Canucks will win the Stanley Cup 2024 The Conn Smythe Trophy will be split between Arturs Silovs for stopping everything Nikita Zedorov for pounding everything then I woke up it was a good dream considering I'm a sixty year old Nuck Fan

I honestly just want us to edge Vancouver and make it to the WCF. I would get a kick out of playing in the Conference Finals again.

you the guy who predicted islanders and vegas to make it into the secod round?? 🤣

Canucks in 7

I agree with 3 of 4, but think Colorado has woke up and will win that series in 6. Only other difference is the Rangers in 6 instead of 7. If the Referees swallow their whistles in the All-Canadian series it will be a toss up, otherwise Oilers may sweep.

I hope you are wrong lol, except I don't mind the rangers.

Florida, New York, Colorado & Edmonton.
