First one!
Let me know your thoughts on who will make the playoffs and ultimately who is your cup champion pick as of this point in the season?
Vegas handles Edmonton easily in the second round
Canes over Canucks in the cup final
Leafs are not beating new york
Probably be better if you wouldāve used point percentage. Just sayin
Same here
If jack Campbell play in the playoffs Edmonton oilers are done like dinner
Oh for the love of God, all the Oilers have is McJesus and Draisaitl, beyond that, Demko would absolutely outplay Skinner. With another 200 foot player used to the ābattle of Albertaā in Elias Lindholm, the Canucks would outplay the Oilers in 6, especially if they get an upgrade at RD.
My Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions as of now:
DET vs BOS: Detroit (UPSET)
TBL VS FLA: Florida
TOR vs NYR: Rangers
PHI vs CAR: Carolina
DET vs FLA: Florida
CAR vs NYR: Carolina
CAR vs FLA: Florida
STL vs VAN: St. Louis (UPSET)
VGK vs EDM: Vegas
LAK vs COL: Colorado
WPG vs DAL: Winnipeg
STL vs VGK: Vegas
WPG vs COL: Winnipeg
VGK vs WPG: Winnipeg
Stanley Cup Finals: WPG vs FLA:
FLORIDA PANTHERS REDEEM THEMSELVES, & WIN THEIR FIRST STANLEY CUP!
In my opinion, the 3 most overrated teams as of right now are Edmonton, Boston, & the Rangers. Edmonton has shown that they can't beat true contenders the last 2 years, Colorado and Vegas. I still see Vegas as a much more balanced team than Edmonton. Boston is a good regular season team, but their style of play doesn't fit a style of hockey to win in the playoffs, and they showed that last year vs Florida. The Rangers are heavily carried by their power play. They are easily a bottom 10 team 5v5, and if they don't get power play opportunities, or they face a great penalty kill, their chances of winning decreases dramatically. I have Edmonton and Boston losing in round 1, and the only reason I have the Rangers winning a round is because they would play Toronto, and all Toronto does is lose in the playoffs.
Lol every teams logo is in the thumbnail art except the jets. Even the kraken! Cmon TSHš

Jets will not beat stars
VAN 20gp 14-2-4(32pts). EDM 20gp 17-3(34pts). Canucks vs Oilers record 3-0. GF 18 GA 6. Lots of people are sleeping on them. April 13th can't come sooner.
People have been saying that Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will be too much to handle in the playoffs for 4 years now, and it still hasn't happened yet
Edmonton relies too much on McJesus and Leon in the Playoffs. Until the other players start chipping in when it countsā¦Iād pass on them in the Final. Boston and Detroit in the first round would be a banger of a series. The Wings are young and hot, and the Bruins have a tendency to choke in the first round. Add in that their season series was 2-2. Itād be fun.
Let me guess. My Chicago Blackhawks aren't in your predictions. LOL
No way Philly makes the playoffs!
After winning 16 games in the row, Edmonton will out of gas in playoffs and lose in 1st round against Vagasššš
So Canucks blues interesting š
Canucks all th way
I'll disagree with the Detroit Boston series I live in the Detroit area and have watched the Red Wings play the Bruins closey and they have played them tough season series 2-2. I would still take Boston to win the series but I don't think it'll be as easily as you predict, I would predict it would go 6 to 7 games!!
I'm going to laugh so hard when the Oilers lose early and everyone that picked them will be 2nd guessing their analysis. Oils are not going anywhere.

youāre too funny to predict the oilers would win the cup š
Lol. Don't gamble.
Lets go Avs !!!!!!!!! Im sorry but Colorado beats the Oilers in 7 Games. It will be close but i just do not see it happening. As a Avs Fan we havent been healthy all year, we have had up down Season Between The Pipes with our goaltending and we could use some help on the Blue line. With all the said Colorado still leads the entire West lolā¦.. The Oilers Connor and Leon have not faired that well in the Playoffs when it comes to being Successful. They always hit a wall each year. Especially against Colorado. The Avalanche have Owed Connor McDavidās Oilers in the Playoffs in Recent years. I get it though your from Canada and your rolling with your Pick from the start of the Year. As well as i my self with The Florida Panthers
Aint No Canadian Team wining the Stanley Cup. The Jets and Canucks are Canadianās last hope.
Maple Leafs , Boston , Rangers are the most overrated teams in my opinion
1. 84 games
2. Old 8 seeds playoff format
3. I encourage a wild card round (11-8)… but I think just one wild card game 9-8 would be kinda refreshing… to miss the playoffs off a tie breaker or even 4 points ins pretty brutal…
4. 4 divisional games (28) 3 confrence (24) 2 out of confrence(32)
28+24+32=84… most fair, most even… can't get any more fair then that.
If they want to keep this format we going to have to go to 8 divisons but then you will always have the same teams playing against each other and get teams like ott,buf,and det still "penalized" for playing with the top 10 teams in the league. It's kinda ridiclous to see the same match ups in the playoffs.
Would be cool to have more of a divisional playoff with the 8 so every divisional winner then plays for the confrence then the cup….
Watch out for Buffalo!!
They could actually win the draft
I always love when we do these–very interesting to me that the Blues are currently in the 2nd Wild Card spot in the West, BUT, being a realistic hockey fan, I don't see them holding on and making the playoffs. Of course, they could surprise me and make it, like they did in 2019 ,I wouldn't be sad about that (LOL). I'm picking the Avs to get it together and win the Stanley Cup for this season on the backs of Nathan McKinnon and Cale Makar. Thanks for another excellent video, much appreciated.
Dude you pick aganst Vegas every year and every time you look worse and worse go watch a game
Of course TS Dude picks a Canadien team!! I hope the Oilers do win it because I don't want to see a grown man cry !! Only thing is Edmonton is peaking way too early and the Blues can knock ofc the Canucks first round upset!
Edmonton over Vancouver…
Because Skinner has a lot of playoff experience?
