Bet you 100 bucks that Preds finish top ten ! Your to low on them for sure !
Also doubt Dallas will be top two ! Your bias is showing big time !
Glad to have the pressure off the Canes. I think they like being seen as a bit of an underdog.
Losing Broberg and Holloway really hurt. There was insane confidence in Oil Country this summer when we had amazing signing after amazing signing. But man, St Louis really made me doubt we could pull off another direct trip to the Final.
Washington is wayyyyyy too high
Blake has all the pressure with the Kings. If they flounder at the start or miss the playoffs I think he's probably going to be let go. His PLD gamble lost big. His only saving grace would be making it to the second rd.
Andddd… we have a Draisaitl contract.
Next month guys!!!!!! The opening night will be sad though because the horrible thing that happened to Johnny hockey I assume every team will do something for him before game starts as every team should
The Leafs pressure to win a Cup is fabricated by the Toronto media. The actual team has been nowhere near that
As a kings fan it’s hard to have hope when our GM and front office is just delusional. I already know PLD is going to pop off in Washington and we’ll look dumb cause we can get a good coach or system to help the players since all we do is play defense first
I feel the pressure to make the playoffs starts at 24 and up. The real pressure to win the Cup starts in the top 8. Nashville needs to be in the top 5, they have massive pressure to win now.
This is one of my favorite videos that you do. The teams 1-4 stand way above the rest in the pressure cooker.
Doing that to the blues is crazy
I completely disagree about Tampa. They ditched their Captain and face of the franchise to stay relevant.
If this doesn’t work management is going to get DESTROYED by fans.
If Nashville is gonna win a cup with their key players it will probably need to be this year with regression being the main factor
24:00: Here we are 24 hours later and Draisaitl has signed for 8 years, $112 million.
Expected to see the Oilers at the top of this list in all caps
I think you have the order of the central wrong. Nashville is under the most pressure. THose contracts were win now moves, and are likely to age poorly if they don't win early. Colorado is under less pressure because they have won, and there is uncertainty about 2 key players that should be figured out this year. That said Mikko contract is up, and they are getting to the peaks of careers for several key players. Dallas is under less pressure even though they do have some older players because the young talent has flashed brighter than the other 2 suggesting that the window could be a bit larger. Still some pressure to find a cup before teams like Chicago start pushing up.
Buffalo's gm did too much in the off-season. Watch for them to tank as in years, many years past. I feel bad for season ticket holders and the pegulas to be honest. Don't matter who is coaching them. Adams blew it.

Nice Panthers account exchange
Is there some pressure on Columbus now to “win one for Johnny”?
Toronto will never win the Stanley Cup again, there, all the pressure is off. Now to the real news. All the Pacific, and indeed the western teams don't need to feel "pressure" to win the Cup. They need to take a page from Badger Bob's Flames playbook in the 80s, and try to build a team capable of beating the Oilers. If they can "climb Mount Oilers" then they will pretty surely glide through the finals. The Cup has been won only by teams beating the Oilers the last 3 seasons. Make that your goal and maybe the finals parade will be easier to manifest.
It has to be Edmonton this year, after they put the fear of fears into Florida in last year's final by the biggest comeback – monster!!
Слишком много команд в НХЛ. Гдето 29 можно оставить.
Wild fan, here. While there isn't Stanley Cup pressure in MN per se, there IS pressure to convince Kaprizov to stay here. Getting back into the playoffs is a must. A second round exit instead of first would help.
We're all crossing our fingers that he follows in his idol's footsteps (Ovi) and spends his career with one team.
The goaltending among the top ten is weak. It's not going to be like the 2001 finals again🤓
Boston always has pressure to win the cup . Have you ever listened to Boston sports media ? Sweeney , Monty , Neely are all on the hot seat bud . You think Dallas is more pressure 😂😂😂
I think the Sharks have all the pressure in the world on them. With Smith, Celebrini, Eklund, Toffoli, Couture, Zetterlund, Grunland, Kunin, Bordeleau, Sturm, Goodrow, Wennberg, Delandria as your top 13 forwards, it's Stanley cup or fire Grier! wink, wink….
You said San Jose. You meant Columbus.
Hey my bruins still a top 10 I will take it hopefully top 5
Oilers will not even be close to winning the cup. Bruins are going to win it all. The B's have the best defense by far.
Hilarious that nobody is talking about the Bruins defense.
Bruins at number 9. No clue bud
Really pulling for Columbus to rally themselves to win for Gaudreau. If they make the playoffs, it would be the greatest hockey redemption story ever, as well as the most heartwarming hockey story ever.
If Utah won the Stanley Cup this season (and pigs all of a sudden develop the ability of flight) would they be considered a first year expansion team? LOL. Even the 1918 Toronto team wasn't a first-year expansion team.
Odd that Seattle (with big ticket adds in Stephenson and Montour) and Ottawa (balancing the blue line and adding Ullmark) remain below Minny IMO. Sure Wild dropped from being a playoff team and are standing pat but the risers in SEA and OTT should have more pressure to try to win
It's cup or bust for the Oilers, McDavid era is about to come to an end.
Toronto has never won more than 2 rounds in the playoffs…. ever..
I feel like this should be a top 10 – top 15 list. I mean obviously teams that arn't expected to make playoffs have 0 cup expectations, that goes without saying
that leafs magnet looks like their playoff run. Invisible
pitts has a lot of pressure with crosby, top 5.
Don t think either Caps//Pens will make it: Oilers to win ! up!!
The Oilers has zero pressure because they have too many good players. They will probably dominate and have a 70 win season to win the President Trophy and then win 16 straight to win the Cup.
Vegas by default is always top 5.
Vegas going to win it all again oh yeah!
All the pressure on the Oilers for sure.
Rangers have to be 1/2
I disagree with many of the picks you have made
They should have just touched the bowl
