2024 NHL Stanley Cup Playoff Predictions

[@idontgivetkachuk]

Join our 2024 NHL Playoff Bracket Challenge!! bracketchallenge.nhl.com/en/leagues/35161 Was up since 3am working on this XD.. Hope you all enjoyed! Let me know who you picked to win it all 👀

[@Southboundpachyderm]

Get some rest my dude! You earned it. Sorry the algorithm fucks you over that way. It sucks as creators having to pull all nighters to get content out before the 5 million AI bot channels start posting and clogging the feed up. I hope you get a nice little chunk of my youtube premium sub. You have easily the best hockey channel on youtube right now because you're the only one that's NOT using chatgpt scripts and AI voiceovers to crank out the same "this player did what?!" kind of videos. Not gunna name names, but most of the bigger channels in this specific sphere are all using AI or outright plagiarizing in some way or another, and the fact that I can ACTUALLY tell you're not using AI, makes me enjoy your content even more. Stay genuine homie.

[@idontgivetkachuk]

I appreciate the support my guy 🙏

[@thecoyotesfan3639]

The coyotes were actually on pace to win the cup this year, however Gary Bettman decided he didn’t want the yotes in AZ anymore and he forced them to go on a 14 losing streak and made them relocate to Utah, Bettman has promised once the Coyotes come back in ~2028 via expansion they’ll be guaranteed to win the Cup in compensation

[@thisguygaming8675]

If Winnipeg wins the cups the city will never be the same

[@ahahahaha496]

Don't do this to yourself. It hurts too much😂. Go Jets Go though this honestly does feel like there best shot maybe ever

[@milanek1527]

​@@ahahahaha496"best shot ever" gets destroyed in 5 games

[@markymark3668]

I picked Oilers vs Hurricanes for Stanley Cup just to relive that 2006 nostalgia. 😂

[@vanessabruno9045]

This did not age quite so well

[@LordBitememan]

Remember, Knights are going to be a different team when their players are all healthy and over the salary cap.

[@milanek1527]

Las Vegas Injury Reserves

[@ffej4895]

Winnipeg? I have Edmonton to go all the way over Florida. Pretty sure I have Carolina losing in the conference.

[@jackshyper1380]

carolina is a completly diffrent team and the reason we lost last year was because svechnikov was injuried so we didnt have a pure goal scorer like we have now with the additions of kuzy and guentzel we will win the cup not to mention all the games last year were one goal games it could have been a sweep the other way tbh

[@atomicedits2382]

Predicted the finals matchup correctly

[@TheThejiaka]

nice pick not an easy thing to do. but alas the cats won and im loving it. GO PANTHERS.

[@thisguygaming8675]

Go Jets Go! This is OUR year

[@davidwelch6185]

That didn't go well for us

[@TheJimmyStDenisShow]

I was gonna do a playoff prediction video but decided to do a short Instead

[@hazen-vr]

Long time jet fan here who’s seen everything since they relocated. I absolutely think we could make the cup final, and at the same time, I agree, any central team who wins games will make the cup final. The central is just better this year, and one of those team is going all the way

[@greasygod93]

I love that you went logical and I just picked my dream playoffs lol.

[@danielpatterson5189]

Canucks fan here. I pick Winnipeg and Vancouver to make Confernce Finals too. Small thing but Vancouver kinda laid an egg the final game of the season and lost to Winnipeg giving them home ice in the Conference Final. I think that's an incredibly tight series and even though I'm picking Vancouver I can't help but think in a series this close that could have been a very important loss.

[@tomkruise111]

crazy thing is I can see the oilers losing in the first round. Big oilers fan but I can see them fumbling straight from the straight exactly how their season started. I'm saying either Canucks or Jets for the cup. Both have looked really good all year

[@jjbachmeier4785]

I don't know about Toronto out in the first this year but only time will tell

[@Benjarmon]

I know most of my hockey knowledge from IDGT as we've been IRL best friends since 2007. That being said... VANCOUVER?!?!?! ARE YOU HIGH?!?!?!

[@noneya9679]

Will you be doing an update video which you compare the results to your predictions?

[@banjo7117]

whoever wins out of the west between Vancouver and Winnipeg wins the cup

[@alchemical.fitness]

Nashville gonna do it bud. Better goaltending, better system, ROR and Josi..defence wins in playoffs..which means my leafs may be out in 1st again..either way, gonna be a fun 1st round all over..lets go!

[@idontgivetkachuk]

See that’s what killed me, cause like, I rly wanted to pick Nashville cause I have faith in em. They are rage popular dark horse pick rn.

[@rodhenson7657]

Vancouver has better defense

[@thatJAWNraps]

though credit where its due, if Winnipeg beats the Avs i think they make a legit run as i mention in my prediction vid too (my only vid on my channel from the other day is 10mins or so but its the only one i did and it was off the cuff (i rap/coach rap clients f/t - i know lol, best job ever) but skip the music and click vids and ull see one vid its the prediction one...

[@chrisbee9643]

11:20 Leafs fan here. Even I doubt we get the Boston monkey of our backs... Not with this core of greedy players, who disappear once they set personal records in the regular season... I am from Europe and it will be the first year, I wont kill health and rhythm of sleep for these overpaid players... The Leafs arent worth it anymore to stay up till 5 am and then go to work at 8 am... Even in regular season the have a really bad record on saturdays... Its like the Leafs piss on their European fans on purpose... Thats how I feel as a German Leafs fan... I hope Carolina goes all the way. Freddy gets a cup and sticks it to the Leafs, who took JT 11m bust over the best goalie we had since CuJo... I want it to happen. And I would freak out for Freddy getting his hands on the cup before the Leafs do... He wouldnt be the first, as Kadri was the problem, too... Yeah... The ones who showed up come playoff time were the problem... RIGHT... I was glad Dubas was gone, but Trelliving is even worse... He dishes out even more money for no success... Just wait until the let go Knies and Holmberg... Because JT gets 11m instead of his 6m worth of play...

[@jackshyper1380]

tbh i think that vancover is out in the first round because they dont have experiece in the playoffs and nashville is on a hot streak and i belive the final will be dallas carolina carolina in 7

[@imulippo5245]

Barkov lifts the cup after game seven against Oilers.

[@Geotrygon]

you predicted exactly what happened. that's insane!

[@danielspielvogel285]

I have the same exact finals matchup and winner

[@icedinferno8222]

Wow, our brackets are really similar. I have Nashville over Canucks and Oilers moving to the western finals. I have the Leafs over Boston and them moving to the eastern finals. Other then that, all identical. I also have Jets over Canes in the finals!

[@CheddarCheese__]

No disrespect but man did his bracket get cooked early

[@idontgivetkachuk]

As did most ppls, but that's what's fun about making predictions. U can't fully predict the unpredictable

[@thatJAWNraps]

i got NYR over WAS in 5 too, cuz the Caps win game 4 at home out of desperation with Ovi FINALLY stepping up realizign it could be his last playoff game and they win in OT or in a TIGHT game but then NY just puts them down back home in gm 5

[@thatJAWNraps]

Carolina a lollipop - too top heavy offensively, Rangers take them out in 6 and then beat Dallas or EDM in 7 to win it all

[@jackshyper1380]

top heavy that is all the rangers are they have panarin zibijad and kreider we have aho,svechnikov,jarvis,guentzel,necas all players who score lots of goals our goal tending has been better andersen has been the best goalie in the league since his return and kocketkov is a solid backup did see how good andersen played in game one and the people who arent our top guys

[@indianheadlogan]

I predict the rangers are gonna break the presidents trophy curse

This already aged badly lol

[@ShenmueAtheist]

Western Finals: Vancouver vs. Colorado - Vancouver wins in 6 games Eastern Finals: Florida vs Rangers - Rangers win in 7 games Stanley Cup: Vancouver vs New York - Vancouver wins in 7

[@berryscott3590]

I think all the Canadian teams will win their first round series... I hope Dallas beat Vegas, but unless some of Golden Knights potential returnees are not quite ready.... I can't see them doing it... Florida likely beats Tampa, but it will be close... Carolina will steam roll NYI... Rangers beat Washington...

[@ahahahaha496]

I hope Dallas beats Vegas too. To go out in the 1st after exploiting the ltir loophole would be just too sweet

[@berryscott3590]

@@ahahahaha496 I guess it's just Mark Stone with his annual return from the dead... But with the additions of Hertl and that guy from Calgary... unless they got nagging injuries we don't know about... They just might repeat... Once they're firing on all cylinders, who's gonna beat them, if Dallas doesn't early?

As a jets fan. It would be nice, but I’m not getting my hopes up. Jets notoriously choke, I really feel like this year is different, but I won’t get excited until I see it lol

[@blackberrythorns]

@@Melitonen i'm not a massive jets fan per se, they just have the depth, the goaltending and the blue collar work ethic - no massive stars/egos. if they play their game i think they can go all the way. they made some great moves picking up monahan and toffoli too, lots of experience and maturity which is great for playoffs plus they fit right in. they have a great team vibe and they got hot going into the playoffs so they have momentum. we'll see.

dont even mention the 'PT curse' - first off, its just a slight statistical anomoly in a sport with more luck/variable than any other according to legit studies - OH but also even if u believe, the Rangers are teh ONE TEAM IMMUNE TO IT! Its amazing how often they mention it only to NOT mention the last 3 times the rangers won the PT over the last 30yrs we were NEVER one of the many 1st/2nd round eliminatinos so our last 3 PT's ended with a cup final appearance, an ECF game 7 loss, and a cup WIN

I'll be on the side of history repeating itself. Corey Perry blessing/curse = Edmonton Oilers going to the finals only to lose. History repeating itself also means Carolina beating Edmonton for the Cup again (repeat of 2006)

[@jackshyper1380]

valid

[@FusionCyborg]

"Corey Perry blessing/curse = Edmonton Oilers going to the finals only to lose." Absolutely correct. "History repeating itself also means Carolina beating Edmonton for the Cup again (repeat of 2006)" If only you had gone with Edmonton Oilers losing in the Stanley Cup finals to a U.S. southeastern team to give said southeastern team it's first Stanley Cup championship, thus Florida defeating Edmonton.

I know these are subjective predictions but I have to say not only you sound half asleep. Your brain is half asleep with these picks. Boston beats Tampa and the rangers will face the jets or avalanche in the finals. **The NY Rangers win the Stanley Cup!**

[@idontgivetkachuk]

I’ve already had this bracket made before i woke up.

[@Southboundpachyderm]

Also, no way jets beat us in first round. They're a great team. Hellebyuck is a fucking amazing goalie. But Colorado plays way way way way too agressive and not just in spurts, but it's 60 minutes of having to defend breakout plays that look like they SHOULD die out in neutral ice, but usually just end up with mack the moose or rantaanan getting a hard pass from cale and just breaking through the middle with sheer will of force. That being said, Jets are the hardest matchup for us next to the oilers. I'm glad dallas is playing against the knights because they're gunna be fucking tired after that series and that's the best chance we have of beating Dallas in the second round. That being said if Avs are out early again this year, I'm rooting for the islanders and then the rangers. Rangers would be my number two, but I feel like the Islanders have worked so hard to turn shit around and Patty is coaching so they have to be my number two despite hating their ugly ass jerseys lol. In the end I think it's going to be colorado vs New york rangers. Rangers take it to 7 and I'm too scared to say who I think wins that series. I think Carolina has really good odds of getting to finals too, but I still don't think they score enough to actually take the cup itself. I wouldn't count them out though, and you gotta love brindy and what he's done with that team.
