The Haters Guide to the 2024 NHL Playoffs

Playoff hockey. What more needs to be said? Sixteen teams each with a chance at claiming the ultimate prize. Some are in an all-or-nothing phase. Some are eager to prove themselves. Some are just happy to be here and embrace the chaos.
This video is in dedication to the sixteen teams yearning for immortality. Fifteen of them will not make it. Let's go over all of them and their aspirations, big and small.
Yes, even the Capitals. Especially them.

I doubt this one's going to seven. The Bruins played four games against the Leafs this year and won all of them. I know, I know, playoff hockey is a different beast, but considering this is Toronto we're talking about? A team that has only won one series in the last two decades and immediately got punched in the mouth by the team that beat these same Bruins when they made it? I've got a gut feeling that the Bruins will win it in 5.

The biggest difference makers in the Leafs Bruins series will be Max Domi and Tyler Bertuzzi, if those two can establish their games and get under some of the bruins skin, I think they can finally conquer the boogeyman. They could also get swept in 3 games. I’m so nervous to see what team shows up tomorrow. They have more personalities than a mental hospital.

Mr. Tree, or may I call you Urinating? Epic channel and great episode as always. I'm retired and live in downtown Toronto and have been a Leafs fan all my life. I don't think being a Leafs fan is bad for people with high blood pressure. I think being a Leaf's fan is what GIVES people high blood pressure...

The NHL has all the makings of a hit anime all that’s left is an intro. My pick: Avalanche Dark Horse: Capitals because Ovechkin is the anime hero we need.

Nashville being an accord.. accurate af. Leafs being a cardiac... from a 3 decade-long leaf fan, yes, and it's taken years off my life for sure

I fully appreciate the F-Zero music throughout. 10/10

My First round Winners: Rangers, Canes, Leafs, Panthers, Preds, Stars, Oilers, Avalanche. I chose the Leafs, Preds, and Avs as upsets because upsets happen and in the Preds case it seems 1 wildcard wins every year and I feel like they have the best shot outside of maybe the lightning.

Happy 600k Tree!

The Jet's success is not solely due to Helly as you say. They have a great backup goaltender in L.B. who has pulled his weight equally as well considering how little they actually played him. They went through a short transition period & are back up to where they were when they sat in first place in the entire league with 4 games in hand. They did blow that but have proven themselves to be a team that could very well take the Stanley Cup this year. Good luck to all the teams who managed to make it this year.

You know the playoffs begin when UTree posts the Hater’s Guide Also GO PREDS!!!!

[@zacharyhelton8627]

Another great video!!! Let’s the playoffs begin!!!

[@PuckLuckChuck19]

It’s impossible for you to have watched the whole video, so how do you know it’s a great video?

[@freakinnuclearfantasy2511]

​@@PuckLuckChuck19because Urinating Tree uploaded it 🖕

[@PuckLuckChuck19]

@@freakinnuclearfantasy2511no kidding genius, but the video is 16 minutes long and the comment came out when the video was 1 minute old, so it’s impossible for him to have watched the whole video and have a genuine opinion on it

[@zacharyhelton8627]

Anytime Urinating Tree uploads a video it’s always gonna be great!💯 One of the best on KZbin!

[@jameswysocki6806]

​@PuckLuckChuck19 Is it possible that he is a Patreon subscriber of Tree's and had early access to the video? I don't care either way, just playing Devil's advocate...

[@user-zi6fm7zr5e]

Fantastic Pantera reference, Tree. Dime and Vinnie would be proud.

[@shanehaney6040]

Toronto playing the Bruins in the first round, I feel like I’ve seen this movie before. Let me guess - the Leafs get an early series lead, the fanbase begins to plan the victory parade, the Leafs pull the traditional Choke, then it’s Game 7 at TD Gardens and we all know how the story ends. Least I can admit my Jets are mid - we’re either getting btfo’d Round 1 or at the Conference, going off history. Making it to the Finals would be hilarious, especially considering Bettman’s recent visit up here…
