Leafs were always meant to face the Bruins. It’s just destiny.

There simply is not another channel in existence today with the quality scripts you turn out week on week. Poignant, succinct, entertaining

Good. Luck. To. All. The. NOT VEGAS. Teams.

Hockey Psych’s running jokes like the Vegas Injured Reserves is what makes his content the best

What really happened was that the Predators were threatened that they would have to see U2 if they didn't shape up.

Is it odd that when watching my Leafs during regular season, I will randomly yell, "Well the parade is off!!! or parade back on!!!!"? Best part is the wife continuing to ask......"what parade?"!

Hockey Psych posts, I become happy. Life is simple really

As a new hockey fan, this has immediately became my favorite NHL channel, I greatly appreciate the insight my guy

An important thing worth mentioning that you missed with the Canes: they were down 2 star players and a couple others at the start of the playoffs last year and continued to suffer injuries through the rest of the playoffs with even Fast getting injured in the last game against Florida. With a (mostly) healthy roster right now (excluding the aforementioned defenseman) they look in way better shape to make an even better run this time around.

you’re literally better than analyst on tv dude. love every single video you’ve been pumping out this season

Dallas vs Carolina in the final.

as a Caps fan with 0 expectations this year, it’s gonna be a fun run and i can’t wait 😂to see

I love that Jake ottinger save, low effort and still makes it look good, the guy knows what he's doing, gunna be a tough goalie to score on

Excellent breakdown of the upcoming playoffs.... the script and visuals were all well put together. Amazing amount of content for just 18min. and I don't feel like any of that time was wasted.

Please do a "Win a round" on all the teams that haven't won a round.

Rangers fan here. Of all the teams the Rangers played this year, I think the Canucks were the best

16:18 Artemi Panera Bread, okay that one got me 😂

Love the way you broke down the strategy of each team. Really showed what makes each team unique.

Stanley Cup Finals: Nashville over Toronto in 6. Nashville going through the entire Canadian Gauntlet to win their first cup.

you put it perfectly, the Caps have been playing playoff hockey for the last month

hockey is the best pro sport on the planet. other leagues/sports may have more fans and generate more money, but the nhl consistently has the most entertaining games as a viewer. the playoffs just take it up to another level. i can't frickin' wait lol

before anything happens i'm putting "Marchand licks someone" on my playoff bingo card

Man, I love your Videos so much. Especially as a European Hockey Fan who can only watch so many Games live, your insights are most welcome everytime! Thanks and greetings from Germany!

What a great breakdown video. I love that you highlight each team's strengths and are not biased like some others.

Played hockey for a long time, but fell out of the game and it feels like i picked the perfect year to come back. Glad i found this channel to get my knowledge back up haha. Great content!

After your vids all season I have never been so excited going into a playoffs. Stars fan to heart but Nucks fan since young. What a season and as a Texan who grew up in the south I have learned more about hockey and see a new world of what happens on the ice because of this channel. I have never had a chance to ice skate. Always something I see in movies or last decade on youtube. Words can describe how great you have been from the start of your channel. Thank you for all you do and not expecting us to have grown up where hockey is the main sport! Now let's see who earns a jersey purchase this year! Keep up the great work!

Best hockey page on RU-vid by far . Vids are awesome man !

Hey HP .. Did it feel weird talking about Dallas for that long in a video ? :D :D

Thank you so much for all of your videos. You’ve helped me get back into hockey! 😄

Dude, I love how you even added "LTIR" after "Opponent" on the Stars part. Calling Vegas the LTIRs will never not be hilarious. Just love that you still snuck that in.

Don't think I've seen one of your videos before (I might have) but this was a fantastic breakdown! Keep up the good work!

This is the best analysis on the interwebs. Thanks!!

Best hockey channel on YT hands down. Props to you brother.

Another banger of a vid, hands down best NHL channel on RU-vid.

The battle of Florida will be the series to watch. It was the best series in the playoffs last time they played. So much skill, it should be very entertaining!

We need more of this.... A general update every week on how each team is doing

Top shelf content as always!

I love how in depth your videos are. All I would say you missed is the X Factor that is Igor Shesterkin.

I’m addicted to this channel

lets go pens :(

Great vid Love your stuff

The Stars are deep. I love the pick

Great analysis. So many monster teams this year, but I'm hoping for a miracle from the Caps!

"Mark The Undertaker Stone" 😂😂😂😂

I love how detailed this is

Have to ask is it multiple people putting these vids together? Cause this is just the best hockey content right now. I also have the pleasure of being at Game 3 of Leafs vs Bruins

Dallas(I'm biased,yes) but after 2020 in the Cup final, 2023 in the conference final, they have finally put the pieces together that work. This team really reminds me of the team in the late 90's.

You know the odds are long when the Leafs best shot is either the Bruins underestimating them and losing the series themselves, or the Leafs act like a completely different team. That said really looking forward to this year. I think the cup has a better chance of returning to Canada than it has in a long time. Winnipeg and the Canucks both look 99% of the way there and just need that extra something something for playoff success. If they either finds it, they're a top contender.

Love this channel! (Kings have to be frustrated😔)

As a caps fan I’m just happy to be here 🥺😂 love and peace to you all from Maryland 🥷

Colorado couldn't have got a worse opponent in the 1st round. The Jets are horrible matchup for the Avs

From my perspective, I just wish LA would have consistency and play to the level that they are capable of. They can be great and any team can win on any given night, but it feels like LA plays to the level of their opponent. They should've been stomping teams in the lower end of the standings but barely squeak by with an OT win in the last game of the season against the second-to-last place Blackhawks. They get caught by their rival Ducks towards the end of the season in a 3-1 loss, but can beat Vancouver 6-3 in the game before it. It's baffling to me as a Kings fan that every game feels like we've already lost until we don't. Trying to keep some faith, but that Oiler kryptonite is very real and it'll feel like we won the Cup of we make it out of the first round. *laughs to hide tears*

Saying “ppl wanna use the isles series to catch up on sleep” got me dying.

landeskogg is out until next season and even then we don't know if hes ever going to play again. Also, keep an eye on mackinnon this post season because hes going to turn into some type of unsighted monster

It's a shame that Panthers coach Maurice decided to binge on crack right before the final regular season game and give the Cats a matchup against the Lightning for no reason in round 1.

Thanks for your service my friend. also GO AVS GO

Stars get my vote as favorite. Reaching the finals a few years ago is a big plus with alot of the same players. Usually teams get a close call with a cup before maturing and actually winning one. Panthers would be my 2nd pick.

Excellent run down thanks bud

Absolutely love your breakdowns and how you see things! That said i think you didn’t see how much depth the oilers gained this year. Its not only relied on offense, they got key defensive this year that generates offensive and 3rd 4th liners that can grind. Goaltending is shaky though.

Great video king

Love this channel, but that video thumbnail triggered me enough to comment about my Bruins winning game 1 tonight. Well played, you bastard.

Fantastic breakdown! Stars have sincere depth, which is what takes teams to 16V. If the hockey gods wake up our goalies AVS will contend, Let’s go AVS! ❤

AMAZING video. Just now getting into Hockey since the Carolina Hurricanes are a top team.

great analysis

Awesome stuff!

There needs to be a hard cap for every game. If you are not under the cap at puck drop, then you can’t dress a player that would bring you over the cap

great video man

You’re awesome man!

This playoffs is going to be brutal. Stars-Knights revenge series? I’m in. Classic Bruins-Leafs series? Double in. A lot of people hate the Leafs but I think it would be really cool to see them slay their demon and beat the Bruins in what will almost certainly be a 7 game series, won’t be easy though, feels like the Bruins will have a bit of a chip on their shoulder after what happened last year.

Best review 👌

This show is better than anything the NHL Network puts out

Such a good subject idea.

Excellent video

Loved went you said "pulls of of Mark Stone" of Gabriel Landeskog🤣

That game 1 Avs v. Jets might just be one of the best games I’ve ever seen. Absolute barn burner

Remember when the bruins choked the biggest regular season run in history last year? I do and it was great 😂

awesome insight.

My team ia not in the playoffs (Seattle) and I get to enjoy watching this all shake out. Honestly, this is as wide open as I've seen the playoffs be in some time. Expect a lot of the unexpected to happen.

We have a great field of playoff teams this season and no clear favorite. The first round is going to be hockey worth watching and it only gets better from there. As a Stars fan, I just hope my team and its fans can carry themselves with some dignity this time around. Not like last year.

Best. Thumbnail. Ever. You're welcome, world. Sincerely, A lifelong Blues fan

I've got a Vancouver Florida final with Vancouver taking the win but all the teams are so good this year it's too close to make any predictions with certainty

I really liked this in a space that is over saturated with ppl who think they know hockey I enjoyed your quality analysis. Go Jets Go

Vancouver has their hands full with the preds

Hey @HockeyPsychology, I hope you’ll see this and respond. You talked a lot about defenseman who drive the team, and the plays, such as Josi, Q. Hughes etc. I’m curious if you think the future for Luke Hughes, and the devils includes that, do you believe that Luke Hughes is that future defenseman for the devils that can drive a team the way that Josi and Quinn have for their teams. Thanks. Great content.

Another unreal video. Wow this channel is fucking awesome.

I jusy hoping the Washington Statistical Anomalies can pull off an upset in Round 1 like Montreal did back in the day. Just being in the playoffs is already a bonus

This segment is sick

Edmonton vs LA, who would've guessed it?

People sleeping on Vegas... they're essentially the Panthers of last year, squeaking into the playoffs. And also happen to be the defending champs 🤫 So much depth and just stacked up on talent at the deadline ...and off the IR 😅 not an easy matchup for Dallas.

best NHL content on YT, easy

Buddy, incredible work keep it up.

- Vegas Injured Reserves - Mark Undetaker Stone - Tor Fighting Panic

I understand is an American sports thing to know East Vs West, which is the best of every division. But come on, third year with almost same teams and same play offs. They will anyway be a lottery and exciting to see don't get me wrong, but again LA Vs Oilers, Bruins Vs Toronto... I rather would see Oilers Vs Tampa, Avalanche Vs Hurricanes... I mean teams from same division have already face each other like 8 times in regular season. Maybe is only a problem, of regularity, few teams from the bottom surprise and rise to play off. And best teams continue every year. Just a thought from Finland, probably wrong. Great video as always!

Best hockey channel on RU-vid strikes again!

Dallas vs. Carolina in SC final

Even my teachers are in on the pre playoff chirps!

I genuinely enjoy your breakdowns, as they are quite detailed, and breakdown the technical aspects of the game into something digestible for a casual hockey fan, and thanks to your shoutout of Hockey Training, I've been able to show my son many technique videos to work on his game. Your jokes are getting tiresome though. Every video hearing " The Vegas Inure Reserves" is getting old. Yes, they exploit the LTIR, but 31 other tames have the ability to do it to. The CBA is the the joke, and laughing stock, not the Golden Knights.

As a canucks fan I hope demko can keep it together and we can play a more physical game because we all now how it will go if these things don’t line up

I think alot of ppl will tune in to this playoffs. Really excited to see what the league does to promote hockey
