Chicag Blackhawks Minnesota has been pretty good this year, I know this sounds stupid, but I think this year it'll be Minnesota vs Washington in the cup finals, Washington will win it though.
Ottawa is 4-0 Boston. And Boston has only scored one even-strength goal vs Ottawa this year. So you might want to rethink that. Also Kalrsson is playing so watch out
Ottawa's record against Boston is 4 and 0 in the regular season this year, and in the last game against Boston they won without Karlsson. I believe Ottawa will come on top in that series but would be a close one because of Boston's playoff experience so I'm saying Ottawa in 7 for that series.
There's a reason why the regular season match ups don't matter in the play offs.. I'm not being ignorant but there's so many examples of a team winning the season series just to get out played in the play offs
Chicago, Minnesota, Calgary, Columbus, NY Rangers are dying now. San Jose, Edmonton, Toronto, Washington, Boston, Ottawa are all tied. Nashville, St. Louis, Anaheim, Montreal, Pittsburgh got in the bag.
I'm a pens fan myself and I know if we go against Washington it's going to be a tough series. I thought the same thing last year but we played well and won in game 6 I believe in OT with out a Trevor Daley. I believe they can overcome Washington again, but it's going to be very close
As a leafs fan I'm spooked for Washington but if you guys take them second round I'm hoping you win and keep the second round curse going for the pesky caps
beefnigs I hope so too! But I could honestly see Toronto taking the series. Washington won't be wining it as easy as people say. Toronto is a tough team and they have proved that and I know the ACC will be amped at the home games, they might very well win game 3 and 4
Crazy Costa Gaming its gonna be hard missing 3 players for the pens though. letang is out for 6 months and a couple more of your guys are out week to week status. plus caps have a powerhouse offense so it would be a good series to watch
Crazy Costa Gaming Washington doesn't play well in the playoffs and we have a lot of people comin off injury I'm hopeful for our boys again it'll be a good run either way
As a Bruins fan, I'm not thrilled about facing Ottawa. They've dominated us in the regular season and are playing really well heading into the playoffs. The Bruins are pretty banged up, especially with no Carlo or Krug. It should be a good series
To be fair the NHL 17 simulation isn't realistic because it doesn't account for injuries such as Letang, Methot, etc and in order for pit to repeat I feel like they would need him
Our brackets are very similar Tac. I have Caps and Hawks in the finals too and Caps winning it, only difference I have is Anaheim beating Edmonton in the semifinals.
MrRyan6262 I've seen Edmonton play. No doubt they're a goos team. But, as a majority young team, they're gonna fall under pressure in the first or second round. Just like the caps do.
nL Hyper Well the Caps also got Ovechkin who isn't a team player and playoffs are where team players strive. McDavid is a team player. You're right they could choke, but they could also use the pressure to their advantage and get motivated
Apathy EditZ yeah that's true.. montreal defence isn't better it's A LOT better look Boston has zendo Chara on the first line he's 40 and who is countering him on the other side none other than Shea weber.
So far the Simulation is Bang on in the west. That 4-3 EDM VS ANA is a very high possibility as they are currently 3-3 with game 7 on the 10th after a 7-1 win over the ducks. The preds are already in their WC spot. And as for Pens, they could stand a good chance beating the Sens. You might just get what you wished for!!! Crosby Vs Mcdavid
I understand your pick of Washington over the pens but u have to remember that capitals have lost pretty much all of there playoff series against the pens
Sorry TacTix no offense. But the CBJ can produce! Edmonton has had some good playoff teams throughout the years. I know this year we lost 4 to 1 against the Pens but you need to understand the Jackets are starting to show they may be the next potential team for next year. Remember they did have a 16 game winning streak this year. So do remember that. I'm not trying to hate, but give the CBJ the credit they do deserve. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Great predictions man!!!! Love your videos. Die hard Rangers fan here and I don't think we are going to get past the first round but it will be close with the Canadiens
That was actually somewhat realistic about how fleury was in net for the penguins because Murray left the game last night in warm up and fleury was on fire (not saying that I like the penguins AT ALL)
TacTixHD I respectfully disagree with rangers losing in round 1. I think rangers have more experience than habs. We'll probably make it to conference final at least
Dineth Altmann not that fast, they just fired their head coach. They will be in a full rebuild mode starting with their high draft pick this up coming draft
I can't believe you put wild losing to blues I know at the end of the year they haven't been doing good but if you have ever been to a wild playoff game you know the energy is enough to lift up the avs
ignoring how hard the Wilds offense has been playing recently is your mistake, the predators more dynamic offense and Rinne in the goal will sweep the Hawks. the Wild will make it to conference finals against the Oilers.
the rangers had a good season (reached ECF) in 2015 after they lost the final in 2014. The lightning had a good season (reached ECF) in 2016 after losing the final in 2015.
You got Edmonton going to far in the play offs.. Nice logic with San Jose but they are to good to lose to Edmonton (this year)... Oilers and Leafs are in the same boat and both will be one and done but I do believe that within the next 10 years we will see an Edmonton Vs Toronto Stanley Cup Final
pacific divistion final true. central div hawks down. round 2 STL vs NSH. pac EDM vs ANA. East NYR vs SENS, and metro WSH vs PENS. round 2 as of april 24. i want to know how Edmonton will do against NSH or STL in the confernce final since the hawks lost to the preds surprising us all.
I know why you're liking Boston. They've been better and better each game against Ottawa and it's gonna be a long series for Karlsson if he isn't 100%. They barely won when Boston didn't have Marchand so with Marchand that give Boston the edge.
Its not impossible for Pens to sweep caps although its unlikely, if the Pens scored in OT in game 1 last year in 2016, they would have swept Washington last year
The only one I don't like is that capitals beating the penguins on ur prediction because the pens have way more playoff experience so I think Pittsburgh would beat the caps
What we're you talking about "when a team loses the Stanley cup they do bad the next year. Not true bruins won the presidents trophy after 2013 rangers won the presidents trophy after 2014 and the lightning went to the eastern conference.
Im a pens fan and i think the pens will lose to WSH as well. The injuries are just too much this year. Hopefully maatta and malkin will be healthy by then
As much as I want to argue my habs always choke in the conference finals. Also it's great reading the comments and not seeing triggered rangers fans WAKE UP YOU GOLIE IS ALMOST 40
cant wait to see us pull yet another deep playoff run out of our asses just like in '06! not surprised the pens swept the capitals, when you lose 8 playoff series against one team its not easy to beat superstition. Let's hope we wont lose in the finals this time though!
everyone sleeping on columbus just because pittsburgh went all the way last year. i could easily see cbj pulling it off especially without letang on pittsburgh's back end.
I am a Red Wings fan and I want the caps to win because Ovi is my favorite player. And btw I'm not bandwagon, I still have my Ovi Jersey since 2009, he's always been my favorite.
Everyone said Washington was going all the way last year and there was no possible way for them to loose but Pittsburgh beat them in 6 games. In the entire Ovechkin era the Caps have never made it past the second round. They always choke in the playoffs and I don't see how it will be different this year. Nobody believe that Pittsburgh can repeat what they did last year but look at what they accomplished with so many injuries. Pittsburgh it the most resilient team and nobody should underestimate them. It does hurt having Letang out but they're still getting it done. Do I think they'll win again? I don't know but don't count them out.
I think your prediction is pretty good other than Washington winning the cup only because Washington seems to always choke even when they win the presidents trophy.
The thing is that Washington hasn't made it past the second round since 1997-98 in the playoffs so that's 11 times they made the playoffs and have not got past the second round
megataco45 we have matthews marner nylander connor brown hyman Carrick rielly kapanen and Freddy Anderson with 4 full foward lines and a solid defensive core
My predictions (leaf fan) Rd 1 Habs in 6 Sens in 7 Caps in 6 Pens in 5 Hawks in 5 Wild in 6 Flames in 7 Sharks in 6 Rd 2 Habs in 6 Caps in 7 Wild in 7 Sharks in 6 Rd 3 Caps in 5 Wild in 6 Cup Caps in 6
Toronto should of won tonight. Don't under estimate my team bro. And there's not way Pittsburgh will lose to Washington, Pittsburgh has 4 lines that produce night in and night out and their Defense are still top and better without Letang.
Knocking out my preds in the first round. Rip. I understand, think we have a decent shot though. But caps winning is pretty accurate. The only thing they really have going against them is the curse of not winning yet, no other reason to not pick them.
Hope you guys enjoyed this video! Feel free to comment your predictions below or what you thought of mine! :)
TacTixHD I agree that Blue Jackets - Penguins is a dumb matchup. Hopefully Nasher agrees aswell
TacTixHD Not gonna lie I made my bracket early today and we literally made all the same picks.
Lmao i made mine yesterday and mines exactly the same except for the wild vs. blues
TacTixHD I don't think Minnesota will be eliminated 1st round
Chicag Blackhawks Minnesota has been pretty good this year, I know this sounds stupid, but I think this year it'll be Minnesota vs Washington in the cup finals, Washington will win it though.
Blackhawks out first round and Caps out in round 2. Wait and see.
Dustin Stoller Hawks are now golfing after 4 games
Dustin Stoller So far... lmao. You might just be a wizard.
Dustin Stoller your a legend
*you're
You predicted it you goat
lol the Caps aren't gonna win
Oh but the next year they did
Gina Grenci Friedlander fuck the caps
How did you know.
But that didn't happen in 2018 the caps won 4/2
@@ax3221 bc muarry is ass if pens keep flurey they win 3 in a row
Ottawa is 4-0 Boston. And Boston has only scored one even-strength goal vs Ottawa this year. So you might want to rethink that. Also Kalrsson is playing so watch out
Ottawa's record against Boston is 4 and 0 in the regular season this year, and in the last game against Boston they won without Karlsson. I believe Ottawa will come on top in that series but would be a close one because of Boston's playoff experience so I'm saying Ottawa in 7 for that series.
There's a reason why the regular season match ups don't matter in the play offs.. I'm not being ignorant but there's so many examples of a team winning the season series just to get out played in the play offs
That's fair, and that's why I said it'd be a close 7 game series, it could easily go either way, but I still believe Ottawa can pull through
Chicago, Minnesota, Calgary, Columbus, NY Rangers are dying now. San Jose, Edmonton, Toronto, Washington, Boston, Ottawa are all tied. Nashville, St. Louis, Anaheim, Montreal, Pittsburgh got in the bag.
I'm a pens fan myself and I know if we go against Washington it's going to be a tough series. I thought the same thing last year but we played well and won in game 6 I believe in OT with out a Trevor Daley. I believe they can overcome Washington again, but it's going to be very close

Crazy Costa Gaming Washington doesn't play well in the playoffs and we have a lot of people comin off injury I'm hopeful for our boys again it'll be a good run either way
Crazy Costa Gaming True but it is even harder this year the capitals gained shattenkirk and you lost your *Star* defence man
#1 in the east vs #1 in the west.
Like really
Exactly, there's things called upsets
ARVIDSSON GOAT GO PREDS
Washington ain't gone beat penguins 😭😭
Roberto Paramo Jr these people make. Me laugh ❤️🐧
haha
Take that bitch
That simulation would make me kill myself. Literally the worst case scenario.
As a Bruins fan, I'm not thrilled about facing Ottawa. They've dominated us in the regular season and are playing really well heading into the playoffs. The Bruins are pretty banged up, especially with no Carlo or Krug. It should be a good series
I'm sooo excited for playoffs this year. Lots of good teams, it'll be the best playoff scene in years
Wow, no Lightning? They're going all the way this year!
Im depressed that they had such a unlucky year. :(
HYP3DSNIP3R lol lightning trash without Stamkos
Oh remember last season they went to the ECF game 7 without him. Ignorant fuck
HYP3DSNIP3R lightning got eliminated because of leafs win over penguins
too bad that there not even in the fucking playoffs
To be fair the NHL 17 simulation isn't realistic because it doesn't account for injuries such as Letang, Methot, etc and in order for pit to repeat I feel like they would need him
Our brackets are very similar Tac. I have Caps and Hawks in the finals too and Caps winning it, only difference I have is Anaheim beating Edmonton in the semifinals.
when was the last time 1 and 1 played eachother in the finals, what fun is it when u just pick the favourites the entire way through
That Edmonton bias tho
nL Hyper not too bias really, they will by pass the sharks but probably not the ducks
nL Hyper flames****
If you've seen Edmonton play you would realize how quickly they can dominate a game and I'm an American so no bias here
MrRyan6262 I've seen Edmonton play. No doubt they're a goos team. But, as a majority young team, they're gonna fall under pressure in the first or second round. Just like the caps do.
nL Hyper Well the Caps also got Ovechkin who isn't a team player and playoffs are where team players strive. McDavid is a team player. You're right they could choke, but they could also use the pressure to their advantage and get motivated
did same thing. chicago, Pitt in final. pitt down 3-1, came back and won it all. would be crazy to see another blown 3-1 lead
"Habs have better defence than Bruins" hilarious joke right there
Apathy EditZ it's not like he's lying
Apathy EditZ yeah that's true.. montreal defence isn't better it's A LOT better
look Boston has zendo Chara on the first line he's 40 and who is countering him on the other side none other than Shea weber.
its true that habs defense isnt the best but WAY better than bostons
after Weber they have no depth, Krug and Carlo are better than any other montreal defenceman.
Envra take a look at your third line and then montreals and then tell me about depth
So far the Simulation is Bang on in the west. That 4-3 EDM VS ANA is a very high possibility as they are currently 3-3 with game 7 on the 10th after a 7-1 win over the ducks. The preds are already in their WC spot. And as for Pens, they could stand a good chance beating the Sens. You might just get what you wished for!!! Crosby Vs Mcdavid
Wow nhl 17 is messed up I could see Pittsburgh beating Washington but definitely not in 5 games or less let alone a sweep
I understand your pick of Washington over the pens but u have to remember that capitals have lost pretty much all of there playoff series against the pens
Which means they're due to beat them
The Fish Savant that's not how you win a cup... saying "We're due to beat them"
find it hilarious that you add a little giggle every time you mentioned Toronto in the playoffs... don't sleep on the leafs tactix lol
Haha if I did it was completely unintentional
Honestly, the Pittsburgh Washington series is going to be the biggest matchup, it's going to be the game changer come the finals
Sorry TacTix no offense. But the CBJ can produce! Edmonton has had some good playoff teams throughout the years. I know this year we lost 4 to 1 against the Pens but you need to understand the Jackets are starting to show they may be the next potential team for next year. Remember they did have a 16 game winning streak this year. So do remember that. I'm not trying to hate, but give the CBJ the credit they do deserve. Don't judge a book by it's cover.
Great predictions man!!!! Love your videos. Die hard Rangers fan here and I don't think we are going to get past the first round but it will be close with the Canadiens
Sean Terable predictions
We made it but then horribly lost to senators
I love those predictions! Bring an Oilers fan ;)
Nice video!!!
That was actually somewhat realistic about how fleury was in net for the penguins because Murray left the game last night in warm up and fleury was on fire (not saying that I like the penguins AT ALL)
I think the Caps and the Oilers will be in the Stanley Cup Finals or the Caps and Blackhawks
wrong, nashville is 3-0 series
I love your predictions being a Habs and Oilers fans and wanting the Caps or the Habs to win the Stanley Cup...
TacTixHD I respectfully disagree with rangers losing in round 1. I think rangers have more experience than habs. We'll probably make it to conference final at least
Even if I saw this before the playoffs last year, I wouldn't get mad you picked the Caps over the Pens. What am I, six?
Chicago making it out of the first round seems like less of a guarantee the closer the series gets
Toronto will go 16-0 in the playoffs.
TheCanadianLannister lmao sweep in the first round
TheCanadianLannister you are obviously drunk or drugged lol
More likely the Canucks are good next year :/
Dineth Altmann not that fast, they just fired their head coach. They will be in a full rebuild mode starting with their high draft pick this up coming draft
0-4
I can't believe you put wild losing to blues I know at the end of the year they haven't been doing good but if you have ever been to a wild playoff game you know the energy is enough to lift up the avs
I'm a Blackhawks fan but I have to say the oilers aren't getting that far . and how do u call the ducks trash?
ignoring how hard the Wilds offense has been playing recently is your mistake, the predators more dynamic offense and Rinne in the goal will sweep the Hawks.
the Wild will make it to conference finals against the Oilers.
Watching this after it all took place is hilarious
Way too chalky of picks. Picked the number one teams in each conference to make the stanley cup final. That never happens.
the rangers had a good season (reached ECF) in 2015 after they lost the final in 2014. The lightning had a good season (reached ECF) in 2016 after losing the final in 2015.
I like your videos, you're a likable sort of guy. Good job
You got Edmonton going to far in the play offs.. Nice logic with San Jose but they are to good to lose to Edmonton (this year)... Oilers and Leafs are in the same boat and both will be one and done but I do believe that within the next 10 years we will see an Edmonton Vs Toronto Stanley Cup Final
pacific divistion final true. central div hawks down. round 2 STL vs NSH. pac EDM vs ANA. East NYR vs SENS, and metro WSH vs PENS. round 2 as of april 24. i want to know how Edmonton will do against NSH or STL in the confernce final since the hawks lost to the preds surprising us all.

you heard it hear first, caps are choking once again
The only way for the Rangers to make out of the first round is if Lundqvist stands on his brain
Thugs Bunny or Kreider slides into price....again
He was tripped by Alexei Emelin...
Thugs Bunny sure
Really excited to watch all the kids in Toronto.
man, EVERYONE is picking washington to win it this year, and rightfully so. it's who i picked as well, and they won it in my sim as well
You have a new subscriber. Let's Go Caps!!!
Its not impossible for Pens to sweep caps although its unlikely, if the Pens scored in OT in game 1 last year in 2016, they would have swept Washington last year
I dont understand why everyone is underestimating Minnesota they only finished 3 points behind Chicago and 5th in the league
I don't get why he picked Washington to win because they are not a playoff team!
Country 'n truck's yes they are
Country 'n truck's they suck ass in playoffs
True
Dont agree with the Blues and Wild series, wild on a 4 game win streak hot af atm
Good job! Picking Nashville out of the first round when they go up two nothing
Paused the video at the beginning and I'm going to guess 2 predictions. Wild lose in first round, and Oilers make it to the cup or conference finals!
We have identical picks outside of Sens Bruins
The only one I don't like is that capitals beating the penguins on ur prediction because the pens have way more playoff experience so I think Pittsburgh would beat the caps
What we're you talking about "when a team loses the Stanley cup they do bad the next year. Not true bruins won the presidents trophy after 2013 rangers won the presidents trophy after 2014 and the lightning went to the eastern conference.
Im a pens fan and i think the pens will lose to WSH as well. The injuries are just too much this year. Hopefully maatta and malkin will be healthy by then
As much as I want to argue my habs always choke in the conference finals. Also it's great reading the comments and not seeing triggered rangers fans WAKE UP YOU GOLIE IS ALMOST 40
The Chicago prediction aged well totally
Great video! I agree with most of you on these matchups
Pretty sure you said Chi Vs Wsh with Caps winning last year and neither made conference fiinals
cant wait to see us pull yet another deep playoff run out of our asses just like in '06! not surprised the pens swept the capitals, when you lose 8 playoff series against one team its not easy to beat superstition. Let's hope we wont lose in the finals this time though!
Tampa did great the year after they made it to the cup tho
everyone sleeping on columbus just because pittsburgh went all the way last year. i could easily see cbj pulling it off especially without letang on pittsburgh's back end.
Your Playoff Predictions aren't bad they are pretty accurate
what do you mean his second strait Phil Kessel should have won it last year
I am a Red Wings fan and I want the caps to win because Ovi is my favorite player. And btw I'm not bandwagon, I still have my Ovi Jersey since 2009, he's always been my favorite.
The best for rivalries would be
Chicago-Nashville
Battle of Alberta
Montreal Boston (the classic)
Ovie-Crosby
Btw the NHL sim engine is TRASH
When the Blackhawks got swept and a Ducks made it to the conference finals
Everyone said Washington was going all the way last year and there was no possible way for them to loose but Pittsburgh beat them in 6 games. In the entire Ovechkin era the Caps have never made it past the second round. They always choke in the playoffs and I don't see how it will be different this year. Nobody believe that Pittsburgh can repeat what they did last year but look at what they accomplished with so many injuries. Pittsburgh it the most resilient team and nobody should underestimate them. It does hurt having Letang out but they're still getting it done. Do I think they'll win again? I don't know but don't count them out.
TacTix what's your favorite team?
Why are you belittling Toronto so much? You don't really support a much better team in Edmonton.
I like Detroit... but Connor McDavid is my fave player, that's why I want to see Edmonton do well
T Verz toronto is good but not that good.
T Verz Edmonton shits on Toronto
T Verz Toronto thinks they are the center of the nhl and are so awesome... But tbh everyone just thinks their cocky.
everyone's saying hawks vs caps final. 1st in the west vs 1st in the east. such a typical pick.
I think your prediction is pretty good other than Washington winning the cup only because Washington seems to always choke even when they win the presidents trophy.
In my opinion (from a canucks fan) I think the best Stanley cup final matchup is Chicago vs Pittsburgh.
yeah.
NYR have an edge over MONTREAL since they took the first game
JANUSZ LIS agree 100% we gotta win Lundqvist is getting old
Now the Habs are leading 2-1!
Peachlover Now the Rangers are leading 3-2!
Ik every prediction the Hans beat ny which isn't true
I'm with you tactix! GO OILERS GO!!!
The thing is that Washington hasn't made it past the second round since 1997-98 in the playoffs so that's 11 times they made the playoffs and have not got past the second round
i loved the sim outcome being a pens fan lets hope they repeat
Tbh, i think the NHL simulation could happen. Not the sweep vs the caps though
megataco45 we have matthews marner nylander connor brown hyman Carrick rielly kapanen and Freddy Anderson with 4 full foward lines and a solid defensive core
Colin Giffen what team?
I can tell who did worse?
My predictions (leaf fan)
Rd 1
Habs in 6
Sens in 7
Caps in 6
Pens in 5
Hawks in 5
Wild in 6
Flames in 7
Sharks in 6
Rd 2
Habs in 6
Caps in 7
Wild in 7
Sharks in 6
Rd 3

Toronto vs Chicago or Edmonton would like to see an all Canadian match up
Bro how's your predictions so far Lol Caps looking like they about to continue their drought
Offense team of the year pack opening??
I think PIT loses first round to CBJ and St. Louis beats CHI and goes to cup against CAPS, CAPS win cup other then that you might be right
man u really thought Edmonton was gonna beat my ducks
I have the bruins going on a crazy run and winning the Cup. Comeback and tell me I'm a legend when it happens
Toronto should of won tonight. Don't under estimate my team bro. And there's not way Pittsburgh will lose to Washington, Pittsburgh has 4 lines that produce night in and night out and their Defense are still top and better without Letang.
You picked the pens over the jackets what is wrong with you tactix
hmm lets predict the playoffs.... i know! ill just pick the favourite to win for each match up!
I still have faith in my Toronto Maple Leafs
You just picked the better team. There are always flukes and players that don't produce how they did in the regular season
Knocking out my preds in the first round. Rip. I understand, think we have a decent shot though. But caps winning is pretty accurate. The only thing they really have going against them is the curse of not winning yet, no other reason to not pick them.
Ovi getting past the second round what is this #letsgopens
Hockey Trick shots and fails pens rule
lol
Why the bluejackets and not the flyers?
