My hot take is that it's Texas' year. They have all the pieces and just need some luck to go with it. I believe in them. Bring the Cup back to the Central division!

My hot take was going to be that we would get through the playoffs without any kind of simming error, but we made it one day and that’s already happened so RIP.

My hot take is that a defenseman will lead at least one of the teams in playoff scoring scoring. The further that team goes, the more impressive it will be! Book it.

It's been a while since we've had a back to back cup champion, but the San Francisco Pride have all the pieces in place to make it happen. Time to keep the Pacific at the top!

I think that two teams are gonna play a really big prank where they swap jerseys with each other and then just pretend to be the other team for the rest of the playoffs. Imagine thinking it's some big upset but it's actually just Philadelphia dressed up as Atlanta or something

My hot take is that the Buffalo stampede are going to sweep every game and round of the series convincingly, but lose in the finals.

Atlanta will win the cup for the 42nd time in SHL history!! I do believe it will happen, it is a wild prediction that you told me to do!

Hot take: After not requiring a re-sim in quite a while, the first sim of the playoffs will need to be re-simmed (the second re-sim in as many weeks) causing mass hysteria.

If I had written this a day earlier, I would have said it would be impossible for Toronto to win the first two games against New England, only to wake up and find out they in fact only won once.

This is the year of the Inferno. We have slowly been building a team that is a sleeper in this years playoffs. We look forward to going deep and ruining dreams.

My hot take is that a player from the losing team will win the Razov for playoff MVP just like McDavid in the NHL this year. Has that ever happened in the SHL?

Despite requiring a high draft pick this coming draft, Yukon is , in Yukon fashion, going to push up to the semi-finals and then fall short resulting in a decent playoff finish, but a much lower pick than what they need. That's how things go for me typically.

Hot take, that isn't even a hot take, Buffalo Stampede will be the s77 challenge cup champions. Full sweep in every round but 1st (since we already lost a game .-.)

I believe that the average powerplay will be operating at an 80% pace and that the average penalty kill will be operating at 20%, just completely flip the script

My hot take is that every player in Nevada will get a hatty throughout the playoffs, including the goalie. I don't remember anything in the rulebook stating a goalie couldn't just *happen* to get a goal while blocking the puck.
