It's crazy how fast the seasons move these day, we aren't even at the deadline for this PT yet and a bunch of the series in the second round might already be over. So my hot take isn't exactly gonna be a super hot take, but I predict that Philly will be unstoppable and even steamroll a good SFP squad that is currently looking strong.

Buffalo ''Stampede'' will once again come in to ''play-offs'' as a mid tier team, but somehow get to the Finals. Won't say that they will win it all, but the Finals are a possible outcome.

The stage is set for the playoffs, the ice is icy, the teams are warmed up and ready to take the ice for the most exciting games of the year.

But wait...

What's this...?

BAH GAWD, ITS THE MONTREAL PATRIOTES WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

I think my hot take is that the playoffs were really good this year and I hope every year is like this moving forward , but with Hamilton winning it all

my hot take is that a team will be disqualified for mishandling lines or something akin to that, resulting in the St. Louis Scarecrows coming back into the SMJHL playoffs and winning the whole thing! Back from the dead they will say.

I am really not sure why we are even continuing with playoffs when Betzee is not in it.
League should have gone on offseason as soon as it was clear that Manhattan was going to be done for the season because only one person deserves to win and it’s me.
It’s Betzee’s world and you are all just living in it

Kelowna wins the SMJHL, Atlanta takes the SHL in a 7 game upset of San Francisco. Ive seen some crazy things happen in my time here so why the hell not!

My hottest take is that the league playoff points leader entering the semifinal will not be playing in the final. Is that that hot a take? Probably not actually

Hot take for these playoffs are that anything could end up happening. It will be interesting to see which teams take the lead early in the series.

my hot take for this season's playoff is that the forge will get swept in the conference finals, maybe I'm just salty about losing to them in the 1st round. there's always next season

I don’t have any hot takes now really, since we’re already to the conference finals. Anything I had would now be a cold take. I had NEW over BUF and MIN over NOLA, which I think weren’t selected that much in peoples brackets?

Quote:The SHL playoffs are upon us! Write a wild or hot take about this season’s playoffs, even if it’s impossible for it to even happen!

The Atlanta Inferno were eliminated, but it was decided that it was unfair to only play four games in the series so they're having the Inferno and Forge face off again in another seven game series. If the Forge win again, then everyone involved will accept the result, but if the Inferno win this time then the two teams will have one final seven game series to determine who the real winner is.

It's probably not that hot of a take but I think that Texas is due for a deep run. They've got a great team has bounced up against a lot of bad luck in the first couple of rounds. If a couple of things go their way this season I expect to see them go far.

montreal should have made the playoffs for the garbage cup, a spin off of the challenge cup, because who wants to go to montreal, definitely not any francophones and especially no one named michael

My hot take for the playoffs is that Base Pack is actually going to stop some pucks. I know this is an outrageous thing to say, but anything is possible!
