My hot take is that everyone is going to have fun and enjoy the playoffs and there will be no controversy in any sort of way...could you imagine??? That would be crazy

I'm famous for my hot takes, so this will be easy. Toronto beats New England! The Wolfpack comes in overconfident and underprepared for a Canadian team that is hungry, famished even, for playoff success! Let's go North Stars, I believe in you!

Im ready for a hot take that will hurt my own team! I think that STL will take NBB to seven games. I think a lot of people are overlooking the potential STL has, alas I do not think they can defeat the mighty Battleborn.

My hot take is that the Philadelphia Forge, won't win the Challenge Cup as most people picked them to win in their bracket. Usually the president's trophy team winner does not end up winning the cup, so that is likely to happen again for these playoffs.

Thank you @Stadacona for the Chaewon player sig!

My hot take is that Saint Louis will come out and absolutely shock Nevada in the first two games, throwing them off and building up a head of steam to have a real Cinderella run!

my hot take for the SMJHL playoffs, is that my player will score 10 goals. After growing a lot this year, my guy is ready to produce as a dman. 10 goals. He had 8 in the regular season but who's counting?

I'd say that my wild take is that Vancouver will win the championship, but lets be real. That's not a hot take, that's just reality, now let's make it happen!!!

Here's my hot take: This playoffs will be one of the highest scoring in league history. I'm calling my shot now, it's not even going to be close.

I'm going to disguise my love for my favourite underdogs this season as a hot take and say the Dragons are making it to the finals. Don't let me down, friends. :>

I could see Baltimore causing a big upset and reaching the conference final, because they got put with teams outside of their division and I think their record is negatively affected by the fact that they had to face the stronger team in their own division.

I think the Texas Renegades are going to go all the way and win the Challenge Cup. They've not been able to get over the line for some time but I feel like this is the culmination of all their seasons of building and they're going to get a great payoff this time around

My hot take is that no one likes the playoffs, not the players, fans, managers, nobody. They are a waste of time and everyone hates them.

My hot take is that neither Philly nor San Francisco will make it to the finals. This will be the season of the upset and multiple lower seeds will see great success this offseason.
