I think Buffalo have a real chance to win it all. We may not have the strongest team on paper, but we truly have a chance, but every series will be a grind.

My hot take is that Micool is gonna win the cup. Last season we all thought he was gonna win the cup, since he so plainly stated it, however this season everyone thinks he was only talking about last season, little did we all know that he was actually predicting it for this one.

Thank you hewasajazzman, Slothfacekilla, Sulo, Frenchie, and Raymond for the sigs

I hope it's not too hot of a take that the Los Angeles Panthers will go back to the finals. To make it for-sure a hot one, I'll say we're going to sweep the San Francisco Pride, and at least one game will be a shutout.

A wild hot take, Nevada, #2 loses to St. Louis scarecrows in the first round of the playoffs. Unfortunately, this just happened and we got the wind blown out of us in 5 games. Time to pick up golf I guess

My wild take is that a player from the losing team will win the playoff MVP in this years playoffs. Much like McDavid in real life they will not come out to accept the award

Y'know how Atlanta was projected for like 32 wins or whatever at the start of the season? Well, as a wise @micool132 once told me: We're gonna win the cup.

That's my hot take and I'm sticking to it - I'm not even actually on the Atlanta roster lmao

Thanks @Amidships!

My hot take is that Cormier is going to lead the playoff scoring race. NEW is about to go on another deep run and he has done well enough so far.

There will be no sweeps in this playoffs. It would be very wild that all teams in the entire playoffs were to not have any sort of sweeps.

For sweet Sigs @sve7en
https://twitter.com/DwightKnight33/

Prediction: The playoff top scorer will not only not come from the winning squad, but not even from a team that makes the finals. I'm not sure who, but it's going to be a player on a team that loses the conference finals.

I can't say whether it's impossible or not, since i'm not really sure who all is even in the playoffs. But the WINny Lights are going to the win the cup with James Ward-Prowse as MVP (-:

a hot take is that wikileaks has published some information about some of the teams, and somehow each time a scandal comes to light it will be an opponent of the calgary dragons.
Each opponent withdraws to combat the allegations, and the Dragons win the cup. The end.
