 What's up guys, takedown here and today I'm going to be talking about the 2018 Stanley Cup playoffs really interesting first round. Today is when the first round starts, the playoffs officially have started today. I'll probably upload it tomorrow, but I'm going to be talking about the first round. I'm going to make another video once the first round is done about the second round and then the third round and then the final. So stay tuned if you guys are interested in that. Comment down below your predictions of the first round up. I'm really interested. Some matchups more than others, of course, but let's just get right into it. Starting with the Western Conference, then I'll go to the Eastern Western Conference. First up, we have Nashville Predators versus Colorado Avalanche. Honestly, I'm more of a Nashville fan than anything. I do think they have a really solid team. P.K. Subman, you guys already know I'm a fan of his. Mike Fisher returned after retiring after last season. He returned back to the team. I don't know if it's just the remainder of this season or if he's going to stick around after the season, but he thinks he's either going to get the cup and I back that up. I think they can make the cup this year. So it's going to be pretty interesting, but we know Colorado has Tyson Yost, which you know I'm a fan of him. But I'm going to say this matchup is going to get, I'm going to say Nashville 4-3. I think Colorado is going to give them a hell of a fight, but I think Nashville is going to win 4-3 for this matchup. Moving on, we have Winnipeg Jets versus Wilde. I don't know too much about Wilde. I don't know who's on the team. I'm not really a fan of them. I haven't really ever been a fan of them. And Winnipeg Jets, I do know some of the players. I do think there's some really good players on the team. So I'm going to say Winnipeg Jets. I'm going to say 4-1. I do apologize if you're a Wilde fan, but I just don't like them per se. That's my own opinion. I'm entitled to it, but I think Winnipeg Jets are going to get it 4-1. Moving on is, in my opinion, the most interesting matchup out of the entire first round. It is Vegas versus LA. Two teams I really think could make it pretty far, and they're going right off the bat, right against each other. It's going to be hell of a match, hell of a series. We know they both have good goalies. Flurry is on Vegas. Quick is on LA. So that right there is amazing. But I honestly don't know who's going to win. I'd be happy with either one. As long as they can go pretty far in this playoffs this year. So I'm going to say this series is going to go 4-3. But to who wins? I'm going to say to me, it doesn't matter. I'm going to be happy either way. 4-3, because I think it's going to be a hell of a series, hell of a fight, hell of a matchup. And that's my prediction. So we have the Ducks versus the Sharks. I'm not a fan of the Ducks. I do not like Perry. I do apologize if you're a fan. I'm just not. But I'm going to say Sharks are going to win, because I do like Thor, and I do like the team. I do like a lot of the players. I'm going to say Sharks are going to win 4-2. Do apologize if you're a Ducks fan, but I'm just not. I don't like them as much. The Sharks, I can back up. Sharks, I can get behind. So I'm going to say Sharks 4-2. Moving on to the Eastern Conference, we have the Lightning versus the Devils. Devils got the first round pick last year. So that's really interesting. They have Taylor Hall. But Lightning, I think Lightning is going to do a hell of a fight this year, Stampp Coast. I'm going to say Lightning 4-3 as well. That might be doing it really high for Devils, but I'm going to say they're going to give hell of a fight. So that's my prediction. Next up, we have Boston versus Toronto. I'm not a fan of Toronto, even though they have Matthews. I'm not a fan of Toronto. You guys know that. I've said that on this channel a few times. Boston, I can get behind. Boston is my pick. They're not my team, but I can get behind really good. So I'm going to say Boston. I'm going to say 4-1. And that's going to piss off Toronto fans. But honestly, that's also being generous because I could have gave them a zero. I don't think they're going to do too well this year. I don't think Toronto is going to do good at all, in my opinion. I am sorry for all the Toronto fans watching this because there's a lot of Toronto fans that watch some of my videos. I do get a lot of hate for that, but I can't get behind them. So I'm going to say 4-1 for Boston for this matchup. Next up, we have the Capitals versus Blue Jackets. Don't know anybody that's on Blue Jackets. I'm not a huge fan of Blue Jackets. Ovechkin is on Capitals. I'm going to say Ovechkin in the Capitals. I think the Capitals are going to win. I'm going to say 4-2 for this matchup. I do apologize. Like I said, I might be undergrading Blue Jackets a little bit here. I just don't know who's on the team. Don't know too much about them. I'm going to say Capitals 4-2. And then the Penguins. The next matchup is the Penguins who won the cup last year. Cindy Crosby, one of the most hated people in the league. I don't know why in my opinion, but they're going to be facing the Flyers, which are the underdogs. Honestly, if the Flyers fought anybody else and they were up against anybody else in the first roundup, I would say the Flyers could advance a little bit, but let's face it, the Penguins are going to go pretty far this year like they always do. It'd be surprising if the Flyers eliminate them, but I'm going to say the Penguins, my prediction is the Penguins are going to win 4-1. Even though the Flyers are getting 1, I think they're going to get them a hell of a fight, but I think they're only going to win 1. I'm sad myself. I really wish the Flyers could have advanced a little bit farther, but they're going against the Penguins this year, which is a really strong team. It sucks. It saddens me, but I want to be realistic in this video. So I think the Penguins are going to advance. If my prediction is right, in the second roundup, we're going to see the Capitals versus Penguins, which was a match-up of last year. It's going to be really interesting to see, but I'll save that for next video, where I talk about the second roundup. Once the first roundup is done, I'll go and talk about that. Honestly, this year's Stanley Cup first round is lit. As a Canadian, I wish there was more Canadian teams. I really wish that Vancouver got in so the Seddon twins could have one last playoff run before they retired, but hell of a retirement, by the way. As I'm recording this, I think it was last week. I wanted to make a video on it, just I couldn't at the time. So hell of a retirement, hell of a way to go out. I do want to say that, but comment down below who you think is going to win the playoffs this year. Comment down below the prediction for the first roundup who you think is going to win, and comment down below if I pissed you off because I said your team isn't going to make it. I do apologize. This is prediction video. Like it if you didn't like it. Go ahead, dislike it if you didn't. If you think I'm going to be dead wrong with my predictions, but stay tuned. Second round's coming soon. Peace.
