 What's up everyone, Takedown here. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm really excited because we're going to be talking about round two of the Stanley Cup playoffs for 2022. This is going to be awesome. It's been amazing hockey so far and a lot of great matches in the first round have already taken place. Now, if you guys watched my last video, you guys could probably tell that I'm really excited because six out of the eight predictions that I made actually came true as far as the teams that I picked to advance, not necessarily the outcomes of their wins versus the other teams, but who I thought was going to advance. Six, I got right. Two, I got wrong, which was awesome. And in the first round, we've seen a lot of games come right down to the final game, game seven. And to me, that was epic to see. So a lot of my predictions could have also went the other way. So I'm really excited for round two. A lot of great matchups are going to take place. Let's get right into it here. Up first, we have the Hurricanes versus the Rangers. This is one here that I predicted both teams were going to advance, and they did. So I was really happy for that. For these ones here, honestly, I'd be okay with either team advancing. But personally, I do want to see the Rangers advance. I think they have a way better team. I do like a lot of their players. You guys know I've said this a lot on the channel. I'm a huge fan of Mika's advantage. I think he's going to do great. He's already done great in the playoffs. There's a lot of other players on the Rangers that I think are going to do great as well. So I'm really excited. But on the same hand, the Hurricanes have a lot of great players. I'm really excited to see this matchup happen. And I would still be okay with the Hurricanes advancing. But my prediction is going to be the Rangers. And I want to see some really exciting hockey. So I'm going to say this is going to come down to game seven. And I'm going to say the Rangers are going to win four, three to advance to the semifinals. I think that would be awesome to see. But again, I'm okay with the Hurricanes advancing. Next up, we have the Battle of Alberta. We have the Calgary Flames versus the Edmonton Oilers. Again, this is another two that I did predict would advance. And I'm really excited. But these are the only two Canadian teams left. And as you guys know, I always root for Canadian teams advancing in the playoffs. Now with these ones here again, I'd be okay with either one advancing, not necessarily because they're both Canadian teams, but because I absolutely love both of the teams. The Oilers with McDavid, I just want to see McDavid win the cup. I think that'd be awesome. And I think one day it will happen. But unfortunately, the Oilers always choke in the cup. Whenever they're going into the playoffs, they always seem to choke just like the Leafs do. And the Leafs have already been eliminated. So I hope the Oilers can make it a little bit farther because I would absolutely love to see them at least make it to the finals. But they also have Evander Cain, who I'm a huge fan of as well. He's had Hattrix and scored a lot in the playoffs this year. So I'm really excited to see what happens with them. On the other hand, the Flames have a huge team as well. So again, I'm okay with either team advancing, but I do have to make a prediction. I'm going to say the Oilers are going to advance. And I think it's going to be 4-2. I would like to see the Flames advance and make it to the finals as well. I think that'd be awesome or even hoist the cup. But I do want to say the Oilers for this one. Next up, we have the Avalanche, which I did predict would advance versus the Blues, who I actually predicted against. I thought that the Wild were going to do a lot better in the first round. Unfortunately, that did not happen. For this one here, the Avalanche in the first round completely dominated. And I say this every year that I want to see the Avalanche actually make it to the finals. So this would be awesome to see. And since there was so dominant in the last game, a clean sweep, 4-0 against the Wilds. I am, sorry, against the Predators. 4-0 for the Avalanche. I am going to have to predict that the Avalanche are going to do the same thing in the second round against the Blues. And it's going to be 4-0 for the Avalanche. That's my prediction right now. Nothing against the Blues, but I loved whenever they won the Stanley Cup a few years back. I was really hyped about that the first time I'm winning the Cup. However, I'm kind of over them. I don't really care about them. And that's one of the teams that I would like to see eliminated. All the other ones, other than one more, which I'm yet to mention, I do want to see eliminated any of the other ones. I'm okay with winning the Cup. But for this one here, Avalanche, I do want to see them advance clean sweep 4-0. And the final match up here is the Battle of Florida. This one here, we have the Florida Panthers versus the Tampa Bay Lightning. This is going to be some extreme hockey. We've seen them face each other in the playoffs before. But the last time we've seen them, the Lightning were most dominant in the regular season among all the other teams. This year, however, the Panthers were the most dominant. They won the President's Trophy. They were the most dominant team. And they were doing great things on the ice in the regular season. So far in the playoffs, they did beat out the Capitals, who are former Stanley Cup champions as well. But going against the Lightning, the Lightning won the past two years. So this is going to be some really extreme hockey. And hopefully the Panthers will advance. That's my prediction that they are going to advance. Because let's face it, they had a great season in this is the first year since 1996 that they advanced in a single round in the playoffs. And they made it past the first round. They weren't eliminated in the first round. So 25, 26 years later, they finally did it again, which is awesome. Again, they won the President's Trophy. They have a lot of great talented veterans as well. They have Joe Thornton, who has yet to win a Stanley Cup. So I'm rooting for him. They have Claude Giroux, who was the former captain of the Flyers, who I was a fan of. Now he is on Florida Panthers as well. So that's awesome. They have a lot of other great players and goalies as well. They have Sergei Bobrowski, who I'm a huge fan of. They have Anthony Dunclair, who I'm a fan of. So I've said time and time again throughout this year. And in the last video where I talked about round one, I want to see the Panthers win the Cump. So this year, I'm going to have to say Panthers are going to advance in this series for one, I feel like if they let the Lightning get too far ahead of them or even be ahead of them at all, I think that's going to be pretty much game over for the Panthers. Or if it ends up coming down to a tie and it goes to game seven, I think that might be it for the Panthers as well. I hope not. I do want to see the Panthers advance. So if they are going to advance, at least make it to the semifinals, if not the finals, and if not win the Cup, they have to beat the Lightning to do so. And I think if they're going to do that, they have to do an early on lead and it has to be for one for the Panthers. But this is again going to be some really extreme hockey, but I do want to see the Panthers advance over the Lightning. I'm completely over the Lightning. I do understand that they have a lot of great players and they won the Cup the last two years, but come on. I think they just have way too much money. And I think it has to go to somebody else. I'm tired of seeing them win the Cup and hoist the Cup. I want to see someone else win it. I want to see the Panthers win it. But honestly, I'd be okay with the Panthers. Avalanche, Oilers, Flames, Hurricanes, or Rangers winning the Cup. That's who I'd like to see. Blues kind of over them and the Lightning. I don't want to see them win. So these are my predictions for round two. Comment down below your predictions and hopefully some of these predictions will come true in the last video. In round one, six out of eight predictions that I made did come true. Only two were wrong. Hopefully I have good luck in this round as well. And hopefully we will see one of these teams win the Cup that I did predict we're going to advance in this round. That to me would be awesome. But again, leave your comments down below. I'll see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.
