1. Questo video mi ha fatto ripensare alle mie priorità nella vita. Più risate, più gatti💚

2. My dog heard the sounds of this video and came over to see if I was okay. Now we watch it together💝

3. The series no one is talking about lol

4. Vegas is too good, the Wild are too injured to beat them. If the Wilds stars, pun intended, were not coming off major injuries, I would pick them. Next year they will have so much cap room for FA they could build a wagon.

5. All I’m going to say Bill should have put Ek and Kirill on LTIR and go after a star at the deadline. Even if the Wild get past Vegas. Its either Avs or Stars who loaded up at the deadline (yes I have blues over jets)

6. Of course Minnesota isn't soft. They have a piece of wood that says so.

7. Vegas in 5

8. VGK Sweep.

9. "Kaprizov goes down… and a couple other guys"

   Those guys include their 1C and a top 2 Defender. Not to mention several middle 6 forwards and their other three top 4 defenseman at different times.

   The wild didn't play with a healthy top 4 defense ALL SEASON until March.

   They played one game all season with a fully healthy roster… Game 82

10. If the 2003 Minnesota Wild can make it to the Conference Finals on the back of Andrew Brunette, the 2025 Minnesota Wild can win a playoff series against Vegas.

    Yes, I'm from Minnesota. Don't judge me, this is our curse.

11. As a lifelong MN hockey fan that grew up watching Modano and the North Stars…

    I know how this goes…

12. Just waiting for Kings/Oilers

13. If Brodin, Ek, and Kaprizov don't get hurt, Wild in 7. If they do get hurt, Vegas in 6

14. Vegas in 4.

15. Vegas in 4. Get out the 🧹🧹🧹

16. Vegas in 5.

17. Wild in 7. And you guys didn't mention that Buium is going to play in the playoffs. Thats going to be huge. And the X factor Fleury

18. Vegas in 5

19. The problem for the Wild is there are so many questions that have to be answered and if the answers aren’t all a resounding yes, then they likely aren’t winning.
    1) Are Kaprizov and Eriksson Ek healthy?
    2) Can Gus out duel Hill?
    3) Can the Wild take advantage of the powerplay?
    4) Will Zeev Buium be apart of that advantage?
    5) Will Matt Boldy show up?

20. VGK is bet lined up for a cup run; get Minny out quick and get rest while LA and EDM beat each other up for 7.

21. i would love to see steve's bracket to go 0 for 8

22. Vegas fans already want Sammy gone🤣

23. i think you're wrong with most people picking vegas, could be wrong but i see everywhere people picking the wild my guess its one or two things, vegas haters and wild fans

24. Sharks in 3

25. I mean I feel slightly smug as in my preseasons I had the Wild to make the playoffs when very few had them making it. But injuries have been catastrophic for the Wild who could have done what the Caps did in the East had they stayed fit… but they didn't and as much as I don't like Vegas… I have VGK in 5.

26. My hot take of the playoffs is that the winner of this series is going ALL the way, and honestly I’m leaning more towards Minnesota doing it. Finally a healthy roster and also injecting a high end defensive prospect? I think they’re insanely slept on.

27. logic says Wild in 5 or 6

28. Hey SDP, if you could start putting the rest of these playoff previews out faster so that by the time I finish watching one the next one is available to start watching? That'd be greaaaat.

29. Wild (haha) stat dropped during the ducks game; the Wild made the playoffs more than any other team in the west over the last 13 seasons (11 out of 13). And we haven't made it out of the second round since Myspace launched. Absolute WC2 merchants.

30. I would say Vegas in six, but the Wild are maybe the most intriguing team in the first round with everyone supposedly "healthy."
