Panthers in 6.
Let’s go panthers!
Panthers in 5.
Bro, I've never said this nor have I ever supported a creator before, but you should be doing this for a living. You're too good to be wasting time at a regular job. Set up a patreon, take my money, and ascend to some well deserved glory.
Your videos suck
Giving Panthers the edge, but the true MVP of this season is Hockey Psychology. Fantastic videos, I share with everyone I know who loves the game.
Same. Not only the best hockey channel, one of the absolute BEST youtube channels. I wish I had eight thumbs 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
True
Facts...
Facts.
I am an Oilers fan but Panthers are better on paper.
But again. ITS HOCKEY! An upset is DUE to happen in these playoffs! The better teams lose, the worse teams also lose.
The most talented teams, usually dont win the cup. Effort overcomes talent in the NHL
Same. These videos single-handedly got me interested in hockey as a soccer guy
At this point I’m just waiting for these videos to come out
I can tell
Yep
this is absolutely my favorite bite size hockey breakdown content channel. What a treat it is getting consistent videos throughout these playoffs.
For me, it's near madness at what level Draisaitl can operate, without being in any storyline at all. Not in any hockey RUclipsrs, not on NHL homepage - it's like he is no threat. But since that is where he thrives, we will see magic from the German Gretzky
🤫
Facts. And FLA is going to get Bouche Bombed.
Should’ve done a little segment on him as well. Best player in the world from a stationary position.
German Gretzky aka the Deutschland Dangler. 😆
@@hockeypsychology One of the best passers in the league, tough as nails can play through a lot of pain, great vision, hard to knock off the puck - WHILE MOVING - One of the best clutch players in the playoffs. Ya defintely need to do a segement! Because as good as forsling is and barkov..they are not McDrai. McDavid has sent Tkachuk packing, Oilers are not small. Maurice and Chukker cant flee to another Conference to get away from McDavid. No hiding! :)
Oilers power play has been operating at 37.3%, & penalty kill is at 93.9% respectively
Got my numbers mixed up there… although that’s what it feels like for how frequently this PP scored lmao
@@hockeypsychology my heart stopped when you said 93 percent on the pp
@@RBJ_13 tbh pp-numbers could be higher on this point. Versus Vegas, there where 1 goal 4s and 1 goal 3s after pp experied. In addition that edmonton don't played 2 powerplays in the 6-1 win, cause game was already over and they played 3rd and 4th line in own zone instead.
@@PK-rq6im*canucks
Yeah that was a huge red flag cus any analytical hockey follower will know you'll almost never have a PP% higher than 40-50ish, which would already be insane over a large span of games. In one series? For sure cus they were at 100% against LAK, but that's just 5 games.
If he really followed the WCF series, he'd know the Dallas PK was just as insanely good for Games 1-4. Flood gates didn't open til games 5 and 6 but it was only 2 PPG/game IIRC. Nothing crazy like the Bolts or Caps putting in 4-6 a game back in the day. Dallas PK was still really good but McJesus just raised it to another level.
Makes me wonder how deeply he analyzes or if like 96% of the content is from book and other sources, cus it's hard to think a flub like that is an honest mixup. Also his response seems kinda defensive...but either he and team make good vids so still respect for that.
For like a whole week of coverage, they kept talking about how someone has finally shutdown EDM PP, idk how you'd miss that for 4 games straight lol
Never been a huge hockey fan but started watching your channel this year and it's the only way I know what's going on in games, and games have gotten so much more fun to watch. appreciate your channel!
As a Panthers fan, this series is the most scared I've been all playoffs. I believe that the Panthers will come out on top, but it'll be an incredible seven games to get there. Can't wait for the puck to drop!
Im oddly most confident in this matchup as a Panthers fan. Which kindamakes me nervous
The Panthers took down the all world Rangers who are stacked everywhere in their 4 lines and obviously in goal where they have the best goalie in the world on their team… if you can beat the Rangers you can beat the Oilers
@@gmanlive5764yeah but being able to beat a team and beating a team is 2 different stories. On paper, Florida should win, but Dallas and Vancouver were supposed to win on paper too. You never know in the playoffs
Cats gotta stay disciplined, oil needs to be the stalwart. Gonna be a hell of a series! Love from a life long Avs fan ❤
@@briangoat-b6bI was pretty confident Dallas would win without a doubt… but……
I'm just happy both teams are coming in with equal days rest. I'm old enough to remember when playoff games were back to back with a single travel day in between. Momentum was important. I still feel the Panthers' 10 day break before the Finals hurt them last year. I'm looking forward to some great highlights this year.
It wasn’t so much the break that hurt as much as it was everyone was playing on broken bones 💀
I would say it was a little bit of both. I'm sure we've all been hurt before. Maybe not to that level, but enough. I know from playing and working hurt myself, the more often I can go the less it bothers me. Makes it easier to fight through the pain. But sitting for a long weekend, or having extended time off just made that pain set in a lot more and made it a lot tougher to deal with and push through. I'm willing to bet that played a big part in it last year also. Plus Tkachuk getting his sternum broken was like the final blow of sorts. He doesn't have that injury, he buries that shot to tie game 4, and who knows what happens in OT. And obviously, if they pull a win there, who knows what happens with a 2-2 series.
@@carp41181 I keep forgetting just how banged up they were. Thanks for your insight.
@@hurricanescentral944 Yeah... There was that too... Hockey was really brutal in the 1960s and 1970s. I may have gotten too used to the mystique of players with broken bones scoring Stanley Cup winning goals.
I'm kicking myself for not paying attention to your subscriber numbers when I first stumbled upon you (pre-playoffs, but near end-of-season). You consistently bring us quality videos every upload. So glad I subscribed.
Oilers in 7, tbh I just want this series to go 7, these teams playing 7 games against each other is going to be pure cinema
Cats in 5 lil bro. Panthers are way too good 5v5 on all lines, I swear Edmonton were just lucky Skinner stepped up for once instead of being swiss cheese. Which he will be in this series
@@janzkeesince game 6 vs vancouver stu has had a 1.81 GAA and a .920 SV%
@@janzkeeStars fans said almost the exact thing you just said and here we are
@@janzkee lol Panthers has no chance winning against an almost full Canadian roster (19 players).
@@Traumatreelet's take Drai and Ekholm out and they're done!
I'm not a huge fan of either team, but I am excited for this series if only because we won't have to watch Dallas bore us to tears with their sleep-inducing style of play. Both the Panthers and Oilers are fun teams to watch, and I really like the Panthers radio announcer, Goldie, so at least this will be an entertaining series..
Top tier radio guys on both squads.
Goldie is actually their TV guy. I'm not sure who the radio guy is, but he's good too!
It's hard to beat Jack Michaels from Sportsnet. ❤
Thanks for the well though out videos and clean edits! Love watching you’re videos. It seems like you have a great understanding of all teams and the nhl in general. Keep at it 🤙
I appreciate your content even as a hockey fan you really break down everything and make it really easy to understand❤
I think the unseen metric in this is how much the fear of the penalty slows Florida's aggression. If the play scared to take a penalty Edmonton will capitalize on the room they give, but if they play their usual aggressive way, a few penalty's could cost everything.
This 100%. This is going to be an amazing series regardless however! I cannot wait!
Great analysis as usual. For me, it’ll come down to goaltender and there’s no comparing Skinner with Officer Bob.
Lucky me, 2 of my 4 favorite teams are playing for the cup. The Oilers were my first team I watched when I got into hockey, because of Gretzky. And, the Panthers had the Cincinnati Cyclones as a minor league affiliate. (I’m from the Cincinnati area).
This series is going to be absolute cinema
Been a lifelong Panthers fan since the inception of the franchise. Been a long 30 years, this team is special. Panthers in 6!!!!
As a Oilers fan myself I gave you a thumbs up & say congratulations for again making it to the dance but I won't wish your team good luck yet I'll say may the best team win.
Avs fan here just came to say I can't wait! May the best team win!
Oilers in 3!
Oilers will need something more than a perfect powerplay or McJesus and Draisaitl a lot more than that.. Panthers looking deadlier than last year and this is coming from a long time Caps fan, sorry Oilers fans, I think it's Panthers year
@@Brownboy1313 you clearly don’t know the backstory behind throwing the rats on the ice. You can look it up and learn something.
I've said this since January, I picked, and I'm sticking with my pick. The Florida Panthers will be the Stanley Cup champions!
Thanks for this content. I am a novice in hockey and this channel has really help me understand the strategy of hockey that I do not get from any other channel.
Best breakdown analysis available. Love these vids.
Way to keep giving props to the main content guy in Jack Han, respect that.
Also like the bit about the hockey psychologist, I didn't know that but really interesting. Reminds me of Mack and having to do the same to overcome his prior playoff losses.
Rest was the usual from the book but I don't mind as I'm sure there's lots of new fans. Great vid, keep it up bud!
You never mentioned the coaching. Somewhere in the series the adjustments made (or not made) to the other team will be important.
Great videos!
So interesting to watch this 4 games into the final. Great video as per usual.
As a relative newcomer to this sport, this channel has been 🔥🔥🔥. Thank you sir 🫡
I really thought Dallas would win with their depth. But the Oilers have proven so adaptable against all of their opponents, my money is on them to win it all. Panthers have just played their same game the entire playoffs so far, just more aggressive or not depending on the team. Also fun fact, these are the most northern and southern teams in the league
As a rangers fan I am rooting for Edmonton
Panthers are the closes professional team and I begin rooting for them back in 2019/2020 season . I’m still learning hockey of course but these documentaries help highlight the squad and help me better understand the sport. Keep up the good work. Leggo Panthers
Let’s go Oilers! It is going to be a tough series, but I believe the Oilers will take it.
I always look forward do your videos!
You rock, dude! Great analysis, as always. This is going to be so freaking fun, I can't wait.
This analysis is top notch. Way better and clearer than the crap on sportsnet or TSN.
All they talk about is basketball 24/7. Stateside TV. OMFG the basketball talk. Uggggg.
what a great video- a lot of people just talk talk talk… you guys teach teach teach🙏🏻
I’ve been waiting for this video, now I just need the puck to drop on Saturday!
Let's go! I've been waiting a long time for this
Idk jack about hockey and I still love these detailed breakdowns
I don't know where your from, but easy way to enjoy and learn the sport would be to go to a good sports pub. I myself am Canadian. I've met a few people who didn't know anything of follow the sport. I took the time to explain and answer some questions. come playoff time Everyone is cheering and rooting along with games, being able to bring another person into the flock is always welcome. this is my opinion and I am Canadian. I grew up with this sport so it might not be the same for where you are at. Worst case. Ask me anything I myself will answer or many others can help. More fans More fun end of day. Oh and it wouldn't be polite as a Canadian if I didn't fit a sorry in here so, sorry I made you read this long post.
If Bennett plays like Bennett and the refs don't swallow their whistles, he'll be Edmonton's MVP.
HYPE
I'm an Avs fan and can't pick. This is gonna be one hell of a finals!
My man hockey psychology, used your videos to determine my bracket this year. About to earn some benjamins if the cats pull through
Love Ur content dude ❤️🔥
Oilers redemption story is too hard to ignore. Oilers in 6
I mean. That's what they said about Florida last year going into the finals
Ours is stronger. We lost last year.
We just heard all about the Rangers being the chosen ones and they couldnt beat us in regulation once lol
@@briangoat-b6byeah but they won the pres trophy so they’re not allowed to win the cup.
Yeah a team that has 5 cups needs redemption 🤣
Great analysis - looking forward to this one for sure!
You touched on it a bit but it cant be stressed enough how much adaptability the Oilers have had these playoffs. Every time it seemed like the other team has a system to beat the Oilers theyve turned it around and won all while completely shutting down the opposing teams process. All Ive heard this week is how the Panthers just need to keep doing what theyre doing, if thats the case the Oilers might come out of the Away Games with 2 wins.
Huh? When they say that about the Panthers, it doesn't mean that the Panthers don't make adjustments. They have made adjustments throughout the playoffs. Weird way of saying that you just hope Edm wins their road games.
I didn't realize the Panthers are the strong favorite to win, I thought all the odds had the Panthers as slight favorites to win.
It depends on where you look. It seems fairly even across the board to me. I've seen places where Florida is heavily favored, and I've seen places that has the Oilers clearly favored.
I’ve only seen the Panthers favoured, but by a slim margin. Haven’t seen the Oilers favoured anywhere.
I guess you could look at it as, if the Panthers are slightly favored but by nearly all predictions, then it's a "strong prediction" due to ratio even though the margin is small.
@@Rockmonanov there have been. Because of their firepower and the opinion that they adjusted to Dallas's game plan. Which one could say it's similar to Florida's. Plus I've seen a ton said about the Oilers depth being better than Florida's also. When I come across it again, I'll reference it here.
Go Cats Go!!!! Another great video Hockey Psychology!
There’s a lot of narrative and karmic Justice in the oilers facing none others than the panthers. The only team that would’ve been more poetic from the east is the Canes (for 06 reasons).
- Florida is the team that got Tippett fired in 2022 when they dismantled the Oil 5-0, leading to the Woody era that would then dismantle the Tkachuk Flames allowing for Florida to go from a good team to a superpower. These two teams having shaped each other in very meaningful ways.
Both saw a lacklustre finish against Vegas last year and wanna be the ones to overcome it.
This is great it explains this sport well to a nuetral fan
Gs
If any team can possibly expose Florida, it’s the Oilers.
This is going to be the best Stanley cup final in 34 yrs!
Oilers in 6
the xfactor is Knoblauch v Maurice imo, how well they adapt to each other's systems will be interesting
Wait, I’m confused. I thought the leafs cup parade was still on?
Postponed. Delayed.
I want both teams to win. This is one of the most tough Stanley Cup finals in a while. Whoever wins is amazing and had an awesome season and run.
Vancouver Orca fan here. I don't actually mind either team, both got things I like and I don't like. If I have to choose, I'd cheer for Oilers a bit more because, regardless of my personal feelings about Oilers team or McDavid, the latter has endured enough for the ultimate glory. And also Panthers' AGM being Greg Campbell, and his dad Collin Campbell being NHL's Vice President seems like a bit of a conflict of interest to me.
@LRon-Hoyabembe Yep, and would also be nice to see Forsling with the cup. That's why I said I'm not hugely against either team winning. Just the nepotism of the Campbells, which no one seems to talk about, kinda rubs me the wrong way.
I'll be curious to see if Florida has twice as many PPs as the Oilers. It's going to come down to discipline with these two teams.
The X-Factor has to be the Panthers' 3rd line. On paper it has a massive advantage over Edmonton's 3rd line.
Also, let it be known that while the Oilers' PK has been insane, Panthers PK is not far off while facing significantly better Power Plays (Tampa and New York were 1st and 3rd respectively)
No chance either of those teams have a better PP in the second half of the season. Diluted stats from Oiler's start
You've gotta be number one hockey RUclips channel rn
Amazing video over again!
I have become an oliers fan over the course of the playoffs.
I will be very happy when Mcdavid finally raises the cup. Nevertheless, Panthers look like a more competent team, and they fully deserved in the finals.
Good luck to both teams and let this be a for show
Hard to say it's like putting an unstoppable force against an unmoveable object I see most of these games Goin double or even triple OT.
Florida hasnt faced an offensive team like Edm yet, and they are prone to penalties because of their physical play. Edm has advantage at 5v5 play as well. Edm winning this series.
I’d love to see Florida pull it in 6 or 7!!!
I think the main difference between Rangers and Oilers is the fact that the top players on the oilers have actually shown up these playoffs
The Rangers top players were putting up numbers until they faced Florida too. Zibenajad, Panarin and Trocheck were among the postseason leaders until the ECF.
In addition to that, the Rangers also had fantastic special teams coming into the ECF and the Panthers made them look pedestrian there as well.
Gotta give credit to the Panthers defensive structure. They make it incredibly difficult to get anything established and can shut down opposing teams best players. There’s a reason they’re in the finals.
@@connorbrechbill6516and they did it to Boston and Tampa (best or second best reg reason pp?).
@@TheSalPic Tampa had the best regular season power play this year.
@@connorbrechbill6516 thanks for the assist. But it just goes to prove the point that these two teams seem to be really good at rising to the occasion against their opponent and adapting when necessary. This is going to be such a fun series and as a Cats fan obviously I want it to go a certain way, but it’s just gonna be some awesome hockey
Oilers just playing the under dog with the best players in the league and it’s hilarious. We beat the team that was projected to win it all in 6 games and whose team beat both cup champs back to back and still get no respect. It could go either way, oilers in 7
Panthers aren’t getting much respect either. Seeing a lot of comments from Oilers fans saying that this will be an easy series for them and that the Panthers won’t be able to hang with them at all.
Both teams are excellent. McDavid and Draisaitl are monsters and the Oilers have great offensive depth and great special teams. The Panthers are an incredibly deep team as well and loaded with excellent two way forwards. It’s going to be a war.
I agree with both of ya’ll. I have been an oilers fan for 26 years(since I was 2). I have oilers in 6, but it will be a brutal war as both teams have chips on their shoulders from previous playoffs. X-factor’s will be Kane getting in tkachuks head and skinner maintaining his play
As a leaf fan, (don’t as😊k) I live in Alberta and would like to see a local team win. I don’t predict so I will wait and see. I do however look back and see clearly that Vancouver and Dallas got out coached more than they got outplayed IMHO.
Oilers all day in 6 :)
Can Barkov handle shutting down Leon? He’s the one the Panthers should be worried about.
Panthers all the way in 6. But would love to see 5 since I might go to it.
i love this guys videos, especially compared to other youtubers who just make bs videos nobody cares abt in between rounds
Love a good comeback. LET’S GO OILERS!
Oilers should be here after all those years of number 1 picks. Lets not blow it plz
Loyal To The Oil 🛢 #LetsGoOilers
Prepare to see TRUE greatness. Expect to be humbled, in my humble opinion.
Hey, can I ask if Jack Han has any relation to this channel? I like to read some of his Hockey Tactics articles when I come across them, and yesterday he broke down how either team can expose the other one, and I noticed a lot of similarities between this video and his article “2024 Stanley Cup Final Preview (2)” including a word for word passage on what makes Forsling an effective defender. Definitely not accusing anything, for all I know, you are Jack 😂 just curious on what that dynamic is.
I hope this series goes 7... Gut feeling is florida pulls it out though.
"..So when you guys do win - and you will win a Stanley Cup.." - Greztky to McDavid, April 2020
Love these videos! Oil in 6
Gotta root for the Panthers on this one
Great work
My body is ready. Going to the game 1 watch party inside Roger's Place tomorrow!!!
Panthers in 6!
Excellent
as a long term fan going back to the original 6 teams ... there's something 'unholy' when the cup finals are in florida in june !!
And yet for the fifth year in a row....
great dive brother oilers in 6
This is the most excited I've been for a SCF in YEARS. I'm rooting for Florida, but Edmonton could be a sleeper agent as they have before, so honestly, I'm not saying a word yet. This is so evenly matched it hurts.
Panthers in 5 . Panthers have the better goalie and I think that's going to be a big factor in the series . Panthers are also in the final for the 2nd straight year and are determined to win this year as has been demonstrated by their play so far in these playoffs .
I tried to watch this at school
Oilers, and Drai is going to go full beast mode like he did in that calgary series in 22
I just can't see this Panthers team putting many pucks past Skinner. That guy has evolved to a whole new level and they ain't ready
He hasn't evolved, just out of the slump and playing slightly above average. Time will tell if he slips again.
@hockeypsychology can you please make merch??? I want a t-shirt with your logo. You are phenomenal
I love you hockey psychology
I live the system stuff. I inlybllayed pick up with friends So i was never shown i do have a quick question. How hard is it for a team to switch a system? I assume all players know all systems? Of you are being beat can u switch a system mid game for ine that would work better ve the opponent? Any help would be great and go easy As I said I was never shown this stuff 😅
I don't care about either team but I hope this goes seven games just so you can keep making these videos
As much as i would love to see 7 games of pure badass hockey in the final, i would love even more if the oilers can win it in 6 games on home ice, Rogers place will erupt like it never has before
Let’s go oilers! But honestly I pick an east team every year and was rooting for Florida from the start. I’m just so fucking excited for both teams to give it their all
Oilers in 6 games! Because I’m Canadian
Panthers take it in 5-6 games (probably). Note that I said 'probably,' which means none will sweep the other, it won't be a one-sided fight guaranteed.
Go Oilers 🇨🇦 🏒🥅
Heart is saying the oliers in 7 because I want carnage next season in Calgary. But the revenge tour is complete with Rats lifing the cup in 5 games
lets go oilers!
I think one of the biggest X factors in this series is the Draisaitl line, assuming he is separated from Mcdavid. If Mcdavid is matched up against the Forsling Ekblad pair then I think Draisaitl’s line needs to FEAST. Montour/Mikkola is a good pair but if you wanna win a Cup you gotta win that matchup.
I say Oilers in six. Their special teams are just absolutely balistic, and McDavid's time has come. Time to bring the cup back to Edmonton, Baby!
You meant to say 37% not 97% for the power play you had me going like ain’t no way
37% is still crazy
