Get ready for the most grueling post-season in sports with our full 2026 NHL Playoff Preview. In Fantasy Hockey Pucks Episode 109, we debate the ethics of bandwagoning before diving into a deep analysis of every first-round matchup, from the domination of the Avalanche over the Kings to the "real ECF" showdown between the Lightning and Canadiens. We break down the betting favorites, identify "Hidden Heroes" like Logan Stankoven and Jakub Dobes who could swing a series, and share essential strategies for transitioning your fantasy hockey mindset from the regular season to a playoff bracket. Top it all off with our boldest hot takes—including a potential 8-0 run for the Canes—to get you fully prepared for when we drop the puck on the road to the Cup.
