How Fucking Weird Is This???

Here is an article that talks about how an EA Sports simulation picked the Boston Bruins to win the Stanley Cup in 2009. Now we all now that didn't happen, and the Pens won the Cup that year, but what is odd is that the simulation said that the Bruins would beat the Blackhawks for the Cup.

Pretty freaky that the two teams the simulation picked to be in the 2009 Final, ended up being the Cup winners in 2010 and 2011.

Boston-based hockey fans will be wicked psyched to learn that their own Boston Bruins will win this year's Stanley Cup, according to EA Sports' simulation of the 2009 NHL playoffs.

Electronic Arts has run the numbers in NHL 09, calling the Bruins to win the cup in six games, defeating the Chicago Blackhawks for their first Stanley Cup win in 37 years. Following the win, Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara will be presented with the Stanley Cup by an unidentified, vacant automaton while staring blankly into space, as hammered college students overturn cars in Kenmore Square. Should be a wicked pissa.

EA Sports Bets Boston Bruins Will Win Stanley Cup

I wonder who they picked for the 2010 final........

I think I need to start paying more attention to the EA Sports simulations.

In 2010, the simulation picked the Blackhawks to beat the Pens for the Cup, and for this year, the simulation said that the Nucks would beat the Bruins for the Cup.

I think my mind has just been blown.

The wait in Chicago is over as Hawks take Cup - 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs: Conference Quarterfinals

EA SPORTS picks Canucks-Bruins in Final - 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs - Conference Finals

I wonder if I can get an advanced copy of what teams the simulation is picking to make the Final in 2012?

The 2020 simulation has the Mexico City Maniacs topping the El Salvador Guerilla Rebels in Gary Bettman's wet dream....

Yeah, but they really messed up on 2008's prediction.
