Winnipeg Jets EASports 2018 Stanley Cup Champs

[Bedards Dad]

They've been pretty accurate for predicting the SCF teams, but not in recent years. See the bolded for the correct predictions.

In 2010, they predicted a SCF of CHI-PIT and that Chicago would win it, Chicago went on to win the Cup against Philly.
In 2011, they predicted a SCF of VAN-BOS and the VAN would win the Cup, Boston won it in game 7 (impressive because they made this prediction at the beginning of the season in 2010).
In 2012, they predicted a SCF of LA-NYR and that LA would win it. LA won it against NJ.
In 2013, they predicted a SCF of CHI-NYR and that NYR would win it, Chicago won it against Boston.
In 2014, they predicted a SCF of SJ-BOS and that BOS would win it; LA ended up beating NYR.
In 2015, they predicted a SCF of ANA-NYR and that ANA would win it; CHI ended up beating TB.
In 2016, they predicted a SCF of SJ-WAS and that WAS would win it; PIT ended up beating SJ.
In 2017, they predicted a SCF of NAS-MON and that NAS would win it; PIT ended up beating NAS.

Not bad for a league that has so much parity. The Montreal SCF appearance is a bit of a head scratcher though.

Looks like they have been right twice. 2010 and 2012

 

[Nosferatu]

But how many of Laines goals came on even strenght?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

yeah just like htis

 

[Butch 19]

oh GAWD! now we all have to sit through even more Jets **** until they are out of the playoffs.

Jets: please get eliminated - quick!! So this thread can go away.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Hmmm not a fan of this stuff, and was about to point out how inaccurate an ea prediction would be, but they have the leafs losing round 1 so there is some truth to this thing.

 

[Bizz]

oh man I remember the 2009 EA Sports Cup Champion San Jose Sharks.

 

[rynryn]

congratulations.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Lighten up people, it's all in good fun.

 

[Damisoph]

Ah, Jeff O'Neill's fantasy draft strategy makes sense now.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Wasn't 2013 CHI-PIT in the SCF?

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Some of the players don't have beards, this is clearly fake.

Except for Laine, he's got his goat beard. Buff, Wheeler and Helle, too. They'll win the cup this year.

 

[Cor]

Laine is totally better than Matthews. Did you see him in that EA NHL simulation?

 

[DavidKING]

We can cross out the jets now,they won't win it....

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Nice, this fees up 2 months for me to do other things!

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

That's errm....cute??

 

[M2Beezy]

So it's settled then?

No its not real its just a simulation

 

[mcpw]

No its not real its just a simulation

Are you sure?

 

[irunthepeg]

No its not real its just a simulation

What? No, I'm pretty sure in the NHL rulebook, this decides the Cup winner. Look it up.

 

[SotasicA]

It appears EA runs the simulation at the beginning of the season as well as at the end. So some of the past predictions I posted above could have been either ones.

For example, they predicated Tampa Bay to win the Cup at the beginning of the 2017-2018 season:
Lightning win Cup in EA Sports NHL 18 season simulation

Against the Oilers LOL

 

[Rorschach]

I heard fanbase can change the outcome if they buy more lootboxes for RL $$.

 

[Inglewood JACKets]

I'm your huckleberry.

Why you're no daisy... you're no daisy at all.

 

[McNurse]

Wasn't 2013 CHI-PIT in the SCF?

No Chicago-Boston

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

No Chicago-Boston

I mean, the EA simulation.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Our unsung hero Mathieu Perreault got injured in the first real game so that went off rails really fast.

 

[Daximus]

I did a sim last night and the final was LA vs Pittsburgh with LA sweeping Pittsburgh. Along with two major 5+ goal blowouts in that sweep. I also didn't see Malkin on the roster for the final two games which leads me to believe he was injured in game 2.
