Raise your hand if you had the Blues vs. the Bruins going seven games in the Stanley Cup Final when the NHL playoffs started.
Apparently, the simulation we did in Electronic Arts’ NHL 19 back in April did.
That’s right, a video game predicted this unlikely pairing for the championship. Not only that, it also predicted all four top seeds getting knocked out in the first round by wild-card teams. Of the 14 series prior to the finals, 12 were correct — the Vegas Golden Knights giving up a 3-0 lead to lose in overtime to the Sharks in Game 7 ruined our perfect bracket.
