EA Sports’ NHL 14 has predicted that the Boston Bruins will win the Stanley Cup this year! Since my Coyotes were knocked out already, I’m not too sad about it either. Plus they are obvious choices since they have been a powerhouse the past month or so!

What exactly happens?

From EA ” The EA SPORTS™ NHL® 14 Stanley Cup® Playoffs simulation predicts that the Boston Bruins will return to the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year and prevail as Stanley Cup Champions after defeating the San Jose Sharks in six games. This will mark the first Stanley Cup win for veteran Jarome Iginla, whose last appearance in the Stanley Cup Final was a decade ago with the Calgary Flames. Tuukka Rask, finishing the Playoffs with an outstanding 1.56 GAA, .948 SV% and four shutouts, will win the Conn Smythe Trophy.”

You kind of lose me with the San Jose Sharks making it that far though. Yeah, while I’m a Coyotes fan I can’t help, but to cheer on Teemu Selanne and the Ducks!



Yet unlike other sims, the NHL simulation also made some other key interesting predictions.





– In the first round, goalies Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens and Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers will lead their teams to 4-0 game sweeps.

– In the second round, the Chicago Blackhawks’ dreams of a Stanley Cup Championship repeat will come to an end with a heartbreaking Game 7 loss to the young and talented Colorado Avalanche.

– In the Eastern Conference Final, the Bruins and Rangers will once again go head-to-head. The series will go seven games, where Patrice Bergeron will once again be clutch for the Bruins, scoring five minutes into OT.

Hawks outed by the Avalanche? I’m game! What do you think about the predictions? Will you be watching closely to see how on target the game is?
