NHL11 Simulation is good enough to bet off of.

Predictions are a funny thing, and getting them right from the start of
the postseason is tricky enough. EA SPORTS has managed to do a pretty
decent job with its EA SPORTS NHL '11 Simulation Engine, correctly
predicting all but one of the 14 postseason series so far in the Stanley
Cup playoffs.



But with the Final comes added pressure. EA SPORTS' reputation doesn't
simply have two months of prognostications at stake when Boston and
Vancouver drop the puck Wednesday night for the 2011 Stanley Cup Final.



There's a whole season of work on the line.



That's because EA SPORTS' simulations didn't just pick Vancouver and
Boston to meet for this season's championship in April, this matchup was
pegged way back in October.

Although some gameplay aspects might seem off, or unrealistic, the
simulation engine is anything but. 14 out of 15 correct. With the Cup
Finals predicted in October. I might need to find a bookie for next
season.




Anyone wanna make a wager for the finals?! :)

I have not spent the time to read the article yet, but I am betting that they did not pick the Lightning over the Caps? Am I right? LOL

The early season simulation didn't get a few playoff spots right (Canes didn't make the playoffs by 1 game, booo).

It predicted Caps>Lightning but still Bruins>Caps.
