The Hockey News and EA NHL 16 Sim the Season!

[Benched]

President's Trophy! Man that'd be sick.

Don't think any of us homers are even thinking that. I guess dare to dream.


Cool link, ty.

Arizona over Anaheim LOL. Ottawa in first...

There was hype for Dallas last year but I think they can pull it together and make a run for sure.

[Fire of the Phoenix]

Arizona in the playoffs over 5 central teams? They would re-name the Jack Adams trophy if that happened lol

EA does a yearly season sim (1000 sims), it should be out in a couple weeks.

This article is just a bunch of click bait

Does the Watson learning computer do sports predictions?

Would make a hell of a WCF.

That's what I'm thinking.

Who cares how many times they sim it. It's a video game, the results still won't matter. Kick back and just enjoy a silly article for once.

Well yeah, it takes 7 minutes to simulate a week!

I'm not sure if this is a good thing for the Flames, look at what EA's prediction using NHL 15 for the 14-15 season.

https://www.easports.com/nhl/news/20...-15-season-sim

SCF: Kings vs Bruins - Winner: Kings

Considering neither made the playoffs, I'm not sure if this is the best reference. But hey maybe NHL 16 is that much more accurate, who the hell knows

[Stay Golden]

Outstanding. If the Flames finished top in the West and go out in the Semi final that would be amazing. Do it up boys

The article was nothing more than off season click bait that suckered me in by mentioning video games and Stanley Cup predictions. Jared Clinton's position at THN does not make his simulation results any more relevant than the average person's results simming a season.

Now if someone had run the simulation 1000 times I would be interested in reading about that.

The Canadian Press and EA didn't follow your standards, either.

"Funny" or "Oiler" ?
