Over the last five years, EA Sports’ Playoff Simulation has not correctly picked a Stanley Cup champion, though it did pick the Capitals to win it all two years before they actually did so.
Last 5 simulation champs
2019 – Tampa Bay
2018 – Winnipeg
2017 – Nashville
2016 – Washington
2015 – Anaheim
Check out these cursed images.
