NHL 15 may be one of the crummier EA Sports NHL games to come out in recent years, but it was apparently good for something- for Kings fans, at least.

The game does an annual season simulation, based on the skill levels and historic precedent for players on every team. It uses this simulation to predict the Stanley Cup winners- and according to this year’s simulation, the Boston Bruins will fall to the Los Angeles Kings in six games.

Boston fans are most likely livid. This is a fan base with a “Stanley Cup or Nothing” mentality, and being told before the season has EVEN BEGUN that it’s about to be the Kings’ year (again, might I add) won’t go down well.

Of course, there are a couple of other things to notice about this simluation of the playoffs:

  • Apparently, the Toronto Maple Leafs are going to make the Stanley Cup playoffs?
  • So are the Vancouver Canucks, it seems.
  • Tyler Seguin can outplay Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf, because the simulation has the Dallas Stars sweeping the Anaheim Ducks.
  • Yet, despite the Stars being predicted to curb-stomp the Ducks, the Boston Bruins are projected to go to a game seven with the Leafs.
  • What?

Okay, EA Sports.
