admin — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 16:24:12 +0000

Chicago Blackhawks ended their 49 year Cup drought by capturing their first Stanley Cup since 1961 and the fourth in Blackhawks franchise history when Patrick Kane scored the dramatic Over Time winning goal in a game six win over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Kane scored the dramatic winning goal at 4:06 mark of the first over time. The glory moment was sweet redemption for the 21 year old American winger after losing the Olympic final game to Canada earlier in February. Kane’s goal, was similar to that of Sidney Crosby’s winning shot for Team Canada. Jonathan Toews was the 2010 Conn Smythe winner.

EA sports predicts that the Chicago Blackhawks will win the 2010 Stanley Cup this year.

“The Chicago Blackhawks will win the Stanley Cup for the first time since the 1960-61 season, according to the official EA SPORTS simulation of the 2010 NHL playoffs on the award-winning NHL 10 videogame. The Blackhawks defeated the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins in a seven game series to end a 49 year Stanley Cup drought.

The NHL 10 computerized simulation is conducted using artificial intelligence that uses real-life data from each team, such as player ratings and line combinations, and includes variances such as injuries and hot streaks to predict a realistic outcome of each game and series.”
