EA predicts that the Sharks will win the Stanley Cup and that the Jackets will suck ass

More On: NHL 08
EA has done their annual prognostication for the upcoming NHL season and has determined through pseudo-scientific logic (i.e. simming a bunch of seasons with NHL 08) that the San Jose Sharks will win it all this year.  Looking at the rest of the data it looks like we are in for a bit of a rough season here in Columbus as they have the Blue Jackets bringing up the rear in the Western conference (c'mon, the Jackets are at least better than the Coyotes this year).  I guess we'll have to see how things pan out but it looks like this may have been the wrong year to get season tickets.
