Playoff Live Stream Sim: Game 1 – Canucks vs Oilers 7pm MT

4 years ago

Yesterday, I asked people who plan on tuning into our silly streams that we have been doing since “almost” the start of the pandemic what they would like to see us do in handling the playoffs. The responses were overwhelming for a couple of the options and so here we are. Game 1 of the first round starts tonight at 7pm MT.

About 15 minutes prior to game time, the stream will be live here:

How we got here:

As mentioned before, I put it out to you the Nation as to what you wanted to see. You said you wanted to see a sim done based off points percentage from when the pause occurred. So, here is what that looks like for you:

Game 1 Nashville/St. Louis final score: 3-2 Nashville (Series 1-0 NSH)

The Predators step onto enemy ice and put up three big goals in the first period. The Blues tried to battle back in the third but it’s too little, too late.
