Well the second round of the playoffs is over, and it’s time to give my simulator another spin. First, let’s look at the results from Round 2:

Montreal_Canadiens  0.616 0.348 0.147 Detroit_Red_Wings  0.772 0.530 0.380
Philadelphia_Flyers 0.384 0.174 0.056 Colorado_Avalanche 0.228 0.091 0.039
Pittsburgh_Penguins 0.568 0.289 0.114 San_Jose_Sharks    0.483 0.180 0.094
New_York_Rangers    0.432 0.189 0.064 Dallas_Stars       0.517 0.199 0.107

The simulator goes 3 for 4 this round with the only one not going its way being the Montreal-Philly series. Overall, the simulator’s predictions have been 11 for 12. Not too shabby huh?

Here are the predictions of my simulator for the conference finals:

Pittsburgh_Penguins     0.579 0.204
Philadelphia_Flyers     0.421 0.119

Detroit_Red_Wings       0.681 0.498
Dallas_Stars            0.319 0.178

So according to the program, Detroit has just shy of a 50% chance to win the whole thing, and their likely opponents is the Pittsburgh Penguins. Dallas and Pittsburgh are very close for 2nd place and Philly is not liked as much by the program.

See Round 2 and Round 1 for more information.
