Google Assistant is Now Ready for the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs

The 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs begin this Wednesday and ahead of the first puck drop, Google Assistant is ready for the postseason.

Below are some hockey questions you can ask Google, whether on your mobile device or Google Home smart speaker.

Warm-up

•  “Hey Google, are you watching the game?”
• “Hey Google, which is your favourite hockey team?”
• “Hey Google, who’s your favourite hockey player?”

During commercial breaks

• “Hey Google, who’s gonna win tonight?”
• “Hey Google, who will win the cup this year?”
• “Hey Google, will Toronto/Winnipeg/Calgary/Montreal/etc. win the cup?”

During the game

• “Hey Google, help me talk like a hockey fan”

Intermission fun

• “Hey Google, tell me a hockey joke”
• “Hey Google, do a hockey interview”
• “Hey Google, tell me a fun fact about hockey”
• “Hey Google, tell me a hockey quote”

Post-game

• Relive some magical postseason moments with “Hey Google, tell me a playoff memory”
• Test your playoff knowledge with “Hey Google, tell me a hockey riddle”

Google says if you ask the same question more than once, Assistant will reply with a different response.

According to Google Canada, search trends in Canada indicate more people are searching for the Toronto Maple Leafs, ahead of the Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames, out of the three Canadian teams in the hunt for Lord Stanley.
