Siri has lost her mind—Updated! Google doesn’t know either

Update: I updated the wording I used to query both Siri and Google and ended up getting similar results. Very slight change in how it was asked, but with different results.

I use Siri all the time to confirm the NHL schedule and simple things like that. It works well, even though looking up a schedule isn’t the most difficult task in the world. Or maybe it is.

I was sure there was a playoff game on TV last night, so I asked Siri about 4:00 pm PT what the NHL schedule was—she replied with the score of the previous night’s game, but no information on a game that night.

I was still sure there was a game on, so I asked Google. I was right, a game started in an hour. Siri still had no idea about the game.

This morning I was talking to parents about the score of the game and we got the scores of different games in the last few days confused. I asked Siri:

“What was the score of the NHL game last night?”

As you can see, Siri gave me the score of a Russia vs NHL game played on February 12, 1987.

I asked Google and it gave me the score from last night’s game.

I’ve never seen Siri do this type of thing before.

Update: I inadvertently used two different phrases to ask the same question to Siri and Google. When I ask Siri:

“What was the score of the NHL game last night?”

It gives me the correct answer, as Google did.

However, if I ask:

“What was the score of last night’s NHL game?”

Siri gave me the Russia score pictured above. However, Google didn’t give me the proper answer either. It gave me the scores from the previous series.

I’m confused.
