Would've been amazing to see Bobrovsky on it, and then sign a contract with the KHL.
I was hoping he would, he deserves it after the year he had.
Brodeur deserves it after a great 2 decades.
The announcement video showed a brief first-person goalie view through the mask. It looked kind of cool.
Oculus Rift support come on.
I find it hard to believe that he received more votes then Leaf, Hab, Pens, Det players etc.
This shouldn't be a surprise to you.
If they wanted a younger player on the cover, they would have rigged the voting for a younger player.
And don't forget the Brandon Yip campaign.
:lol that would have actually been hilarious.
NHL 1914?

Not sure I understand why EA would rig it so that a guy who is likely going to play his last year in the league wins over a young guy like a John Tavares. I guess that's just me.
So it's a good thing?
More like cow.
:lol
That's my thinking too, especially since most of the kids who buy the game don't even remember watching Brodeur play.
My last hockey game was ESPN NHL in the PS2 way back in 2003. I liked that cover.
The NHL is trying to market New Jersey, its their new Phoenix.
No surprise that that they announce it a day before the draft which is being held in New Jersey as well.
/tin foil hat.

It's probably a misguided attempt at a "tribute" in what is most likely his last NHL season.
Bobby Ryan and a 1st for Letang. Ryan will play for under 5 million and like it.
Ding ding ding
Just like Madden did with Favre a few years ago......then he un-retired.....then they had to redo the cover......
Looks like Kessel is getting a new team!!!!!!!

Because offense is definitely what you need more of.
Ryan definitely would have prevented the Pens from being swept.
NHL 14 - Brodeur Lightning variant cover. :lol

Request an invite in the Steam thread.
I don't think Pens fans ever gloat about their defensive pairings.
Considering they only scored 2 goals in 4 games, you may be right! Funny how defense and goaltending weren't what did the Pens in this season...it was an inability to score.
Some dude dropped it on TSN when I was watching
Apparently they locked the HF thread since there was no twitter link but I heard it on TSN so who knows

Stupid me, sorry. I meant the NHL-GAF Steam group.
Is Dupuis getting resigned? Looks like those top 6 forwards would take up about $35 million.
Better get used to seeing this
All good, man. Just gotta score 8 a night!

Nice! Man..Pavelski or Thornton would be awesome. People on HFBoards wanted Brad Richards.....WTF between Richards and Thornton (whose 1 year older than Richards) I'd rather have Thornton! But whatever....beggars can't be choosers...
He's definitely due for a raise. Don't see the Pens offering him more than 3-4 million, though. He may be gone.
