Cosmic Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I think they were trying to be inspiring here, but they ended up with the least inspiring cover in recent memory. No one not that into hockey will be buying this game for its cover, that's for sure.It's the beards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I like that the NHL is different and does an award show (and was doing one long before the NFL started it, as evidenced by the hideous video dfwabel posted), but man, it's a hard watch. They don't get the celebrity pull that other shows get for a host (although, I usually like Rob Riggle), presenters, and music. We all know hockey players are some of the most uninteresting guys, let alone public speakers, on the planet.It's just hard.And that NHL16 cover looks like a bad fan photoshop. It's not an action shot. It's a posed shot with Toews/Kane standing and wearing hats (even the Cup doesn't save this photo). It doesn't appear to be all that touched up, definitely not stylized. And it's two guys that have already been on the cover, now just standing next to each other.Were they going to use anybody who won the Cup? Were they going to just use an old Kane/Toews photo? Will the new versions of the game not be stripped down of features and suck? (although, I'm still probably going to upgrade my system and get the new game, because, dammit, I can't quit you NHL...) | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJTank Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I like it its a good way to announce award winners.Im glad the NFL does it now and MLB and NBA should follow suitThe way the NBA does it is the worst its leaked first and done so randomly during the playoffs. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Is it me, or does it look like there's no way they could support the weight of the Cup with how they're holding it?Abd lol at Randy Carlyle getting a third-place vote for the Jack Adams.

TorinK92 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Lehner and Legwand went to Buffalo for the 21st overall pick.The only reason I wouldn't like this trade is that I have a Lehner sweater, but the value was higher than I expected for a concussed, underdeveloping young goalie. Legwand is essentially just a salary dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
