i personally do not think he deserves this at all. and i dont hate on phaneuf. i think hes good, but at the same time he's highly overrated.
I couldn't agree more, I'd rather see someone else on the cover, crosby, AO... iggy...so many other that are better suited, but phaneuf just isn't cover material...Originally posted by S13_Ryan

Marty Turco from the Dallas Stars was on this or last years cover for 2k if I remember correctly.Originally posted by S13_Ryan

EDIT: It was Nhl 2k6 Marty was on, but back in 94 in the first EA NHL, Andy Moog of the Bostin Bruins was a cover athlete.

here comes a bad year from him now
i can think of many better cover athletes, but i guess they are adding more defensive stuff this year? so they wanted to follow that trend?
damn, they just ruined his career. I just got the press release for this, Ovechkin is on the cover in russia and alfredsson is on the cover in sweeden. Good for him though
what are you guys talking about...ea jinx?
its the madden curse...not the "nhl cover jinx"
look at some of the past covers for nhl...
joe sakic
jarome iginla
vincent lecalvier
alexander ovechkin
dany heatley
chris pronger
im pretty sure all have had sick seasons before and after being on the cover
These opinions are entirely my own and do not represent any other person or organization.
dany heatley got into a fatal car accident after he was on the cover
Fuck Phaneuf, the guys a douchebag.
In reference to Rob Anders:

that may be the case but look at the jinx he had this season after being signed to that incredibly generous contract extension.
phaneuf is highly over paid and over rated which is why hes hated by so many but hes still good..... reguardless, i dont think he deserves this.
Lidstrom should have made the cover this year, not Phaneuf.
great trailer zedge thanks!
I remember Vanvesbrouck (SP) from the Panthers on the 1997 one!Originally posted by S13_Ryan
