First off, that cover is awful. Second why are there two players from the same team on the cover of the game for two straight year(Really EA?). And lastly Toews does not deserve to be on that cover just like he does not deserve the Conn Smythe Trophy.
@pieman523 - angry Flyers fan, or just dealing with an inflamed hemorrhoid?
Piss and moan all you want, it still won't change the fact that Toews WILL BE on the cover just as he WILL ALWAYS BE the Conn Smythe Trophy winner for the past season.

This game is looking very promising to be the first hockey game that I will play since '94. Dammit, why don't any of my friends like hockey!?
Flyers could have won if they had gotten better goaltending.
Not to take anything away from the Blackhawks though, they're worthy champs.

I am buying this just because I lovelovelovelove my city's team and want to celebrate their recent victory.
ALSO: I'm gay for Toews

Please, no one outside of the Northeast knew who Richards was before the playoffs. Anyway, Toews is a good choice even if it would be nice to see a different team get a player on there.

Dude, everybody that watched Team Canada win the Gold Medal at the Winter Olympics knows who Mike Richards is, WTF are you talking about?

@KwikPwn
And just the same they would know that Jonathan Toews got the award for best forward in the Olympics even though you canadians disgraced him by placing him in the fourth line.
I can say without doubt that team Canada would have lost without Jonathan Toews and I can't think of a single person more deserving of the cover.

1. I'm not from Canada.
2. I never said Toews isn't deserving if the cover.
I just took exception to swarkles comments on Richards when he is, in fact, a national hero in Canada.
In the Gold Medal game Richards forced the turnover that lead to Toews' goal.
They're both great players so I really don't know what your malfunction is.

Yeah, I really don't see anyone else more suitable for the cover this year. Sure its kinda weird that you got two black hawks in a row but I can look past that easily. Toews had a great playoff season.
Being from Chicago this is great. Yea I know I'm biased. Taserbeam and Kaner are very young and they are already playing very well. This just might be the first sports video game I will purchase in at least 5 years. Haters gonna hate, and you can cry and moan all you want, but me and my Hawks championship hat will sit back and laugh at you. Also to those that are thinking about challenging someone from Canada and their knowledge of hockey...don't, its on their currency for fucks sake.
@swarkles
Oh, well if you would have said that in the first place instead of acting like you'd never heard of him until two months ago...
I thought perhaps you were a Blackhawks fan swept up in cup fever with little knowledge of the game.
My apologies.

...and yes I do feel that Toews is deserving of the cover, he's one of the best players in the world.
RICHARDS IS ONE OF THE MOST VICIOUS PLAYERS TO PLAY IN THE NHL. Stop praising him for no reason. Toews deserves the Conn Smythe and if you think otherwise, then why aren't you playing in the NHL already?
The Toews-Richards-Nash line was our shutdown line. Even if they were 4th in name, they were by far our best line. As long as it's not a Habs, Sens, Canucks, Oilers or Flames player, I'm fine ^_^
Toews is my favourite player playing right now (and I'm not a Hawks fan). Kane, not so much. I was not stoked about Kane on last year's cover, but I am really stoked for Toews on this cover (as if it matters somehow -- I put the game in and don't look at the box or the disc for motnhs anyway). I'd be okay with Richards too. As long as it's a player who is a good example of what hockey fans love in a player: sportsmanship, skill, grit, and leadership. Kane: not so much. Ditto Heatley. Guys like Iginla, Toews, Richards, Ryan Miller, Drury -- those are cover dudes. Let's all just agree that good dudes should be on the covers, not Heatley and Kane. Word? Word.
