Same could be said for Kings in a year or two

I love the cover. However it is very surprising that they went with a Blackhawk 2 years in a row. Though, deservedly so.

And nobody has touched on the actual artwork of the cover. Last year was the first year they went with the "brushed" look, and now this year, they've really went from an actual photo of the player to a photo turned into a drawing of a photo. Last year, the picture of Kane looked semi-drawn, but this year it's almost entirely. Very different, but I love it.

Edit- The closer I look at it, the more I realize that it's just about the same as last year. But still, I like it.

It must be so awesome to be a Hawks fan right now.

someone said what they might be doing is regional covers for markets. Like Miller in the east or the buffalo area, while toews midwest chicago etc. To me it sounds like a possibility but highly unlikely

Toews from what I've seen doesn't carry himself like a scumbag off the ice so they shouldn't have that problem this year.

Come on dude your gonna talk about scumbag when the Flyers fans boo Towes when he is receiving the Conny? Everybody said how classless Philly was for that. Sorry but those fans are the scumbags. Besides that "drunk mullet wearing hooligan" scored the game winner & ended the longest drought in the nhl.
Besides EA is just letting you know who's gonna win in again just like they did last year with Kane . Unlike the Madden curse, ea's nhl is the good luck charm. The Hawks have the greatest sweaters, the greatest team this year & they are one of the original 6. LET'S GO HAWKS!
