Re: STAMKOS on the cover?

I was hoping for Rob Ray to make the cover for NHL 12

Congrats to Stamkos for making the cover of 12.

Re: STAMKOS on the cover?

Yeah, Stamkos is a top notch player as well, though I would have liked Thomas as well. Doesn't really matter as what the game is like is much more important to me. Not like I'm gonna spend hours looking at the cover.

Good point! However i am from Boston and would've loved to have a copy of a signed NHL 12.

Almost looks like he's in a Leafs jersey.

I thought the same. But hey, Leafs will throw him a 11M/year offersheet.
Just kidding. I think I'll make my own cover, but Stamkos is a good choice. He's a star and is known amongst every fan, so that'll help the sales I guess.

Perhaps the most overrated player in the league. Excellent finisher (usually feeding off St Louis' work), but not a very good all around hockey player. Poor play in his own end, not good on the boards, rarely wins puck battles and has a tough time creating his own shot. But he's got one hell of a one-timer and gets a ton of goals so he gets a ton of attention, IMO largely undeserved...

Holy crap, that Kane and Toews stuff was freaking awesome!

Re: NHL 12 Cover Features Steven Stamkos

I hate that pose.... god awful in my opinion.

[fatleg3]

Great pick. Should have used the black, white or dark blue bolts jersey. How does Stamkos not deserve this. He is the next great thing in hockey now

Well, now I'm waiting for every other sports medium cover to showcase random scratch marks across face. I guess the splotches are out.

In related news..... 99.999999 percent of the country is asking, "who is Stamkos?"

Are Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury all superstitious of being on the cover or something?

That's what I thought too, my first thought on seeing it was "How did a Leaf make the cover?" TB needs to go back to their black/blue jersey, I wish teams would be consistent with their colors. The Sharks need to go back to teal, the Flyers have done something right with going back to orange at least.
