NHL 13 -- Friday Links Stuck

Just checking in on another Friday with some links from the world of hockey. The league just approved the realignment, so my previous thoughts on the subject have been brought into stark relief. It'll be interesting to see how fans across the league view the new reality of the team's they'll be facing, as some teams, like Detroit, will get to play some of the stronger and more exciting teams in the league, whereas a team like Winnipeg now loses some of those marquee match-ups (then again, easier teams would probably be a good thing for Winnipeg at this point).

Then you've got Chicago, who just continues to pound on everyone who gets in their path. It's getting pretty crazy, as they have strung together 24 games without losing both points, and they could easily go to 22-0-3 tonight (Friday), as they are taking on lowly Colorado, who is third-worst in the league right now. How long can they keep this up?

HUT Promotions for the Weekend

Starting now (Friday), you can grab a HUT Premium Player Pack for the next 48 hours. The pack includes 12 high-end 80+ player items. More details are here.

There's also a 2x puck promotion going on for this weekend, so you can gain double the pucks to spend in the HUT store.

Finally, there are specially bossted Team of the Week player cards for this week when you buy gold packs, so you'll see last week's standout players such as Patrice Bergeron, Max Pacioretty and Niklas Backstrom showing up in pumped-up card form. Read more here.

Plays of the Week

As per the norm, EA has posted a new Plays of the Week video. There's a pretty good double save in there, and a pretty sweet off the back-boards rebound goal as well.

Keep the Streak Alive

There's a new NHL Moment posted in NHL 13 to commemorate Chicago's historic run. Check it out.

Celebrate Good Times

This celebration ALMOST causes a blown ACL.
