NHL 11 Cover Athlete: Jonathan Toews

[P2K]

Bad mouthing a group of fans & players...add on homerism to the tenth power...and stereotyping just for good measure.

All because of a video game cover.

It is all good, we agree to disagree. I am sure he will grow into a great man, but when people kiss your *** it is kinda hard to break that entitlement feeling. But I am done with this. I don't want to get this thread of track. I was wrong to say that about Kane. Any way the game looks real solid.

I'm a Hawks fan and even I agree that Kane is a jerk. He's an immature 21 year old and I don't think he's been sober since the Hawks won the cup. I still don't think he has learned his lesson from the cab incident seeing as he's still joking about it. However, he isn't paid to be a nice guy, he's paid to score goals. Jonathan Toews is Kane's polar opposite and is extremely mature. But Toews is not on the cover because he's a good person, he's on it because he had an unbelievable season. The days of athletes being looked up to as role models should be over.

i am also a long time flyers fan and its wrong the way the the conn smythe was given out this year. if you look, daniel briere was leading the whole playoffs with points. i think that if the flyers won the cup, mike richards would be on the cover and he would be the MVP.

I can understand why one would be a little salty with two back to back Blackhawks as cover boys for the only hockey game that matters. But with that being said, I personally think (and not just because I'm from the Chi) that more than Kaner did on 10, Toews deserves the nod for 11. He was a beast in the playoffs! 29 over all points...MVP and Stanley Cup Winner in one of the craziest hockey towns in the country?! Not to mention he basically wins every face-off he's involved in....(which is one of the newest improvements to this years game)...... says to me putting him on the cover makes perfect sense.

I doubt that, Chicago was just happy to actually win something .

When the Blues win the cup, watch and see how crazy a town can get for their hockey team...

im glad they put Toews with the black jersey, just realized today going through my games that it would have been the 4th year in a row the cover athlete was wearing a red jersey haha (Staal, Phaneuf, and Kane)

I beg to differ. Not being a huge hockey fan myself I can asure you 2 million plus at a parade for a non football, baseball or basketball team is unreal! Does the lou even have 2 million residents, let alone hockey fans. Just kidding bro. But seriously....I agree...Chicagoans are always eger to have a reason to party or celebrate a champion.....hell it had been 49 years for Hawks fans....longest drought in the NHL. Chicago fans go hard bro!

The Cubs fans can attest to the fact of how hard it is to be the team thats gone the longest without winning a championship. Now thats a party everybody would want to be at!
