NHL 13 Cover Athlete Voting Starts Today

[jyoung]

Well, Iginla was on the cover not too long ago (09 I think?), so it's time for another team to get the spotlight.

I'm a Sharks fan, and not a fan of the Wings by any means, but I agree with you on Datsyuk. Simply awesome. I wouldn't mind Lidstrom on the the cover either. He's about pure class and a true professional. My Red Wings buddy will never hear those words come out of my mouth.

The choices for the Flames are laughable. Stajan and Backlund over the likes of Kiprusoff, Jokinen, Tanguay etc.??

Im a Blues fan and i think he would be a great pick for the cover... pretty rough to say but you can't argue what he does for that team. But being a Blues fan I would rather see Oshie on the cover.

Some of you apparently don't understand they have to 1. Have the player agree to be on the cover 2. Have the money to pay that player. They can't just throw any player on the cover. Not that the cover really matters.

Iginla was 2003.

09 was Phaneuf as a Flame.

I'm sure guys like Crosby not being involved in the voting has to do with EA not being able to get him to commit to the cover or whatever the case may be.

Anyways, I'll be voting heavily for Evander Kane.

Unbiasedly, I'd like to see Malkin, Giroux or Lundqvist.
