Maybe not. However, all this fluff is useless to the people that just want a solid game of video game hockey, which EA hasn't delivered in years. So the fact that so much marketing time and focus is spent on such a non aspect is annoying to a lot of people.

Anyhow, Bergeron for cover athlete. I'm wondering if they will go PK for Canada, and Bergy for U.S. Completely doubt it, but you never know.

You are aware that the game developers and the marketing teams are independent of each other right?

If you took the guys running the cover vote and had them work on improving the game you would end with a pretty terrible game built by people who probably haven't ever even seen game code before.

It feels that this game has been built by people that have never seen nor played(yes I know Littmans background) hockey at times. Nor, even watched a broadcast.

I think everyone knows that EA as a company has different divisions that carry out the different aspects of building and promoting a game. It's more the fact that nobody cares about a player cover vote, or a new buzzword to describe something in this years series, instead of just fixing basic things that fans have been asking for a long time now.

Almost, but that's reserved for #19 on the Chicago Blackhawks

You think an entire coding team is required to post up a voting link on a website every once in a while and stops development? GG.

The Bergeron 15 hashtag has taken over my twitter timeline. I ****ing hate it.

Everyone hating on Bergeron is absurd. He is one of the classiest guys in the sport, endeniably one of the toughest, plays the best two way game in the NHL (will win his 2nd Selke) and showed for team Canada that if asked he can be a top line offensive minded forward. He is one of the most respected players in the league among players and media, which you can't say about Subban.

Bergeron begins a significantly higher percetage of his shifts in his own defensive zone and still maintains a higher +/- and comparable point totals to go with routinely one of the top 3 faceoff %'s in the league. The Selke vote will reflect that.
