NHL® 14 Cover Vote Quarterfinals Recap

The Quarterfinal matchups were very tight as each matchup came down to the wire:
  • Datsyuk vs. Lupul: Pavel Datsyuk narrowly defeated his opponent in the last round, sneaking by Joffrey Lupul in what was the tightest matchup of the round.
  • Brodeur vs. van Riemsdyk: James van Riemsdyk made things interesting for Martin Brodeur as they battled for a spot in the semifinals. Ultimately, Brodeur’s increased social media activity powered him through.
  • Tavares vs. Simmonds: The Philadelphia Flyers saw their hopes of back-to-back covers dashed as John Tavares rallied on the final day to eliminate Wayne Simmonds from contention.
  • Bobrovsky vs. Hall: Blue Jackets Sergei Bobrovsky continues to make waves in the cover vote. Bobrovsky defeated Taylor Hall to secure his spot.

Would love to see Brodeur and Bobrovsky as the final two. Nice goalie matchup.

Can't remember seeing a goalie on a cover for a long time..

Hoping its Datsyuk or Brodeur

I feel Bobrovsky vs. Datsyuk should be the final matchup. Whereas it'd be cool to see a goalie who really deserves it win, Datsyuk I think should win it especially because of their deke system they are updating! It'd be a perfect fit!!

Should be Dats and Bob in the finals. I'd like to see Dats win as a wings fan but Bob probably deserves it.

Let's go Bob!!!

Pretty sure EA is going to have Tavares on the cover.
If Bobrovsky wins this, then I will believe the vote is legit and not rigged like the Ukraine elections.
