NHL: Our Hero
Well, there’s this interesting story over at GameSpot.
Although it sounds like the NHL comes across as a hero for allowing choice in hockey (thank god becuase EA’s NHL game is a massive turd comparied to 2K6), we all know it comes down to money and how much they’ll make, right?
I mean seriously, if EA approached the NHL first before approaching the NHLPA, maybe we would be talking about another story.
I hate these contracts, 2K with MLB, NFL with EA. It’s stupid and limits our choices to the crap that they pull out. Madden 06 Xbox 360, anyone?

i really think the NHL is looking at the fact they need all the good publicity it can get. i am concerned that 2k’s title will be with ficticious player names, but it sounds like the nhl will nix the nhlpa deal for something mutually beneficial.
the nfl deal is a different monster. they have a popularity no other american pro sport can match. they can survive their exclusive deal and any other, like sunday ticket, because this country cannot get enough of nfl football. the nfl draft out-draws nba & nhl playoff games and early season baseball in terms of national interest.

Oh, really?
What was the top news of the week: The Colts undefeated season going bye-bye, or Johnny Damon signing with the Yankees?

Outside of Boston, and NY, it was definitely Indy losing.
