HadThomasVokounOnFortSt 878 Report post Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) Since the Kane one got locked I'll just make a new one and mods can move this to the locked one and open it back up. Doesn't matter but I thought I should share that EA Sports put out a tweet saying he's off the cover. He also will not participate in promo activities.

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) What a terrible cover to begin with. A team not many people outside of their idiot city like, with two d-bags holding the Cup. I wouldn't buy the game for that reason alone. Neither would a lot of people who hate the Blackhawks. The NHL just can't market s*** right.

I don't agree with gmrwings comment, but do you seriously think the NHL doesn't have input on what happens to their trademarked property,or how it's marketed?

I wouldn't want him to wear a wings jersey. After he ruined True Detective this past year, I think if you want to keep a successful franchise you keep Vince Vaughn away from it. 1 joesuffP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
