The Leafs player is Borje Salming. I saw it on the Red Wings facebook page.

If you don't like him, that's your thing. LOVE HIM. I will never have another favorite player.
Nice find Gagnon39. I'd prefer Modano over Roenick, but don't really have a problem with either. I'd like to see Brian Leetch someday.

As a Houston Aeros fan, I hope the other one besides Mario, is Gordie Howe.

Roenick deserves to be on this list simply because it is EA's hockey game. He was a god in NHL 94. Is he a legend? I'd have to say that I'd have a hard time convincing anyone of that. But he was pretty darn good.
I would say JR is a US hockey legend for sure. We don't have a huge laundry list of legends like Canada does. JR is one of those guys that not only gave it his all in the NHL, but also gave it his all in international events. No question one of the best US born players. He may not have had as good of career as some out there but I tell ya what he had as much heart (if not more) than most guys. The guy is a straight up gamer and I love the fact that he shows his passion to everyone on Versus and NBC when he's covering games. He rants a lot, but you can see how much he loves the game. It sucks he never won a cup, but then again many other great players never won a cup either.

How is Jeremy Roenick, of all people, in over the best player in NHL history in Bobby Orr?

Thanks for that! So glad you drew that line at Legends.
Let me correct you here. What ruin BaP and OTP was to have boost at first. If you give community players type with set attributes (like when you apply a Boost Pack), that would have been alright. Everyone with the same attributes, no cheating of the AI, no boost to pay for or unlock while cheating to get, than, all people would have to thing about is playing the game.

EA ruined their game themselves simply because they want to make money. I understand fully people paying to get the boost. No way some people can play 300 hours of hockey in a month and keep playing with a 76 overall player online against guys who cheat, by having a guy unlocking everything and then others modding the card and come out after 2 weeks with a legend with 90 overall.

Agreed. I have tons of autographed stuff from Roenick. I actually met/know is godmother (I know it sounds crazy) but she took tons of stuff to him and brought it back signed. I drew a picture of him when I was in 7th grade and gave it to her to give to him to keep. He sent it back and signed, "Grant, awesome job!!! - Jeremy Roenick". Still have it. Cards, jerseys, pucks, all that stuff with my name on it. He'll forever be my favorite player. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him but everyone I know that has says he's a stand-up guy. Hopefully one day our paths will cross.

He's in a video released today. Disappointed in general at this legends feature. First I couldn't believe that was the "big announcement", now I can't believe of the thousands of players that have played, these are the ones EA chose?
