Same here. As it is now, every single player is pretty much identical with speed being the ONLY real differance.

Even when I ran my GM mode, my best line was my 3rd.... All rated under 76... My 1st line were 89...91....90 and they played like scrubs.

That's wishful thinking. I seriously doubt they stop making NHL available for PS3 that soon.

Madden 12 was released on PS2! I know hockey isn't as popular but if EA thinks it can make a buck, it will.

I'm guessing the combo of Torts, and Sedin seemingly looking like nothing resembling what most view a strong NHL captain to be are the main reason the lockeroom was lost, and any off ice turmoil. Kesler seems like a pretty standup guy, and is probably ecstatic to be wearing another teams sweater.

Torts was a failure in Vancouver because he didn't fit the style of the players at all. Gillis should have fired V, but he did, and he got fired for the blunder that was Torts. Gillis should have been fired over letting V go, but whatever. Glad we have Benning now along with Linden, and Willie. I really like the make up of the staff right now.

Kesler lost his C because he slept with a team-mates girl friend/wife. Don't remember whose off the top of my head. Not what I would call a stand up guy.

I never thought Torts would fit in with a somewhat soft team to begin with. Torts is abrasive, I doubt the Sedins took very kindly to that, it wasn't shocking that he lost the room early on and never got it back. I like Torts myself, guy isn't afraid to speak out even if it's not the politically correct way to go about it.

Yep, he wasn't what the Canucks needed at all. I think Willie Desjardins will do any awesome job with the team. They're looking at a 3-5 year rebuild before they're competitive again.

Torts did expose a lot of flaws with the Canucks, and while I didn't like him too much by the time he left, I certainly didn't hate the guy. He spoke a lot of truth at the end. He also facilitated the firing of Gillis which I'm thrilled about. No more stupid trades, and stupid No Trade Clauses, and the new staff seems to have a clear defined plan, instead of just shooting from the cuff.

I remembered who Kesler was rumored to have slept with and it was Corey Schnieder's wife, which is why many believe they moved him instead of Luongo in last years draft when all signs pointed to Luongo leaving. Then Gillis and Torts pissed off Luongo and traded him too. So instead of having an aging super-star goalie and a young super-star goalie we now have neither. I like Eddie Lack, but we don't know what we have with him, and I'd prefer to have a veteran to split minutes with him as I'm not sold on Markstrom at all.

Kesler needed to be gone simply because he lost the locker-room through his actions and cost the Canucks their 2 best goalies.

Im looking foward to seeing how shot affects the cloth on a jersey. When I block a puck I want to see the cloth get pushed and and shift based on the impact.

This addition added incredible depth into this series. I was just saying to my buddy the other day "you know, this game would play so much better if the fans took selfies".

Thanks EA, you do listen to us!
