That, ladies 'n' gentlemen, is what has been flying around some hockey message boards in recent times.
If you don't know, EA Sports' "NHL" franchise is pretty succesful, although it has fallen off in the recent years.
But the question is: is this authentic, or just some joke?
Ryan Miller, no offence, is not good enough to be on the cover of a video game just yet, take a look at the recent names to hit the game cover:
1999 Lindros cover
2000 Pronger cover
2001 Nolan cover
2002 Lemieux cover
2003 Iginla cover
2004 Heatley/Sakic cover
2005 Naslund cover
2006 Lecavalier cover
2007 Ovechkin cover
Does it really make sense for Ryan Miller to follow suit?
And, if you look closely, the image is fake, the "08" is bigger than the "NHL" and the background for the "NHL 08" lettering should be transparent, like its predecessor, NHL 07.
Man, I should make one of those with Cristobal Huet on it, it would be so easy.
