Copied and Pasted from EA's site -

[quote:f6fef]All-New EA SPORTS™ Skill Stick: Create highlight reel goals by executing the signature moves of an NHL All-Star. With a tap of the right analog stick, drop the puck between your skates, fake out goaltenders with a between-the-legs shot, or puck the puck in the back of the net with a bat-in.
EA SPORTS R.P.M. Physics: New Realistic Puck Momentum (R.P.M.) means the puck is dangerous—hard shots can injure defensemen, shake up goalies in the crease, ripple the twine, or knock water bottles off the net to add insult to injury.
Classic Deking Control: Movement on the ice is more intuitive than ever as you skate and deke using the left analog stick to move past opponents and make goalies look foolish. Own the ice like in the glory days of the EA SPORTS classic NHL 94!
All-New Momentum Skating: Feel what it’s like to be on the ice. A player’s speed and size now affects his momentum and turning radius. Generate momentum to initiate speed bursts then fly past opponents, leaving real-time ice trails in your wake.
Creation Zone: Create a player who looks like you and get into the game with the new analog facial sculpting controls. Add black eyes, broken noses and scars to put fear in the eyes of your opponents. Create an NHL team in your hometown and build a dynasty, or edit any player in the league with an all-new player editor[/quote:f6fef]

There's also a PC demo out and available for download and the PS2 demo can be found primarily in Canada (haven't seen any US stores with it yet).

In the PS2 version, you can also play an emulated version of the classic NHL '94. rock:

Haha sick, nhl94 rock:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK I can't wait.

The Detroit Red Wings re-signed Zetterberg to a $10.6-million US, four-year contract Wednesday, bringing back at least one of their two star restricted free agents.

Centre Pavel Datsyuk has agreed to a deal in Russia and remains unsigned by the Red Wings. It appears he won't be in the NHL this season.

But Zetterberg finally signed after a long negotiation. He'll earn $2.65 million a season and gave up one year of unrestricted free agency, which was key for the Wings.

Good news after that Commie Datsyuk spurned 5 mill from the wings for 6 million to stay in russia. Though he might still resign its highly doubtful.

ps...Datsyuk isnt even worth 5 million

Datsyuk was the reason you guys were even decent last year.

Yea he helped in the playoffs with his 0 goals oOo:

Dont get me wrong hes a good player....hes not worth 5 million though.

Scott Stevens retires at 41 years old.

i now know im getting old.... eek:

happy:

W00t Datsyuk Resigned with the wings rock:
