PowerPlayGoal.com – Hockey From A Different Angle

It’s now Summer, which means that both EA and 2K will be teasing us with details of their new NHL videogames to be released later this fall. To celebrate the occasion, so to say, we will be making a few comics this Summer which will be about hockey games both old and new, starting with this one…

Some of you might remember our review for 2K9, and those of you who own it will know that it feels very half finished, and is also very buggy; this comic makes fun of just one of those bugs. Basically, when you’re in a fight, if you shake both the Wii Remote and Nunchuck too violently, your health bar will completely deplete, and the other player will not let go, and can still keep punching you. The Officials don’t come over to break the players up, so they’re stuck like that forever. The only way you can end it is to quit the game, which can be very annoying if you’re quite far in.

I think my reasoning for this one should be obvious: the writers at NHL.com went absolutely crazy over the Trade Deadline this year (really though, what was it about this year’s one that made it so special?).

Shown in this comic are fans of the only four teams, Detroit, Minnesota, Nashville and Washington, that did absolutely nothing prior to the Deadline.

A recent conversation about The Islanders moving to Kansas City promoted some googling and I found out a little something about Kansas City and their desperation to become an NHL city.
