REDWOOD, Calif. -- Calgary Flames defenceman Dion Phaneuf will be the main cover boy for Electronic Arts' "NHL 09" video game.
The 23-year-old follows Eric Staal on the cover.
"I've been a really big fan of the franchise for as long as I can remember and am looking forward to being the face of the game this year," he said in a statement.[/quote]

Last year Staal was a huge mistake. This year EA picked a great player.
Phaneuf is an all around player. He can hit, score, skate, etc. Not to mention he's among the top defensemen today, and will be a multi-time Norris winner once Nick Lidstrom retires.

I fail to see the big deal. That's typical of a person his age.

I agree with Soxfan. No biggy, IMO.

Hanging out in a s***hole club with a bunch of skanks, smoking a cig? Yeah, real classy.
Lidstrom or Zetterberg should have been put on it.

You think he's the only professional athlete who does that?

I do not see anywhere that I mentioned it's classy. But it's what people his age do. It's what my siblings used to do, it's what my friends older siblings do and have done, like I said it's not anything out of the ordinary. Let's not blow this out of proportion, he's just having a good time. It's not like he's driving drunk like Benson or pulling a Ronaldo and hiring tranny hookers. All he's doing is smoking a cigarette and hanging out with people his age, both extremely ordinary and legal things to do. And like Dominic said, that's very common with athletes.

Chill oot.
He's a hell of a player, and not all players are saints 100% of the time.
We're not going to agree with life choices of certain athletes, but at least it isn't a trip with Theo Fleury to strip clubs in Columbus, or giving Heatley the wheel.

So if Ray Emery was good last year, it wouldn't be a problem if he was the cover boy? Come on.
