In the world of sports video games, not much can really change year to year. The game at its core is the same, but it's what video-game developers add that makes it worth spending the cash. Such is the case with season's National Hockey League video games: "NHL 09" from EA Sports and "NHL 2K9" from 2K Sports. And, just like last season, the EA franchise continues to serve as a real fan and Player's dream game with intense graphics and great extra features, whereas "NHL 2K9" caters to those looking for a more pick-up-and-play, arcade-style game. From the moment you load "NHL 09" (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, $60; PlayStation 2, $30; PC $40) it clearly stands out as the first star with its crisp and clear graphics and interface. And with the game's new defensive controls, it's no surprise that Calgary Flames defenseman Dion Phaneuf is on the cover. Using the right analog stick, players have full control of their Hockey stick allowing them to block passing lanes and lift an opponent's stick before receiving a pass or taking a shot. The game also has a new physics engine for more realistic checking. On the offensive side, use the new one-handed deke controls to school the goaltender and share the replay with all of your friends. EA Sports also brought back its "NHL 94" two-button controls for those looking for a more simplified approach, without sacrificing game quality. But what makes "NHL 09" special this season, is the new Be A Pro mo ...

When seven National Post writers and editors voted on the top 25 players in the National Hockey League (in the paper’s Oct. 8 edition), Sidney Crosby beat out Alexander Ovechkin by the closest of margins, with the two flipping spots as the ballots were counted. When the same group went about naming the best young players in the League —21 years old or younger — there was no similar drama. Ovechkin just turned 23. Evgeni Malkin, second to Ovechkin in the 2004 draft and second again in last year’s scoring race, is 22. Crosby, despite starring in the NHL for three seasons (and winning the League’s MVP award as a 19-year-old), is barely 21. To no one’s surprise, he was the Post’s unanimous choice as the NHL’s top under-22 Player. The real debate came in the spots behind Crosby. Who was the best young Blackhawk: captain Jonathan Toews or Calder winner Patrick Kane? And who was the best young Staal, Eric of Jordan? Each member of the Post panel (writers Bruce Arthur, Sean Fitz-Gerald, Joe O’Connor and Michael Traikos, and editors Jim Bray, Guy Spurrier and James Madge) selected their top 10, with a first-place vote worth 10 points and an 10th-place vote worth one. A look at the Post’s top 10 (with voting points in parentheses): 1. Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh (70) He had 102 points in his rookie season. He won the Hart and Art Ross trophies in 2007. And he led the Penguins to the Stanley Cup final in the spring. An easy choice. 2. Anze Ko ...

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin is out indefinitely after having surgery on a fractured facial bone he suffered in a helmet-to-helmet hit last Sunday against the New York Jets. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said that the surgery was performed on Thursday and was told by Dr. Reed Day, who performed the surgery, that it "went well" and that a Hockey Player who had the same procedure was able to play 10 days later. The injury occurred when Boldin was in the end zone trying to haul in a pass from Kurt Warner with 27 seconds left in the contest when Jets safety Eric Smith collided with him on a helmet-to-helmet hit. Boldin crumpled to the turf, motionless for several minutes, but fully conscious. He was tended to by medical staffs and brought off the field on a backboard and was taken to the hospital for observation. The League suspended Smith one game and fined him $50,000 for the jarring hit. ...

Ask both hardcore and casual fans what their favorite thing about Hockey is. Their answer will most likely be the fighting. Fighting not only separates the NHL from other professional sports, but plays a key role in the game.  Fighting not only protects the superstars of today, but also gets fans into the sport of Hockey. Violence is a huge seller this day and age to many, and no other sport can provide such a thrill like Hockey can. I present you with the NHL's top 10 pugilists (stats from www.hockeyfights.com):   10. Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins Chara, one of the NHL's biggest guys at 6'9" and 260 lbs., is also one of the game's top D-men, putting up 40-plus points in his last four NHL seasons. While fighting isn't his main priority, Big Z is among the best of them when he chooses to ditch the mitts—even breaking Dave Koci's nose last season during a scrap.   9.   Daniel Carcillo, Phoenix Coyotes The Coyotes have something special in Carcillo. In his rookie season, Carcillo racked up 24 points and 13 goals, while scrapping 19 times and leading the League with an astounding 324 penalty minutes. The sky's the limit for Carcillo, as 30 goals and over 300 penalty minutes are in the realm of possibility. While standing only 6'0" tall, Carcillo does not let his size work against him.   8. Milan Lucic, Boston Bruins Lucic, only a rookie last season, is also a Sean Avery-type of Player, who can score as well as bring the business when it ...

* European flavor: Former Otters center Geoff Platt (2003-05) has begun the season with Minsk Dynamo in the Kontinental Hockey League, which reportedly has replaced the Russian Super League. The language barrier remains his biggest obstacle, Platt, 23, said by e-mail earlier this week. “Belarus speaks predominantly Russian and very minute amounts of English,” he said. “Interacting with people in everyday life and teammates can be very challenging. But with anything in life, you learn to adapt.” Platt, who will join Ilves Tampere of the Finnish Elite League later this season, finished the 2007-08 season with Portland, Anaheim’s AHL affiliate. He had 28 goals and 58 points in 60 games. Coupled with stints in Syracuse, Columbus’ AHL club, and Anaheim, he had 32 goals and 65 points in 80 games. But Platt chose to play in Europe “to continue developing at the game of Hockey,” he said. “I felt that after three successful seasons split between the AHL and NHL and never fully becoming an everyday NHL Player, I needed to pursue another angle of attack directed towards my ultimate goal of the NHL.” Platt once was concerned about returning to North America. But, he said, “After careful consideration and now a month of KHL experience, the rush to return has subsided,” he said. “If I can be successful playing Hockey here or anywhere in Europe, the so-called calling card for North America will come naturally.” * Much-needed turnaround: Plymouth wing ...

The Erie Otters have reassigned rookie center Phil Teri, 17, to Elmira Jr. B in the Mid-Western Junior Hockey League on Wednesday. Teri, a native of Fergus, Ontario, made the Otters' roster as a free agent in the preseason. He dressed for the first two regular-season games. But he fell down the depth chart after veteran forwards Justin Hodgman, 20, Luke Gazdic, 19, Nick Palmieri, 19, and Zack Torquato, 19, returned from NHL camps. This week, left wing Kelly Geoffrey, 18, was medically cleared to rejoin the lineup. He will play Thursday in Peterborough. In other news, the Otters will visit the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, on Friday morning to donate rookie winger Anthony Luciani's stick from the Otters' win in Plymouth on Sept. 20. Luciani scored two penalty-shot goals against the Whalers. He's believed to be the first Player to accomplish that feat in the same game. The club also will donate a DVD, ticket and program from that game. Meanwhile, former defenseman Josh Kidd, 19, who signed a one-year AHL contract with Manchester this week, could be eligible for the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Given the one-year deal, the Los Angeles Kings, who hold his rights, still need to sign him to a NHL contract by June 1 or he would re-enter the draft, said Mark Guy, Kidd's agent from Newport Sports Management in Mississauga, Ontario. – Victor Fernandes ...

The Philadelphia Flyers signed defenseman Luca Sbisa to an entry-level contract Wednesday. "We consider Luca a good, young prospect for us," said GM Paul Holmgren in making the announcement. "We are happy to have it done. He has continued to play well for us through training camp. The fact that he is still here (in training camp) shows that we think very highly of him, and at the end of the day, we will do what we feel is right for the organization and what we feel is right for the development of this young Player.” “It is a great feeling," added Sbisa. "I have been working for this moment since I started playing Hockey. I came here and told myself to do my best, have fun and see what happens. I just want to gain as much experience as I can and see what happens.” Sbisa, 18, is scoreless with eight penalty minutes in four preseason games with the Flyers this season. Last season for the Lethbridge Hurricanes of the Western Hockey League, he recorded six goals and 27 assists for 33 points and 63 penalty minutes in 62 games. Sbisa won the Carl Trentini Memorial Award as the Hurricanes Rookie of the Year, and led all WHL defensemen in playoff scoring with 15 points (3G,12A) in 19 games as Lethbridge advanced to the 2008 WHL Finals. Sbisa was selected to participate in the 2008 CHL Top Prospects Game and was a member of Team Switzerland at the 2008 World Junior Championship Tournament. The Ozleri, Italy native was drafted by the Flyers ...
