The EA Curse?

[RadioGaGa 162]

So, Vincent Lecavalier only has 1 point in his first 4 games????

Has the "curse" found another victim?

He must get injured to call it the E.A. curse, like season ending.

Oh..I thought you just had to have a sub-par season after being on the cover to be considered "cursed"...I didn't realize and injury was (necessarily) part of it.

[tuzzifan44 0]

That is what I have always heard and it always seems to freakishly happen to the player on the cover.

Oddly Sundin is hurt, but on the cover of 2K6 in Canada.

The EA Sports curse = Vinnie

the SI curse = Calgary

the 2K curse = Sundin

I have Vinny on my fantasy team, he better snap out of this.

NHL 96- Scott Stevens/Yzerman

NHL 97- John Vanbiesbruck

NHL 98 - Peter Forsberg

the only other off the top of my head is heatley, but how about Lindross, wasn't he on one of the covers?

Lindros was EA '99. Reason for me knowing that is because that is the last video game I've bought. :lol:

Didn't Sakic replace Heatley?

[Eazy_b97 1]

Didn't Sakic replace Heatley?

Yes, but I know in my area Sakic was rare. By the time his cover was released, most of the Heatley games were sold out.

[forsberg91 0]

Yeah i never saw one with Sakic on the cover until I recieved it for Christmas. Still haven't seen it in a store with Sakic.

[Langenbrunner15 0]

This is offending the Madden curse, which is infinitely worse than this one.

I think that is becasue Football injuries are *generally* more gruesome that hockey injuries.

Vinnie put up 4 points last night in Atlanta. Doesn't look like much of a curse to me. I think it's a little early in the season to say this year is worse than the 2003-2004 season.
