i thought i read that there is a NHL 15 review embargo, where critics given their advance copy aren't able to release their review until a period of time AFTER the official game release. Is this common practice?

the pessimist in me reads this as:
- We're going to get crapped on, let's ensure all the pre-order folks have paid up before the crapstorm hits the web

the optimist:
- There are certain enhancements/fixes that will be made available as part of launch release (ie. how we used to get tuners on release day as soon as you loaded up the game the first time) that they feel could affect how the game scores with the critics
