*IF* you have an Xbox 360, get NHL 07. I'm about the biggest EA-hater you'll ever meet, so this is high-praise indeed coming from me. NHL 07 is the closest to "real" hockey I've ever seen. Gone are the comical arcade-like over-the-top hits, and I've found dozens of different ways to score; the goalies (finally!) aren't supermen who are progreammed to stop everything except the same one or two plays.

If you don't have a 360 (your OP says you have a PS2, but this is for the benefit of other readers), I'd go with 2k7.

Of course, you can always do what Anthony said and rent them both.
