Default Matthew Tkachuk Selected as Cover Athelete for EA NHL 2026

https://twitter.com/user/status/1952403384142606427

Matthew Tkachuk has apparently been selected as the cover athlete for NHL 26. EA to make it official in a few days.

It's a little bit painful to see, but good for him.

I feel like there's a direct correlation between when the cover art started sucking and the games themselves started sucking (somewhere around 2015).

So us Flames fans will end up tormented that we had the Panthers 25 first round pick and not the 26 one? Is there a NHL curse that's anything like the Madden curse?

Can’t hate Matthew Tkachuk for Brad Treliving’s incompetence.

At least our boy kept the Oilers from two banners - Congratulations, Matthew.

It should’ve been us.

Your username + not having all of your posts be “I am Groot” = leaving money on the table.

Did they find a girdle made of Mithril for ol' Keith there or just a really good digital artist?

I don't think Chucky merited it this year, and he's kind of an edgy choice. But to the extent it bruns the Oil, great.

Also...missed opportunity to have Chucky munching on his mouthguard on the cover. Now that would have been funny.
