You have to change to a line that doesnt have him on that line. For example, 1st pair dman, switch to the 2nd or 3rd line. etc.

but awesome trailers though.

Zherdev: 90 deking!?!?

must i remind you??

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZC2bcKLyT2Y


It seems to me like they didn't put much effort into these rankings...if you watch hockey you know that Zherdev is better at deking than Gomez and Prucha.

I don't know prucha seems pretty good when its a 1on1 deke ,he scores most of the time.

my problem is
1) WHY IS MALIK ON THE ROSTER
2) WHY IS ZHERDEV OUR ONLY 90+ OVERALL
3) DOES EA KNOW SOMETHING WE DON'T?


#2 is just pure ridiculous , at least make gomez/drury/shanahan , someone like that 90+ not a first year young guy.

but look at dubinsky , he went upto 80! good for him.

Shanny has 94 Toughness!

2) WHY IS ZHERDEV OUR ONLY 90+ OVERALL

they did not post overall rankings yet. Zherdev has a 90 offensive awareness ranking.

ohhh ok that makes much more sense,i probably saw the OWR and jumped to conclusions missing the A , i was gonna go balistic if zherdev was the only 90+ on the team.
