For some reason the bulk of EA's
NHL 10 dev diaries and videos are featuring Zach Stortini instead of cover boy Patrick Kane (maybe he missed a cab or something) but the latest one talks about the qualities of a tough guy in the NHL. It covers the obvious things like fighting as well as the more sublime things like aggressive forechecking and making sure the opposing teams skill players don't have an easy go of it (which are two of my favorite things to do when I play). I'm interested to see how EA works these elements into the game as they are some of the more sublime aspects of a hockey game.
