Blue Jackets’ Nash to front NHL 2K9
by Jason Dobson May 16th 2008
Sure he and his team may have missed the playoffs yet again and are likely fantasizing about what might have been while swinging at balls from the back nine, but that hasn’t stopped Columbus Blue Jackets’ young-yet-impressive captain Rick Nash from scoring cover duty on Take Two’s fall release of NHL 2K9.
Not to take anything away from three-time All Star Nash, but it’s still an odd choice, at least by team standings, given the Blue Jackets’ once again abysmal campaign during the 2007-08 regular season that saw the fledgling team rank near the bottom of both the Western Conference and overall league in points.

Not the damn cover jinx!!
Not a huge NHL fan, and I only catch a few CBJ games a year, so I kinda have to reflect on this one a little to appreciate it but THIS IS KINDA A BIG DEAL!
Nearly 20 years of licensed pro video games and I think this is the first time an Ohio pro has been on the cover of such a game. (Carson Palmer made 2000-something NCAA in his USC uni). We have an honest-to-god sports celebrity in town!
(on the other hand, in a league where half the teams make the playoffs, choosing a guy who’s played in zero playoff games, kinda questionable)
maybe this will allow him to get a better quality of commercial endorsements. those hadacy commercials must be written by one of the mechanics…
