Ovi Is The Cover Athlete For NHL '21

This could be what gets me to buy an Xbox. I've been thinking about it for a bit, but I know the second I buy one I'll do nothing besides play it. All my productivity (working out, grocery shopping, making meals, blowing money on online poker, being lonely, crying myself to sleep every night) will go down to zero. When I start doing something, I go 0->100. I'm bad at balance. When I'm healthy, I'm healthy as fuck. And then when I fall off I'm eating the messiest sandwiches and all the ice cream I can find. No in between. 

But I still have been considering getting an Xbox just as a new option of ways to waste time until the sun blows up, and I loved playing NHL 07 with Ovi on the cover. Crazy how 14 years later he's still at the top of his game, and the cover athlete once again. And it's so well deserved. Nobody has built up their status and reputation in the sports world quite like Ovi over the last few years. Has solidified himself as an all time legend.

Next though, we need to start giving the new kids the shine. McDavid, MacKinnon, Makar, and Pasta. Ovi and Crosby have paved the way for these new kids to now take the reigns as the faces of the NHL. And hopefully the NHL realizes they can't fuck this up, especially with McDavid. I'd say he's better at hockey than any player is at their sport right now, Mike Trout, LeBron, and Mahomes included. He's just that special.
