How is that 2k10 Ovi cover not the best, that cover is so sick. Cool design, young Ovi just doing his classic squat down and scream cellys with the missing tooth, flowing hair and yellow laces. Absolute icon. I never even played a 2k hockey game, but I see that cover and think I’m gonna be ripping fat slappers, absolutely bodying people on hits and doing some crazy diving goals.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ty Smith a few times in Spokane. I did the ceremonial first puck drop and shook his hand. One of the best days in my life so far. I hope to see him play in person again.
The crew: beautiful, clear picture quality Ty: *ABSOLUTE POTATO* Jk though, he doesn’t have a need for a camera Edit: Nvm it was only at the beginning where it looked bad.
Honestly, it's because the Bardown crew thinks the Blackhawks logo is racist. Even though it's absolutely not. Sucks too because I genuinely like probably 90-95% of their content. But I won't thumb up any more of their videos until they can it with the woke horseshit.
You guys HAVE to make a part 2. So many covers are missing! NHL 06 with Lecavalier, the sick Owen Nolan one, that time Marty Turco was on the cover of a weird offshoot series, some Blackhawks cover has to be there too... Plus, it would be cool to dig in the era where different EU countries would have their own athletes on it
Vasilevskiy should be the next cover athlete. Just won a cup, back to back veznia seasons, one of the best goalies in the league, plus if they added more goalie features they could tie it in with the cover.
2003 on the computer, i'm with Jesse on that. I played it so much. Me and a friend cranked the hits, speed and injuries to the top and injured players every game
From the Uk, don’t even watch hockey, no clue who any of these cover stars are or why this came up in my recommended but 21:40 onwards is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time
Part 2 here’s some covers you could do(listing not obvious ones) NHL Hockey 1980, Wayne Gretzky hockey 1991 he’s in his kings jersey, NHL Stanley cup 1993, Pro Sport Hockey 1993, Brett Hull Hockey 1993, ESPN National Hockey Night 1994, NHL All-Star Hockey 95’, NHL face off 1995, NHL Powerplay 96’, NHL Championship 2000, ESPN National Hockey night 2001, NHL Slapshot 2011, Backyard Hockey, NHL Rivals 2004.
Marissa looks beautiful as usual Jesse looking like a goofball corwin and looking like a mix of Tommy Oliver from power rangers and jeff Hardy from wwe you guys are awesome I always enjoy a bar Down video
Saying "I don't think there's a miss" when you don't even bring in the cover that started the single athlete cover with The Beezer in NHL 97, you missed the mark on that one. Awesome picture and where that style started for the EA series, and better then some of the others you had in the list
I will never forget when Luca said, “Why would you name a team after a natural disaster? That’s stupid”
The hurricanes slander is high with bardown
Oh irony
As an avalanche fan lol
and then Z says, "Wait, AVALANCHE"
and then Luca's like "oh, fuck"
by far one of my favorite bardown moments
Which video was that again?
Corwin filming an episode of Blue’s Clues 😂😂😂
Buttoned right up!!🤣🤣
I hope he doesn't go to College
@@thebandit0256 he’s definitely way out of college lol i didn’t understand this reply.
There's a episode which Steve leaves for College and Joe takes over for the rest of the series and the older fans despises that episode
@@thebandit0256 that episode ruined a childhood classic
Everyone makes out like Jessie’s opinions suck but he actually objectively has the best takes every time you do these videos
People get mad because he speaks the truth
*Jesse
He has the most hockey knowledge.
Straight up facts.
"It should just be a picture of (Steven's) shoulder and that's all you see"
Ah yes the Eric Lindros POV
That’s the version of the cover kariya, kozlov and lindros all got
"It had that cool feature where you couldn't lift the puck" freakin Corwin, that's hilarious
timestamp?
@@Alex-wt8zm 17:04
I love the Gretzky chirps, say it to his face Corwin
The JOFA bucket, the Squid jersey, number 69. Definitely the best. How dare they delete that magnificent cover athlete! Jess, you’re a beauty.
Honestly, that cover actually looked sick
The best bests
How is that 2k10 Ovi cover not the best, that cover is so sick. Cool design, young Ovi just doing his classic squat down and scream cellys with the missing tooth, flowing hair and yellow laces. Absolute icon.
I never even played a 2k hockey game, but I see that cover and think I’m gonna be ripping fat slappers, absolutely bodying people on hits and doing some crazy diving goals.
cant agrre more and that chris pronger one looks awful
Ty just hyping up his linemate on NHL 19
I love that “ferocity” is now a standard on the checklist.
Where’s 2010??? Patty Kane skating towards the screen is legendaryyyy
Right?
THANK YOU
Was probably “too offensive”
Ty Smith’s a beauty, he was great in the World Juniors last year and looks solid in the NHL this year. Hope he has a great career
they finally put a leaf on a cover and it was some creepy, purple toned, digital thing.
With a small asf head lol
The purple meshed very well with the blue
Yeah just some bright ass neon purple background like what the hell was that.
Jesse’s curls are looking fantastic
I had the pleasure of meeting Ty Smith a few times in Spokane. I did the ceremonial first puck drop and shook his hand. One of the best days in my life so far. I hope to see him play in person again.
The Jessie cover would be absolutely God Tier if it was just the photo of him in the Jets Jersey and no other photos
What bothered me was that he was tying his skates before he put his pants on. Who does that?
@@martiniboy1811 guys that wear number 69
Jesse. Jessie is how you spell it for girls.
@@MayonnaiseOreo Jessica Pollock
NHL 13 needs to be in the next one. GOATED
Claude Giroux>>>>>
Matthews' cover looks like the soundtrack is all Mack DeMarco and it comes with a dab for your vape.
It might’ve actually been playable if it had a Mac DeMarco soundtrack and a free dab.
Hope Devils have a better season next year
Young team lots of talent I think they will be decent
I can't believe that NHL 2004 didn't end up on this list, just to be able to say 50 in 07.
Chris Pronger looks like the villain in his own video game. I legit would love a 90s action film written for that cover
“Doin the Subbanator Special” 😂
statistically, how did you even manage to leave Chicago off this list entirely?
i thought the same thing
They do that a lot I’ve noticed
FACTS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they technically have like 4 covers
The crew: beautiful, clear picture quality
Ty: *ABSOLUTE POTATO*
Jk though, he doesn’t have a need for a camera
Edit: Nvm it was only at the beginning where it looked bad.
Pt. 9 of Marissa’s favourite word being “ferocity” 😂😂
How do u guys not have Kane or toews on here especially because they have been on the cover a bunch
Honestly, it's because the Bardown crew thinks the Blackhawks logo is racist. Even though it's absolutely not. Sucks too because I genuinely like probably 90-95% of their content. But I won't thumb up any more of their videos until they can it with the woke horseshit.
“I don’t know that Tarasenko is the McDavid or Crosby,” Corwin says even though Crosby’s somehow never been on the cover
Crosby is super superstitious, The EA curse is probably why he has never been on the cover
Yeah Crosby is superstitious of the cover curse so he won’t do it
The EA curse really affected McDavid didn’t it.
@@blueliner1542 I don’t believe it, but Crosby does so it’s his choice
This was amazing. Always love the BarDown content!
You guys HAVE to make a part 2. So many covers are missing!

Everyone forgets that Bergeron was on a cover. So much so that he wasn’t even ranked.
NHL 04 Dany Heatley. Talk about forgetting...
Vasilevskiy should be the next cover athlete. Just won a cup, back to back veznia seasons, one of the best goalies in the league, plus if they added more goalie features they could tie it in with the cover.
I feel like so many covers are missing. As an Avs fan where is the 1998 Peter Foresberg and the 2004 Joe Sakic?
As a Penguins fan the Giroux cover from 2013 was pretty fire not even gonna cap
Naslund: He’s gassed and wants a quick change. Lmao that was a good one
If I don't see Bergeron from the NHL15 cover in the next video it's on sight.
Fr
Almost 3 years later, still need that Jesse cover, lowkey sick 😂
No Heatley/Sakic 04 cover? I figured just for the talking points it would be in.
I honestly love the NHL17 cover. That one and Ovi's 2010 are great
ty seems like a beauty and I think everyone wants to see a part 2!!!
2003 on the computer, i'm with Jesse on that.
I played it so much.
Me and a friend cranked the hits, speed and injuries to the top and injured players every game
It is nice to see the cover for NHL 2K8 rated an 'A'. Jason Speeza was a clutch player when he was playing with the Sens.
I wanna see your guys nhl playoff predictions
Love his take on the Subban cover! You can tell the kids love playing with P.K.
How do you not include Toews or Kane??
For the next bardown showdown can you guys have drunk goggles for the shootout
The NHL14 Marty cover I had had his jersey in a cool, reflective material and I’d put it best ever
That Pronger cover though....it's like he's his own devil on the left shoulder telling himself to cross check the hell out of everyone.
NHL HITZ ‘03 gives strong early 2000’s UFC title card fight poster vibes
Corwin got the drip today 💧💧
Nailed it on Hitz 2003. Best throwback game too. I wish 2k5 made the list though.
Ty smith, other than pk subban is my favorite devils defensemaan
“Last iteration of a NHL 2K game”
The mobile game(also with Kes on the cover with the Ducks) would like a word with you, Saskatoon.
yo i remember that mobile game that shit was sick. i used to play it on my ipod during my break at work
Omg I will never forget the “foam” padding and man did it ever hurt putting it on way different in today’s helmets
2014 had the best shootout mode by far especially local/ at home
Please do a goal song tier list!
I LOVE this idea in theory…but something tells me they’ll just vote the Leafs to the best 😅 (Hall & Oates slaps tho no question)
So super hype that one of my favorite devils players is on a video
That Jesse Edition cover was so funny
Pronger be looking like Hayden Christiansen in episode 3 of Star Wars in the background of his cover lmao
That Auston Matthews look is the "oh i scored again" look
NHL Hitz Pro looking like the Animorphs cover😂😂😂😂😂
Bring back the quizzes please and thank you
Best all time is definitely Bergeron
ladies and gentlemen we found a wrong opinion
@@Coldvod it’s a joke
@@marcushunt7980 thank you I thought you were crazy for a second
y'all gotta do a nhl cover athletes quiz
NHL 13 is the best game with the best cover
Could we get a ranking of winter classic jerseys?
NHL BLITZ 2003 looks like a old NFL cover still to thus day to me
From the Uk, don’t even watch hockey, no clue who any of these cover stars are or why this came up in my recommended but 21:40 onwards is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time
Part 2 here’s some covers you could do(listing not obvious ones) NHL Hockey 1980, Wayne Gretzky hockey 1991 he’s in his kings jersey, NHL Stanley cup 1993, Pro Sport Hockey 1993, Brett Hull Hockey 1993, ESPN National Hockey Night 1994, NHL All-Star Hockey 95’, NHL face off 1995, NHL Powerplay 96’, NHL Championship 2000, ESPN National Hockey night 2001, NHL Slapshot 2011, Backyard Hockey, NHL Rivals 2004.
1:10 she wanted to speak but got cut off every time 😭
Lol
Literally every video she's in, she gets interrupted
I'm watching this tsn video and all the ads are for Sportsnet Now and its a real conflict.
I am appalled that you guys didn’t include NHL SLAPSHOT on the WII here. That is the GOAT hockey game
Nobody can convince me that Drury cover isn't just a picture of a bucket. It's legitimately all I see when I look at it.
Love the back to the future shirt lol
Honestly a crime that NHL 06 isnt on this list
That Animorph line killed me
Jessie’s shirt is definitely in a tier of its own
I'm starting to sense a pattern between this tier list and the mascots that the tiers are actually which is the most ferocious
I would've deleted the Hitz Pro cover instead of the Phaneuf cover, but no complaints other than that. I'd love to see a part 2 of this.
You guys should do a playoffs prediction
I like when Corwin hosts these :(
This video is fantastic, but I feel like the topic would've had good insights from DZ
NHL 10 and 17 are my favorite covers
Y’all disrespect bergy too much. Lol no hard feeling though
Has anyone else noticed how Sam looks A LOT like Braden Holtby?? Lol
as a devils fan i love to see this! he is the future of defenseman for team canada
Ty smith is a legend 🤩
Marissa looks beautiful as usual Jesse looking like a goofball corwin and looking like a mix of Tommy Oliver from power rangers and jeff Hardy from wwe you guys are awesome I always enjoy a bar Down video
Where are the rest of the covers? What was the criteria for games you chose?
Was Eric Staal the cover athlete of NHL 08?
Concensus states that if you put a Flyer on the cover of your NHL game it's instantly GOAT'ed that NHL 13 cover is 🔥
I'm a Pens fan but I have nostalgia for NHL 99 with Eric Lindros on the cover.
Where would you put NHL2K the one with Brendan Shanahan at
Saying "I don't think there's a miss" when you don't even bring in the cover that started the single athlete cover with The Beezer in NHL 97, you missed the mark on that one. Awesome picture and where that style started for the EA series, and better then some of the others you had in the list
18:30 Jesse with the casual finger
The Chris Pronger in the back looks like Anakin Skywalker
DO A GOAL HORN TIER LIST!!
The EA Sports voice guy is also responsible for the Geico Commercials!
I printed out the jesse cover and glued it over my nhl 21 cover.
Remember when these guys used to make quizzes
Gotta do Madden covers. The Madden curse needs to be talked about, and they were sick covers
NO NHL 04 DANY HEATLEY?!
Sam's the kinda gut who sorts his books by the colour of the cover.
