NHL 07 puts you in total command with a revolutionary new Skill Stick system. Never take your hands off the analog sticks as you take complete control of all skating on the left, and – for the first time in a hockey videogame – passing will use an intuitive motion on the right analog stick to execute with precision.

Look to your teammates and know how to best use their strengths with New Player-Specific Behaviors.

Off the ice, act as the General Manager in an enhanced Dynasty Mode. Do whatever it takes to meet an owner’s expectations by properly managing rosters and using your creativity to fit player salaries under the new cap.

National Hockey League (NHL) Teams
The league was organized on November 26, 1917, in Montreal, Canada, after the suspension of operations of its predecessor organization, the National Hockey Association (NHA), which had been founded in 1909. It started with four teams and, through a series of expansions, contractions, and relocations, the league is now composed of 30 active franchises. The nation to which the name of the league originally referred was Canada, although the league has now been binational since 1924 when it expanded into the United States. After a labour dispute that led to the cancellation of the entire 2004–05 season, the league resumed play under a new collective bargaining agreement that included a salary cap. In 2009, the NHL enjoyed record highs in terms of sponsorships, attendance, and television audiences.
The NHL draws many highly skilled players from all over the world and currently has players from about 20 different countries.[6] Although Canadians have historically constituted the majority of the players in the NHL, over the past four plus decades the percentages of American and European trained players have increased both because of the NHL’s continued expansion from six to thirty clubs since 1967, and the increased availability of highly skilled European players.
The End?
The hardest part? Trevor Linden, former team captain who was drafted by Vancouver in 1988 at the age of 18, spoke to the media the day before and would not reveal whether he intended to retire at the end of this season or not. He’s made his decision, but he’s keeping it to himself for the time being. He’s done this for the last three years and this past season the coach/owner tried to squeeze him out by offering him an insulting salary because he’s older they want new blood.
This man is treated like a God in Vancouver. He’s the face of the team and he is a genuinely wonderful human being and a ridiculously fantastic hockey player. If Chelios and Neidermeyer can stick around, there’s no reason Linden should be forced out.
And I’d really love to see him go out with a bang instead of a whimper.
