RANKING NHL COVER ATHLETES WITH TY SMITH

The BarDown team is back with another tier list and this time they're ranking NHL Cover Athletes with the help of Ty Smith of the New Jersey Devils!

[@drewe5138]

I will never forget when Luca said, “Why would you name a team after a natural disaster? That’s stupid”

[@sky_b246]

The hurricanes slander is high with bardown

[@Reyrocksall]

Oh irony

[@ajiboy1919]

As an avalanche fan lol

[@hoexskip]

and then Z says, "Wait, AVALANCHE" and then Luca's like "oh, fuck" by far one of my favorite bardown moments

[@austintouchette8674]

Which video was that again?

[@TheNocturnTF]

"It should just be a picture of (Steven's) shoulder and that's all you see" Ah yes the Eric Lindros POV

[@coltonkruise]

That’s the version of the cover kariya, kozlov and lindros all got

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

[@mattyoung6474]

[@Matthews34]

Ty just hyping up his linemate on NHL 19

[@brendan9868]

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.

[@seangraham5011]

cant agrre more and that chris pronger one looks awful

[@NintenJoe09]

The JOFA bucket, the Squid jersey, number 69. Definitely the best. How dare they delete that magnificent cover athlete! Jess, you’re a beauty.

[@miroshkaheiskanen608]

Honestly, that cover actually looked sick

[@empiresportsmedia845]

The best bests

Where’s 2010??? Patty Kane skating towards the screen is legendaryyyy

[@nathanforsythe8480]

Right?

[@CallMehGoofy]

THANK YOU

[@JadenJDH]

Was probably “too offensive”

[@Krokodilius]

they finally put a leaf on a cover and it was some creepy, purple toned, digital thing.

[@chriskent4892]

With a small asf head lol

[@rileykazama3145]

The purple meshed very well with the blue

[@ewanmcgregorofficial3641]

Yeah just some bright ass neon purple background like what the hell was that.

[@NCY0131]

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?

I can't believe that NHL 2004 didn't end up on this list, just to be able to say 50 in 07.

[@elbowache]

Matthews' cover looks like the soundtrack is all Mack DeMarco and it comes with a dab for your vape.

[@brendan9868]

It might’ve actually been playable if it had a Mac DeMarco soundtrack and a free dab.

NHL 13 needs to be in the next one. GOATED

Young team lots of talent I think they will be decent

[@candypahua8140]

I love that “ferocity” is now a standard on the checklist.

[@daekry]

statistically, how did you even manage to leave Chicago off this list entirely?

[@caidenwhite8343]

i thought the same thing

[@gracied7636]

They do that a lot I’ve noticed

[@goalscoringgoon9896]

FACTS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 they technically have like 4 covers

[@NoahStew]

Chris Pronger looks like the villain in his own video game. I legit would love a 90s action film written for that cover

[@lindsayp.5511]

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.

[@michaelbrann7445]

How do u guys not have Kane or toews on here especially because they have been on the cover a bunch

[@kevinalexander6812]

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.

[@davidpiper9830]

“I don’t know that Tarasenko is the McDavid or Crosby,” Corwin says even though Crosby’s somehow never been on the cover

[@_SnipezZ_]

Crosby is super superstitious, The EA curse is probably why he has never been on the cover

[@ozzy0353]

Yeah Crosby is superstitious of the cover curse so he won’t do it

[@blueliner1542]

The EA curse really affected McDavid didn’t it.

[@ozzy0353]

@@blueliner1542 I don’t believe it, but Crosby does so it’s his choice

[@pillzy2393]

ty seems like a beauty and I think everyone wants to see a part 2!!!

[@joshlovely4696]

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.

[@bubbaloo8360]

Everyone forgets that Bergeron was on a cover. So much so that he wasn’t even ranked.

[@kimbanj3703]

NHL 04 Dany Heatley. Talk about forgetting...

[@ohnicotv]

“Doin the Subbanator Special” 😂

[@estellegrignon]

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

[@YeehawCowboy]

If I don't see Bergeron from the NHL15 cover in the next video it's on sight.

Almost 3 years later, still need that Jesse cover, lowkey sick 😂

[@bkjimena11]

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.

[@MuneyRo28]

I feel like so many covers are missing. As an Avs fan where is the 1998 Peter Foresberg and the 2004 Joe Sakic?

[@xaviermcquiston1604]

I honestly love the NHL17 cover. That one and Ovi's 2010 are great

[@JayCrosby32]

As a Penguins fan the Giroux cover from 2013 was pretty fire not even gonna cap

[@MathiasEggimann]

For the next bardown showdown can you guys have drunk goggles for the shootout

[@gregorois9038]

Nailed it on Hitz 2003. Best throwback game too. I wish 2k5 made the list though.

[@Lucasrobe]
