NHL '13 and the Hercules Check

Hip check + line change = well, just watch...

And who said penguins couldn't fly? It's like watching "Goon" without Jay Burchel acting like a masshole. OK, so maybe it's not as violent as say, chasing down the opposing team with a mace like in Mutant League Hockey, but you gotta admit, it's pretty impressive watching these guys fly through the air.

With the NHL now five weeks deep in a lockout, hits like this are the only hockey highlights you'll be watching on YouTube for a while. EA's NHL '13 set franchise records after it's release earlier this month, and with hits like this, it's not hard to see why.

According to EA, NHL '13's sales are up 9% compared to NHL '12, and more than 3.7 million online games were played in the first week since the game's release.

Someone tell me if there's a video of someone hercules checking Gretzkey, or if I have to settle for watching Vince Vaughn in "Swingers" so I can see little Wayne's head bleed. But then, that's not so much Vaughn as it was Roenick, he's good.

NHL 13 is out now for the PS3 and XBox 360. Make sure you check out Juan's review here!
