Patrick Kane, Video Game Cover Boy

After helping the Chicago Blackhawks on a fantastic playoff run that ended in the Western Conference Finals, you'd think Patrick Kane would take a break. Not so for the young 'Hawks star. Yesterday, Kane helped EA Sports unveil the new cover for their upcoming NHL 2010 video game which prominently features him on the cover. Lookin' sharp, kid. We got a bit nervous when we first heard the news, but so far we can't find any evidence that the dreaded Madden Curse has ever carried over to the NHL so we think Kane's in the clear. Not that we believe in curses anyway. Ahem.

NHL 2010 is due out September 8th.
