NHL 12-Who are you going to start a franchise with?
Who are you going to start a franchise with?
Game comes out on Tuesday and I plan to get right in to a new season. I like to play as an underdog/weaker so that I can build them up and use their prospects. Right now Im torn between NYI, Edmonton and Colorado.
Either my team (Detroit) or Anaheim. I doubt I'll be starting a franchise right off the bat though.

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
I might try one with the Leafs. Always fun to play as the favourite team.
LA also jumps to mind.
"We've had a couple shakers in this place. This year we haven't had the time. We had a couple good ones last year, right?" - Phil Kessel
The Chicago Blackhawks - but I'm putting all of my fantasy players on them. Here are my lines:
B.Ryan-J.Thornton-Nash
Vanek-Backstrom-Semin
Parise-E.Staal-P.Kane
Cammalleri-Spezza-Hemsky
Enstrom-Yandle
E.Johnson-Chara
Karlsson-Pietrangelo
Rask
Markstrom

I always pick the Habs and do a full fantasy draft to determine my roster. Fun stuff, can't wait!

So who's the first legend you're adding to your squad? I'll probably go with Ray or Chelios.

Plus the owner doesn't expect you to win a lot of games early on either when you start with a weaker team
I will be starting with the Wild, because they are also my hometown team.

For some reason (ahem Stamkos) I always start a franchise with Tampa Bay
But I have really taken a liking to playing with the CHL teams. I cannot wait to play with the Sarnia Sting (although I know their rosters will be totally wrong from what they should be)
I usually start with the oilers but often end up doing one with the kings, islanders as well.
The Winnipeg Jets!
I usually just buy NHL once per console generation, but I have to get NHL 12 now that the Jets are in it. Can't wait to get a season started!
