This video through the NHL Network documents Ryan Kesler’s experience suiting up for EA Sports in their computer fun house. Some entertaining stuff in here, including giving his brother a beating to simulate a fight. He also does a goal celebration for them to record, and Canucks fans will spot the joke in that move pretty quick…

It is very cool, but I don’t know if I’d want to do it. Something about it seems so awkward. Like those shots of him fighting, where it looks like he’s punching air. I’d look even stupider, no doubt. 
What I’d prefer is almost the opposite thing—a simulation where they can put my head on one of those guys and give me footage where it looks like I’m the one playing hockey, scoring goals and generally kicking ass in the NHL. Now that would be cool!

Loved the “Robin Hood” goal celebration! Haha

For us non-Canuck fans, explain the “Robin Hood” joke, please!

I’d like to see Kesler do that in an actual game. Don Cherry’s head would explode

well i am surprised even EA is cutting back….no real ice? Keslers footwork would be completely different…and why didnt the other guy wear a padded helmet and just let him punch for real?
anyway they still make the best game BF2 !!!.....nothin like firing those tv guided missiles haha!!
