NHL 13 Cover Vote: Claude Giroux Is Only Logical Choice

Any logical fan must vote for Philadelphia Flyers center Claude Giroux over Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne for the cover of NHL 13. 

The NHL 13 Cover Vote is down to just those two, and if Giroux doesn't win in a landslide, there is something wrong. 

The 24-year-old Giroux had a wonderful season in which he broke out as one of the true stars of the league.  

He was third in the league in scoring with 93. He is also a charismatic player that is involved in the community. This led to Giroux winning the Wanamaker Award.

He is an intense and fearless leader. His game and personality screams hockey. He is also from the big market and passionate fanbase otherwise known as Philadelphia.

He is the perfect cover boy for the sport's most notable video game franchise. 

Meanwhile, Rinne is a goaltender, and there is a reason that netminders seldom get prominent spot in promotions. It is hard to see any personality from a keeper. They hardly move and they are stuck behind a giant mask all game. 

Rinne will get his share of votes in this competition, but that is only because he has the backing of some illogical individuals. See:

Winning is something that Rinne will not do in this cover vote. At least I hope he doesn't.
