NHL 08 Trailer:

IGN wrote a review on their first impressions of NHL 08.  They said that it is the most realistic hockey experience to date, "NHL 08 truly gives the game a next generation feel in skating, playmaking, improvisation, and flow."  They also added some screenshots which you can check out here; the graphics are mind-blowing.

EA Sports added some new NHL 08 screenshots which feature the new jerseys of the Boston Bruins, Washington Capitols (who are returning to their old logo), and  Carolina Hurricanes.  You can see those screenshots here.

EA Sports has name Hurricanes center Eric Staal as the cover athlete for NHL 08.  Here is a picture of the cover art:

EA Sports has chosen to focus on the following elements of the game for NHL 08: enhanced skill stick options for one on one situations, improved skating and defense control, a lag free online experience, and real hockey drills replace mini-games.

Here are a bunch of screen shots from NHL 08.
