HE DID IT! Great job everybody.Good team effort



Not sure who to vote for on the other side of the bracket.

[isleskovalchuk]

woooooo JT final 4!

[SaintTavares]

I say vote for Malkin, that way if its JT vs Malkin hopefully all the canadiens will vote for us thanks to that anti russian bias

[KrisBeKreame]

Did anyone see Matt Martins Tweet pic last night of his vote for john on the john? A picture of him on the toilet voting?

Congrates everybody, Outstanding work.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Not only that but people might have something against the Penguins just because they are the Penguins.

[PWJunior]

Ok, one battle down and 2 more to go. Isles fans may be small in number, but we are passionate. Back to voting.

[jmg27]

This is great! Say what you want about the mess of a team but Islander fans are just awesome. Truly have a great dedicated fan base. Lets keep it going and get him on the cover.

[SaintTavares]

Everyone should be votting now!!!

[13th Floor]

At about 100 so far today. Need to get in my licks today as work is the best time to do this. Not going to be vote over this long weekend at all.

[NYI365]

Great job everyone!!!! I probably logged a total. Of around 1200-1500 votes in the last round, but it was worth every painful hour!!! Lets get JT to the finals!

[88th Precinct]

VERY glad to see how this turned out!!!

[John TavArt Ross]

I can't believe he won! Awesome.. back to voting. Now I have no excuse

[nyscene]

Already voted a bunch of times today.

Now we can rub the results in this guy's face:

That’s right, our very own Datsyuk is up for the cover of NHL 13. Right now he’s battling John Tavares of the New York Islanders. It should be easy to beat an Islander right?

[SaintTavares]

So i guess we should be appealing to St louis, columbus, and chicago fans to vote for JT with us?

[JTforPres2012]

Really looking forward to seeing what Tavares has to say about this. Really excited

Haha here's a comment from that article:

If Datsyuk deserves it SO much over JT then why has he never beat Tavares head-on? The last time the Red Wings beat the Islanders John Tavares was what- fifteen? sixteen? LOL

Well done guys.

We love to troll Detroit. They win Stanley cups yet they cannot seem to beat us in anything recently. I have a ton of respect for the franchise but I am looking forward to next seasons blowout win. Let just hope they realize its the ownership on LI, not the fans.

Keep up the votes. I suspect Nashville is playing a game with Isles and Rags fans getting us to turn on each other hoping it will result in double support for them. This round will be tough.

Wasn't that Dylan Reese? Hilarious though.

[LetsGoIslanders]

Tavares may very well win provided he can get past Rinne.

Think about it, most hockey fans, provided they aren't in Pittsburgh or Philly, hate those two teams (or at least one of them).

[HammyNyIslesCupCrazy]

I have a feeling the Isles knew last night who had won:

NYIslanders ‏@NYIslanders
That's how you finish strong #Isles & #Preds fans! & all #NHL fans supportin our boys in #NHL13Cover! @EASPORTSNHL gives results in 10 hours

This is great, I've gotten in a little over a hundred votes this morning. Let's not rest, this is a HUGE day of voting considering people won't be able to commit as much time to voting this weekend. Let's get after this!

[Team Houda]

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! So huge to get past a player of Datsyuk's caliber and a high-end hockey brand like the Red Wings! Coming right back to vote again in the next round is like coming off of a rough 7 game series, but we have to get it done again. Hopefully we get a ton of votes in early, as things could get weird with voting over the long holiday weekend. Make sure to sneak away from the pool a few times to get in some extra votes.

[Paulinho]

Everyone needs to vote Malkin... we need Canada fully backing JT.

[Homeland Security]

Great work guys/gals! Keep it going!
