Possible Historic teams rumor

I hope that is indeed true. I loved playing with all the historic teams in NHL 2K8 years ago on the PS2. EA had made crappy hockey games year after year after year after year; however, they finally won me over with NHL 11. Like any hockey video game, it has its problems; however, if you're good at tweaking the sliders/settings, you can eliminate most - if not all - of them.

I would love being able to play as the 1970s Habs, 1980s Oilers and Islanders and various international teams (1987 Canada and Soviet Union teams). It would be awesome to play NHL 12 with d-men such as Kasatonov, Orr, Potivn, Salming and Coffey. Snipe the corners with sharpshooters like Bossy and Kurri or put on a one-man show with Lemieux.

If EA would put historic teams in their games, it might help the younger generation of fans have more appreciation for the greatness of players like Kasatonov, Fetisov, Potvin, Orr, Salming, Tretiak, Holecek, Fuhr, etc.
