Trent: I wish they still had fights in this game so I could bitch-slap Wayne
Mike: What? They don't have fighting anymore?
Trent: Doesn't that suck?
Mike: Why'd they get rid of the fighting? It was the best part of the old version.
Sue: I think kids were hittin' each other or somethin', man.
Trent: Yeah but you know what, Mike? You can make their heads bleed in this one.
Mike: Make somebody's head bleed.
Sue: No man, we're in the playoffs.
Trent: I'm making Gretzky's head bleed for super-fan #99 over here.

too bad that quote wasnt factually written...
from wikipedia
NHLPA Hockey 93
The next release was titled NHLPA Hockey '93 and while having an NHLPA license, it did not have an NHL license. Due to the lack of an NHL license, the game included all player names and numbers but did not include real team names or logos. Instead, teams were identified by their city and colors. This meant that the New York Islanders (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Islanders) were referred to as "Long Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island)", even though the official name does designate the team as such. Also introduced were Tampa Bay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Lightning) and Ottawa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Senators) to the 22 teams of NHL Hockey. It was also one of the first non-RPGs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_role-playing_game) featuring EEPROM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM) battery saving, which allowed to save lines and the ongoing playoff, rather than use passwords (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_%28video_games%29).
The game also started a dispute between EA and the ice hockey ruling bodies over what could be included on the licensed game. In the game injured players often bled when injured, mis-aimed shots could break the glass behind the net, and the instruction manual (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_manual_%28computer_and_ video_games%29) made references to injuring opposing key players, stating "Player injuries — it's a part of the game. Knock key opposing players out of the game with an extra hard body check". Neither the NHL (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League) or the NHLPA approved these additions to the game, and thus fighting, and injured players were removed in the next version, NHL Hockey 94, since they were considered harmful to the sport's image.

I remember in the 2nd Griffey game they made for SNES if you were pitching and you took too long the batter would turn around and walk up to the screen and knock on it and give you the "what are you waiting for?" look. That was cool.
