2K sports for the freakin' win.
Ice Hockey for the NES is still the best though.
EA Sports NHL '94 has never been matched.
1. NHL '94 - EA Sports
2. NHLPA '93 - EA Sports
3. Faceoff 2001 - 989
4. NHL '98 - EA Sports
5. NHL '97 - EA Sports
6. Blades of Steel - Konami
Those are the ones I've played enough to have firm opinions about.

I haven't played the most recent NHL 2K7, or EA Sports NHL 2007, so I wouldn't know which is better.
The ones I've played are:
Ice Hockey (NES)
Blades of Steel (NES)
Wayne Gretzky Hockey (NES)
NHL '94 (SNES, PC)
Stanley Cup Hockey (SNES)
NHL 2K4 (PS2)
yep, huge gap in gaming consoles there :p
I've always been an EA Sports fanatic, and have '97-'02 for PC and NHL '03-'06 for Game Cube, and now that I have a "strong" PC again, I got NHL '07 for PC, and have been extremely impressed with the graphics and gameplay thus far!

I've played NHL games 94-99, 2000-2002 and 2004. So far my favorite NHL game is NHL 2001. I thought that one improved quite a lot from NHL 2000 and was fun to play. In NHL 2002, the goals were way too luck-based, I never played NHL 2003 since I heard it was quite bad and I didn't like NHL 2004's system at all (in the PC version). I haven't really played any NHL games after that.
