Player with 83 checking knocks over player with 90 balance with only a bump!!

I feel like in '23, the person controlling Mckinnon would've simply held the puck to their forehand like this

while Fox's hit would've done absolutely nothing.. and McKinnon would've then LTd right in to the slot

Great clip. It showcases what SHOULD happen to players who abuse LT and who hold the puck on their forehand with impunity, knowing full well the hitting isn't balanced.

LMAO

Ya that wouldn’t work in EAs version of NHL unless Fox had Truculence. Without it, Mackinnon would just have to hold it toedrag, and Fox would just slide off the invisible force field bubble around Mackinnon and then be out of position giving up a goal

Even with truc there is probably a 50/50 chance you slide off. It should be EASIER to hit a guy from the side.. in this game it's not even possible sometimes..
