" it just needs to work properly." that's where the unknown begins.
1) you're a d-man. the opponent without puck rolls close. You don't have a way to do anything while he's on the move. Triangle (start net battle, working on a stationary opponent, and even then it's useless), lifting stick working on a stationary opponent. Block stick no tools.

And yes, you moves step by step, for interception you must be super accurate. for lifting, you have to be super precise. to push, you have to be. super gentle.
And the attacker just needs to have a big tipper or press up.

if the incidental contact slider was actually utilized in online sliders we could see legitimate picks and box outs...i see them all the time when playing nhl 20 with my sliders. they key to balancing these sliders out would be to slow the game down from mach 4 to real life online which woudl never be okayed by the 6s community who like their 0-5 trap games with 3 clipping/horrid bounce goals a game experience - and the hut community also wouldnt like this as the game would actually be hockey instead of running back simulator with ice skates as they only see plays in the present moment and dont understand how the sport actually flows. 

this game...well nhl 20 at leaast...can look beautfiul offline. weight and speed mattering...preparedness mattering...incidental contact being a thing which can interupt breakouts and forechecks...even rebound chances and whatnot...

this game online is like a not fun nhl hitz and only shows about 5% of the potential...switch back to nhl 20 before the hut-requested ai super nerfs were implemented which totally destroyued the offline experience and youll see that theres a brave new world of legitimately enjoyable nhl...takes some time and work but its there...hopefully they get back on track before the next genc onsoles release
