If I may hijack your response to get on my (related) soap box...You are right that michigan goals are the result of not preventing them, like any other play really. My issue is they have been made too easy with Total Control. An extremely high skill play is now only a one button press which changes the feasibility of the move, which changes how often it shows up in games. As some who leans more toward the "realism" side of the Chel slider, I dont love that we have to setup our defensive schemes on the probability of a michigan every time a player goes behind the net.
How easy the lacrosse goal is to defend also depends on the mode you're playing. In club 3v3 games you risk opening up a lot of ice if you park yourself right on the post on the off chance the player skating behind the net with the puck might attempt it. And it doesn't really require any setup. You can trigger the lacrosse attempt skating full speed behind the net so if you park yourself on the post as the skater is going behind the net on the other side you're really committing yourself. 6v6 it's a bit easier since there's less space opened up by having a defender there.
Not saying it can't be defended, just saying it plays out differently in different modes.
