@JammalammalamKeep in mind that the biggest challenges for bad players have always been to not skate into people and lose the puck and to find the open passes.
This year the game was made to suit and reward their style so of course there are going to be a bunch of happy players. By and large however, the competitive community is pretty sick with the current gameplay.

once again, you skate directly at the puck carrier hitting poke check and you get caught
Here is you should defend that:
In this video, teal should've used body check. Instead, hits DSS, decides not to and then mashes poke check again.
what's funny about this is that if teal ended up with the puck here after mashing and blindly poke checking, you'd likely have no issue with how it turned out.
