@Tigidooh I'm not against it being in the game as it has real life application as well, but EA has clearly allowed blatant abuse of the tool. When it was first introduced if you went for a hit against somebody that pinned themselves to the board, it would auto initiate a pin so players couldn't cheese avoid getting hit. That feature is gone now, and they also made it wayyyyyy more difficult to pull the puck out of skates along the boards so everything favours the person with the puck on this play.
If a player glitches their stick through the boards. There are no options other than pressing them against the boards. If you poke check - tripping penalty. If you stick lift - slashing penalty. If you hit - boarding penalty.
The only viable option is to press your opponent into the boards and have your teammate(s) fish the puck out.
Except it is broken and doesn't work half the time.
