This is with 97 defensive awareness and gold quick pick. Slow pass, I'm backskating looking up ice, anticipating pass knowing it's gonna go through me but wanted to capture the video to show why you never aggressively risk cutting the lane.
The instant you're about to intercept the puck, you decided to trigger a body check. You can tell because your player is holding their arm in the body check animation as you turn around.
Bruh... Do you know what a hitting animation looks like? Not that. That's a pivoting animation. My skating animation is stick up as high in the air, that's why as I turn and skate it stays consistent. Am I hitting and turning with a hit at the same time?
Also if it was a body check you'd a)see both my arms throw out together and b)some type of movement from my skates in a direction.
Here's what a hit looks like, notice how it looks nothing similar, look at the stick, look at the arms:

You can still hold body check during a pivot, which is what you did here

You don't "throw both (your) arms" when holding body check. Your arm raises. The 'shove' only happens on the release.

It's not what I did and you wouldn't know because you didn't play the game. You're making the wrong assumption because you're blindly defending the game and your stance.
