And here is what happens when you should just give up on defense because why even bother when offense can play as bad as they want. Pokecheck is bad to start it off with, then they pass it directly to me twice and both times I don't get control (but you know they would if they received the pass of course):

You DID gain control:

Then proceeded to skate directly into your opponent who poked it away from you.

And again, if that's an offensive player there's zero forced slow pickup animation. When you put all of those stats and perks and you can't pick up something clean while offense can 100% of the time it's ridiculous.

"Hey it took a full second to accept the puck while guys are skating at you, that's good enough!”
