Shoving in front of the net
Been running into a lot more instances while playing defence and attempting to use the shove function to clear the front of my net only to have little or no effect on offensive skaters. Sometimes it's like they jumped in a tub of lard pre game and just slide through all contact or when you do make contact there is hardly any noticeable impedance to the offensive skater, see the clip below. I assume this is mostly due to connection but I'm wondering if there is more to it than that? How is it that some skaters just don't seem to be targetable with this function? This isn't all the time but definitely been noticing it enough lately it's got me scratching my head.

In contrast here is the effectiveness of my shove at the other end of the ice, my way of letting my teammates know they should pass better.
