Yes. I get what they're saying. I'd be willing to bet this happens more often than once a year. Pro players know how to aim deflections. I really don't think it's unrealistic to have this in the game. If it weren't there, we'd get complaints that players aren't reaching for the puck in these situations.

I agree this is absolutely an issue of defensive positioning. If you were to watch LG games, there are rarely ever cross crease attempts, because they aren't available. Good defenseman understand that a cross crease pass is an extremely high percentage chance, in real life and the game, and take this opportunity away.
in the event that a pass makes it through, there is nothing unrealistic about using one hand to tap the puck in.
