Cross Crease Defense/Goaltending
Would love to see something like this implemented into the game.

If the standing hug post had the stick more in this position it would help deflect some of the passes that came too tight to the net, it would also be nice for the poke check from the standing hug post to be able to poke check in this way as you could potentially make contact with the puck that is being sent into the slot from the corner. This could potentially make the standing hug post more of an option as I find its use as is very under whelming.
Id also maybe like to add the standard poke check be more of a stagnant animation and not this repeated animation over and over, if i hold the right stick up, it would be nice if the poke check stayed out and flat to the ice in the butterfly, this would essentially break up more dekeing movements as it would cause the skater to choose a side instead of being able to continuously move if the poke isnt timed perfectly. Just some ideas I was thinking about.
Cheers.
