Finding an EASHL game in under 5 minutes last night on NHL 24

So have tried and tried and tried to play eashl on NHL 25. It fails Everytime. We find a team of 5 or 6, we keep searching and searching, never finding a game. The squad disbands. So we say whatever, wouldn't it be funny if NHL 24 we could find a match. So we hop on 24, find teammates , and we find a 5v5 WITHIN 3 MINUTES. 

This is insane. It's honestly laughable at this point. NHL 24 it is for this year it appears.
