Kicked for poor team play (goalie)

Please adjust being kicked for poor team play, especially for goalies. I got kicked for poor team play as a goalie when the other team got a penalty and I tried to skate off the ice for the extra skater. This NEEDS to be fixed. It’s part of hockey

    Hey there. If this happens again, can you get me a video of it? Also, it would be good to see what your grades are at the time. Thanks!

      It kicked me from a club game because my controller died and had to replace the battery. I was back and carrying the puck when it kicked me. 

  • This "feature" has to go.  There's nothing more ridiculous than being kicked from your own club (especially as goalie for the auto-loss) for having a bad game.

      We need more details on this. You should only be getting kicked if your teamplay grade drops to an F. That happens when you skate out of the net, cause penalties, etc. As always, video/screenshots would help as well.

  • There shouldn't be the ability to be kicked from club games to begin with. Kicking for poor teamplay makes sense in drop-ins because you get more random idiots in that mode. But, clubs is guys who either know each other or are league players trying to scrim. Just remove kicking from club games entirely.

      Yes but it is BECAUSE of the new drop in mode introduced last year that allows someone like myself for example, to join a random clubs game and be their fifth or even 6th man at times that they have this feature. It's simple, stop being an idiot, I have had 4 penalties in a game and STILL didn't get kicked. If you are getting kicked than you were doing something really stupid and probably deserved it. I will agree though that private games/scrims should be the exception to this and I actually believe that to be the way it is currently setup but cannot confirm this information. 

  • It’s happened to me before too. In 3’s as a goalie. Pulled myself when our opponents had a delayed penalty and I got kicked lol.

    My team was up 9-2 in the third. I came out to play the puck and as I was skating back to the net it kicked me. It's one thing to pull the goalie. But kicking the connected player and then docking the team with a loss is a bit too much. If this continues to be a thing in the game can the goalie get benched and just sit like it's a penalty in the box or something?
