the guys in our club played NCAA hockey, two were D1, one played pro and they all coach now. Pretty sure the guys know hockey and what's a good sim/represention of the game and what isn't hahaha.

whoa whoa relax here buddy. Nobody is attacking your team of experienced hockey players who seemingly spend their days playing videogames now. No need to get all defensive about your hockey knowledge. This is a videogame.

This year EASHL is the furthest it's ever been from representing hockey lol.

Yep there's issues with poke check and Wheels can seem OP for defenders who allow them to skate in a straight line. But it represents the sport well if you adapt. Remember, this is a videogame.

Same goals everywhere to a ridiculous extent (yes, we score them too). It's boring. It's not dynamic

Then try scoring other kinds of goals! Remember, this is a videogame. You're allowed to try different things than what the META has convinced you only works. With such experienced and professional hockey players on your EASHL team, you should be far more dynamic in your attacks than every other team. Why is your team of professional hockey players not imploring various different strategies to score various different kinds of goals?

Go look on Twitter, reddit, every social under the sun and here. Everyone is saying it.

No, not everyone is saying it. Your algorithms have figured out that you enjoy and otherwise engage with content that revolves around people who dislike this videogame. And if spending time on Twitter (puke), Reddit and other social media platforms is your thing, then it's no surprise you have the perspective "everyone" hates the game. That's the cruel nature of social media - it makes you think reality is a certain way when really you're just being manipulated for engagement.

Would love to hear more about your defensive techniques that's very interesting. 

A team of professional and elite college level hockey players should know more about defensive techniques than this beer league hero.
