No loss of power of player on other team 6 mins on ice

How can a player on a line be carrying a pocket around the net back-and-forth twice on the ice, but their power doesn’t go away. It stays at half strength…..

 I don’t understand it…. I just played a person that toews can skate for 6 mins up and down the ice and proceed to skate all the way around and his energy level stays half full?   

I have a video…. And I wasn’t just his player other players on the team extended periods of time out there, but don’t get any energy loss more than half….. meanwhile my team skates up the ice level and back once and they’re gassed…. 

someone explained that to me that you can carry the puck that much and not get any energy loss

    Hi there. At :22 you can see his energy was almost full. At :52 he's under half. They are spending energy in this case. Also, they aren't being hit and they don't look like they're hustling. So, they're most likely gliding off-screen and getting energy back. I'm not seeing any issues here.

    There are a couple of times you're double teaming the carrier. This means you're pulling one of your players out of position and expending additional energy. That's going to cause more energy loss. Try to make sure you're switching to the player that can best make a play. You're frequently letting the AI play D while you chase the carrier. This leaves more open ice for your opponent to find good passing/shooting lanes. Switch to the player that can best defend the play rather than committing 2 players to covering the carrier.

     It's also good to cover the puck. I get that you want to keep the action going, but this comes at the expense of tired players. Which means their ability scores drop. Let your goalie freeze it so you can get fresh legs on the ice.
