I have used stick lifts like 5 times in total over the years and I've gotten a penalty probably 3 of those. I will never ever recommend using em, no matter how confident you are.
Just need to learn to use it in in the right spots. Here's 2 gifs from the same game
opposing players skate with impunity, and even if they are successfully poked, 90% of the time they get immediate possession back
(in real life, when you pop a player's stick up, that means your stick is now closest to the puck. In EA NHL 26, you just take yourself out of the play so the offense can get the puck immediately back
Sometimes a stick lift can be executed and the puck leaves the reach of the player
58 GP -34 okayyyyyy. Now your takes make sense. Have a good one showtime
Oh okay. I get it. In spite of me posting endless GIFs doing things that others deem impossible, because I'm an adult who doesn't spend 6 hours a day playing this game, my "takes" are bad. 81 points in 58 games is pretty awful. Lord help me.
Always default to attacking me rather than posting in-game examples proving me wrong. Classic.
