What tools are the defenseman left with???
Please give us the stick check and an effective poke check back..
I'm running 90 stick checking with the poke perk as well and my stick never makes contact!! They just blow right by it like it's not there.
Terrible game for D.
Totally agree. They have put too much emphasis on the forwards game, and it has resulted in a very lacklustre defensive game. And as was the case in 25. The hitting is deplorable. Why they continually take elements out of the game that worked. Is beyond me.
Yeah its like they are untouchable 🤷♂️You can do whatever you want with your Stick, sometimes nothing at all is stopping them.
Community ManagerHi there. I agree poke checks need a boost. However, they have been working pretty well for me when using Stick em' up. The problem I'm noticing is that the puck is picked up again easily. We are currently investigating this so hopefully, we'll see an improvement.
Stick lifts are a different issue though. I don't think I've had one work yet. That too is being looked into.
If you're pokes are making contact with the puck, but not having any affect, get a video of it for me. I'll pass that on to the team for review. Thanks
