A couple gameplay notes

Player switching when defending the rush issue: When you switch control to a defenseman defending the rush, they pivot for no reason instead of continuing to skate the way they were already moving. It kills your momentum and lets the rush get by you. The defender should keep their skating direction/momentum when you take control, not reset into a pivot.

Can't glide issue: Holding the right stick to forehand or backhand kills all your momentum, in any scenario, not just when you're about to shoot. Should be able to carry speed instead of coming to a dead stop. I understand you want to stop the L2 pivots but that caused this problem to happen.
