I experience a 1–2 second delay after a face-off when controlling a defenseman; the player doesn’t take a slap shot immediately upon receiving the puck—let alone a one-timer straight off the draw—but instead hesitates for a moment before even raising his stick. I’ve brought this up and even shared a video here previously, but it seems we players just aren’t being listened to...
I showed that video of yours to a former NHL player, and he said that he has done the same thing on the power play—it’s a perfectly normal situation to take a shot from there when there’s space and a screen in front. That’s just part of the NHL.

yea I seen that to in real NHL games but I think the question is- why can't the human player do that? I've tried but every time my player first grabs the puck then shoots. I am left D if that makes a difference
