can you play 2 player co op in nhl online mode ?

ive been playing online co-op with my friends for years. We are hoping to have a "be a gm" mode playable online or to be able to play hut online co-op.

Instead this year we got zero co-op. I would not have purchased the game had I known this would be missing. In protest I will not buy anymore HUT packs, and will not buy next years game until online co-op is added. Shame on us for letting EA get away with this.
