OK sorry it took a while to reply - it's been a long break for me between NHL versions and I forgot you can even set the defense pressure.
So I checked, and 2 things:
1) is it intentional that you can only set D pressure at very specific windows, like not during gameplay the way you can with offensive strategies? it's REALLY weird/annoying.
2) the default for me in EASHL seems to be "collapsing" - so that's what it was for these videos. That said, after you reminded me I could change those, I did tinker with it and it still happened also with "staggered". Can I change my EASHL team's defaults (for all strategies, O and D) so I don't have to fight with this every game, btw? That sure would be nice.
Thanks
This has been a problem for years. Unless there is an overhaul to cpu logic, you're stuck with heading over to the boards to get them back in to position
