On a 3-on-4 rush, the insanely bad and passive AI allows the puck carrier to waltz into the slot untouched.  The forwards both cover one guy along the boards and the defencemen just keep backing in.

@Jagavekov right on with this post. I win the majority of my games online vs. But I have to play knowing the AI is going to be a nuisance more than anything. Besides just being zombies on ice, I have to assume they'll never be in a positionaly common sense area and that they'll more than likely just run into me when trying to set up a play. Probably the most frustrating part of the game.
