I've seen a lot of comments about this so I'll address it here. I will talk about it more in detail in tomorrows YT video. Context: Deciding 3rd game of a #NHL24WC qualifier playoff series. I enter the zone with 4 minutes to go in game which is a bit over minute in real time. I know Lauri Enström is playing protect net collapsing like he has the whole series. Like I always do in tournament games with this little time on the clock I start circling and killing time, seeing if Sopuli overcommits or something opens up, like I always do at the end of tournament games when I'm leading. Around a minute left in game I get full pressure on and at this stage I know the game is basically over cause Sopuli can't change his players to be more aggressive mid cycle and your players are dead during full pressure (and it lasts 30 seconds in real time). What makes this clip stand out is the 5-1 in front of his net with 30 or so seconds remaining 😅 But again why would I need to try to score here explaining everything I just did? I would just give Sopuli a free change to tie the game. With full pressure added I personally play with aggressive own zone strategies just to avoid stuff like this in 24, of course you can still try to rag the pressure on with how the AI is but it's way harder at least. I'm not saying it's nice or fun or whatever, and I totally get if people don't like it, but I would do the same thing every single time in an important tournament game.
