Goals From Defensemen

[pf8363]

Are you guys getting any? I'm getting tons of goals that result from point shots, but they are always either deflections or rebounds, and are therefore credited to my forwards. My defensemen never score goals!

I've gotten a couple, and i've only played about 7 or so games thus far. One thing i'm noticing is that when I send the puck on a cross ice pass from one D man to another along the blue line for a one-time shot the guy receiving the pass takes a wrister for his one-time shot instead of winding up for a slapper like in years past. The control scheme must be a bit different and I need to probably work on it.

I played my whole first season with the Rangers, Del Zotto had 16 goals Staal 7 most came off PP could get space in slot skate up and fire away.

When I play online, it's too hard to set up a slap shot at the point. Opposing players can easily poke it away and score on a break away. So, I rarely score from the point with my defencemen. The only way I seem to score is by a fluky wrist shot from the point or a dman that joins the rush.

19 Games in my Be a GM, Lidstrom has 18 assists and 1 goal.

Lilja has 1 goal.

That's about it.

So far I've played just the pre-season. Bergeron scored 2 or 3 (I can't remember), Yandle scored 1, Jovanovski scored 1. Think that's about it on goals from them.

Through 26 games...

Seabrook has 4 goals, Keith has 2, Campbell has 2, Hendry, Hjalmarsson and Boynton have 1. So in total I have 11 goals from defensemen. So yes, I am getting them.
