More hockey lingo. What is a 5-hole goal?

Scoring between the goalie's legs.

How are you liking the demo, Sega? I hope you are enjoying it. I stopped watching hockey for a while but just got back into the sport the last 2 years, thanks in large part to the NHL series. It really is a joy to play.

5-hole = between the legs

Hi there, anyone extremely happy about the user celebrations this year?

It is one of the best features they added this year. Very subtle but very nice! The spot shadow is great too!

You all know where I can go with this, right!? Must.........resist.........temptation.... (To myself)


I'm lovin the demo.Still toying around with all the controls and practicing my a$$ off. Cannot wait til release day!

I've never been this excited for an NHL release. In fact, I always stayed out of these threads before, just because I never followed the sport. That's all changed now, thank you EA Canada!

I'm happy about them. I take it that you've seen the one-handed fist pump celebration mapped to RB.

Yeah, love that one! The challenging thing is linking them together to see some ultra awesome celebrations.

One gripe I have is the players ridiculous puck control and stick handling skills. Hopefully this can be toned down somehow because it's unrealistic even for the superstars.
