Grats man!

My only tournament win against Canada was in a shootout.
Vokoun was my goalie and he stopped all 3 shots, and I scored the only SO goal with Chara. I skated straight at the goalie (Brodeur I believe is Canada's goalie in the demo) stopped about half way and blasted a slapshot into the top right corner.
Then you get to restart the tourney all over again, and I lost my first game

This can be done even when you're defending! I haven't succeded in using it in a good way yet, but yesterday I played a few matches on locked positions, and I just skated around without the puck, charging for a slap shot... I just never got the puck in a good position to shoot! XD I noticed it by accident, and haven't read about it on the forums. Now I'm scared to look like fool here, considering the many hours I spent on NHL 9 & 10. But is this something new to the series? Pls tell me so.

Very interesting. I've been trying to find little oddities like this in the demo. I have to try this. May make for some crazy moments around the net in my zone.

Hahaha, ironically, I actually beat Canada in a shootout too yesterday. My goalie was Vokoun and I beat them 1-0.

The other times I've played in Canada in a shootout, my goalie was Luongo or Kipper.

Absolutley, I didn't have time to play any this weekend, but will do this week, and soon the retails version gets out.

I can especially see it useful when playing with friends, offline or online, as they probably could read your move better than the CPU team mates and deliver a pass for the perfect one timer.


WOW-moment?
