New defensive "lift the stick" to stop one-timers. Chance to get a five minute major if you miss "lift the stick" and end up hitting your opponent in the head.

Re: NHL09 First Look on Gamespot

Love what I'm hearing. Hopefully it is all implemented properly. These guys have a great track record though the past two years so I'm sure it will be. It is also very smart how the calculate on-ice success for players in be a pro.

It seems like the borrowed heavily from The Show's RTTS mode, which is a great thing.

Very cool - um, can you miss 'lifting the stick' on purpose?

Re: NHL09 First Look on Gamespot

Sounds great. Though I hate when game makers give a preview and say that they still have a massive awesome feature to reveal later on. It almost always ends up being a let down.
