To get back on topic has anyone else noticed that if you are able to put a few solid checks on the cpu in the demo that they tend to get a bit more sloppy with their decision making? Ringing it around the boards for inaccurate passes trying to avoid the forecheck and in general it leading to more turnovers by the cpu in their own end? Or am I just seeing things.
If the teams have individual playing styles than neither the Wings or Pens are great examples of dump and chase teams, especially Detroit, they pretty much define that puck possession style of play.

I know I've had the Pens third line dump it in on me a decent amount, even Crosby's line a couple times. Detroit though will hang on to the puck at all costs, don't think I've seen them dump it in once.
