I'm not sure about that.
Admittedly I haven't played this game nearly as much as others because I only rented it for 2 weeks. But in that time I saw a wide variety of goals.
Lots of tips, deflections, rebounds and clean goals.
And the puck is very 'live'. It feels very organic and you'll see it flip and flop over sticks and bounces off of feet, sticks, etc. That helps with the variety of goals you'll see.

The main thing that prevented me from wanting this long-term was how whack the Franchise stats are.
Guys like Crosby struggle to get 60 points and terrible teams make the playoffs with the stronger ones struggling to make the postseason.

But I think as far as a pick-up-and-play game, NHL10 is worth the price. Especially now that it's $39.99 CDN at Wal-mart.
