Nice impressions Sharp3500 - I feel the same way.

Granted, I only played 2 games (see two periods), but I've liked what I've seen.
First, the puck physics seem to be improved. It's a lot livelier.
Also, I'm really digging the body checking physics. Numerous times I've forced guys into a small stumble, or simply pushed them over, while players like Chara react to a hit from a smaller player like I would a mosquito.

The game seems to be a lot grittier with more puck battles and loose pucks.

I know it's a small sample, but after 2 periods of play, I'm more excited for the retail version than I was before.
