If somebody keeps doing the same move on you, then you have nobody to blame but yourself. Adapt your defensive strategy. Everybody has a different style of offense, and they will obviously stick to what works. When i play online, i play to win....not to make the opponent happy by not scoring. If my opponent is giving me a paved lane through the front of net, I will damn well take it.

Here are some examples of the whiners I experience online:
- When i score a slap shop from the point, it's called a "cheese goal"
- When i score a wrap-around, it's called an "exploit"
- When i cycle and pass out front for a one-timer, it's called a "exploiting one-timersl"
- When i score on a breakaway, it's called "camping"
the list goes on and is never ending...nobody likes being scored against, but whining about it isn't going to stop them from scoring on you.

If you keep letting your opponent skate across the crease, then there are serious issues with your defense. If you keep letting your opponent nail one-timers from one side of the net to the other, then your defense has issues. If you let somebody constantly score wrap-arounds, then your defense has issues.

Over half the people i play against always chase the puck, and that's where they get in trouble. Watch a real NHL game...it's all about positional defense...you rarely see a D-man rush the guy with the puck the moment they cross the blue line. Stick to the passing lanes and try to read the play.

if you don't understand what i'm trying to say in my post, then congratulations...you're an official punching bag for the better players to pad their stats.

THANK YOU.
