In 08, when you let a slapshot go, it would just rip by goalie is ring it off the post. Same with a wrist shot, there just isn't that much velocity on the shot. Now, a slap shot kind of looks like a floater by comparison. Maybe it's just me.

I like that actually..in 08 every shot was way to hard and accurate. In 09 its a little more rare to really get a hold of one. I also like that hitting posts are toned down and shooting wide is more frequent.
Just the other day I rifled a slapshot off the crossbar with Iggy, and it seemed like a cool play..but in 08 it never would've stood out because I'd do that at least 5 time a period.
