The only two gripes I can think of off the top of my head are the effectiveness rate of stick lifts (I'm sure there are times when a person is actually strong on their stick, and it does not get lifted over their head)...actually also with stick lifts, the player that gets their stick lifted just stops skating...I'm not a huge fan of that. I'm ok with them losing immediate control of the puck, but they should at least keep skating.
Also, with diving, it's ok when the person actually gets the puck, but having your player stumble almost every time a stick contacts skate is frustrating, especially with a player 5 feet behind you, ruining your breakaway.

Thanks for the opportunity Jobo!
