In OTP there is absolutely no incentive to hit unless you're playing for 'style points' like I often do. Frankly, Nick Lidstrom hockey blows sometimes.
If you're going to enjoy the fruits of having 92 dekeing, I should reap the benefits of having 92 checking, and that means putting you out for a few minutes, or even the game, if you're playing Trevor Letowski hockey.
I am pumped about the ability to go low this year. Hopefully there is a 'blown MCL' animation.

to me this is a big thing. though there is reportedly intimidation, it really sucks that physical play is not rewarded. without injuries or fatigue in the eashl, checking is almost worthless. i can get rocked all game long and not even care. heck, it often pays to just stand along the boards and wait to get hit in hopes of drawing a penalty.
