You're playing for Toronto. That's the problem.

EDIT - On a more serious note, it's probably because you're more used to the lack of aggresiveness by the WHL D. As a power forward in the WHL, I'm able to literally stand in front of D for half the length of the offensive end before they realize they need to poke check the puck from my stick.
