The goalies are also broken. A 2-0 cross crease should work most of the time, goalies aren't lightning bolts. It seems EA has punished people who get 2-1's and 3-1's and 2-0's, because the goalies will almost 99% of the time save it.
Also, didn't EA say that you can just shoot and score in this game?
I played a game where Iggy came down the wing 5 times and each time Corey Crawford either saved it or he shot it wide. Really?

The poke check ought to be effective - the way the puck interacts with players/sticks this year is the best it has ever been. If you're finding it too difficult, go into the advance settings and change the settings to make the poke check less effective (there's an actual setting for just that).
I for one commend EA for their work on Goalie AI - their ability to read plays makes the game a heck of a lot more interesting. That said, I've scored on cross-crease goals, and I've been robbed on cross-crease chances. I've also caught the goalie out of position because he has cheated to attempt to stop a cross-crease pass.
Iginla was stopped 5 times, or he missed the net? That sounds reasonable to me. I like that you can actually miss the net, much more realistic.
