Honestly you just gotta keep at it and naturally you'll get the hand of it. Practice mode helps, but you'll get the best benefit from doing offline play now games against the CPU.

My best advice is to look at the player you're going to pass the puck to help in your aiming; as well keep in mind if he's moving where he'll be when the puck reaches him. I find that helps me out a lot. If I miss aim the puck, it's because I didn't really focus on my eyes on the intended target enough.

Granted I kinda had a lot of experience with hardcore passing since I loved using saucer pass in previous versions of NHL, and that type of passing is hardcore by default.
