Started up a franchise on the exact same difficulty and back to issues that have plagued this series forever. I just played a game last night, I played the best I have played offensively in my season (only 6 or 7 games in) outshot the Caps 43-19 and lost 7-6. My goalie was letting in flutter shots, bad angle shots, any deke move whatsoever. If it was shot right at him, he made the save.
That is the 2nd 7-6 game that I have lost, the other one was more closely played and I took it as a one off.
I have had one game where Hiller let in 2 goals and one where Ramo let in 3. All others 4 or more.
Both Hiller and Ramo save % are at .830 or less. I play smart D, I don't chase guys, play a forward and cover who I am supposed to.
Is this a tuning issue? A franchise issue? I haven't gone back and played Play Now, I suppose that should be my first step.

It's if the team gets room to skate. You kind of have to be shifty (literally) on the joystick as the forwards are entering your zone, push them to the outside if you can but you really can't give them space which is why you need to be shifty. If they get open area to skate in your zone they'll probably score eventually. I rarely get scored on more than 3 times in a game, you have to be real smart cutting off shooting and passing lanes so that most shots hit you while giving them as little space as possible.
