When teams are taking care of that, then it makes sense if the only goals they are allowing are seeing-eye shots from the point, or bank-ins, tips and such at the sides of the net.

And even more so it's a HD if the shot comes on a pass, rebound or deflection ... the truly most dangerous chances.
So yeah there will be ones that aren't included that were easy goals, but that should even out.
If you prevent the other team from getting a rebound, tipping the puck or getting a point blank pass in the home plate you will win more games than you lose.
