I also get raped frequently by the AI, it is seemingly impossible for me to score (on pro mode), even though I pile up 30-40 shots per game - one timers, blasts from the point, doesn't matter - I'm lucky to score more than 2 goals per game.

I've had one freeze on the 360 version but I think it was more or less my fault. I was rushing through the menus and I think I choked it.
I haven't found scoring on the default setting hard at all. I've averaged over 5 goals a game through the first 10 games. I'm starting to play with the sliders a bit and will investigate going to All-star level (I have a feeling i'm sort of in between difficulty levels so will get my butt handed to me on All-star).
In order to score do the things you would do in hockey. Get traffic in front of the net and get a low shot from the point through the screen or for a deflection. Fake the shot and get the goaltender to bite. Get the goaltender moving from side to side. Cycle the puck and control the zone. It's hard to keep on going back to the same play again and again as they will shut you down so get a variety of plays going. I find it helps to have your lines using different offensive strategies to keep the computer AI guessing a bit more.
