NHL 2003 Deflection shot
Get the puck to the offensive zone near the blue line. Hold Deflection/Short Block while shooting. One of your players should skate to the front of the net and deflect the puck in.
Easy goals
If you are skating with someone that has a very high rank in the Deke category such as Joe Sakic, Paul Kariya, etc., once you get past the opposition’s blue line, press Down, then press Auto Deke. Immediately after he is done with the Deke, press Shoot. You will score about 95% of the time. Also, take any big shooter and let him take a slapshot directly in the middle of the hash marks. Shoot for the top corner. This will work about 90% of the time. If a defender is on you, once in three zone move to the left or right, then cut back left or right and take you slapshot.
