Better celebrations
Go to overtime with a team and score a goal. The celebrations are different then the original ones. Also, the more overtime periods you play, the better the celebrations get.
Easy goals
Pass the puck to a fast shooter and check which hand he is using. If he is right-handed, go to the right side of the rink and vice versa. Then, go around the net and immediately when you get to the edge of the post quickly tap X. If done correctly, the puck should go straight through the goalie's legs almost every time. Note: This may take some practice. Also, it is more difficult to perform at the higher skill level.
Play against Carolina with Irbe in net or create a bad goaltender and it will be easy to score on him from far away.
Go through the boards
When a team is making a line change, go along the boards by the opponents bench. If a player attempts to hit you and misses, this player may go right through the boards and into the bench. The player also can get out of the bench without climbing over, and will go through the boards again. The same thing can happen with your players.
Misspelled names
The names of players not in the NHL that are on international teams are misspelled. For example, go to "Roster" and select "Finland". "Antti Eeltu" should be "Antti Aalto". It is possible that Sega did not have a license from the other leagues or the Olympics to use their real names. Note: Only vowels are changed.
