Franchise sliders?

Hi guys I'm playing on the default game settings, All Star, and with the earliest tuner version. I like the way the game plays but I keep having 3-2 games turn into 8-7 games toward the end of the 3rd. Every shot beats the goalie, it's ridiculous. How can I turn down the ice tilt without changing the way the game feels? Not looking to make major changes otherwise, I'm not really into the ultra-realistic sliders. Thanks.
