Now that you mention it, I'm not sure I've seen it dislodged either. But I haven't really paid any attention also.
I'll keep an eye on it tonight.
The other physics in the game are pretty good.
I scored a goal with Hoffman by driving to the net and taking a pass from Brassard.
After he shot it, he went arse over teakettle by tripping on the goalies leg and went flying into the boards.
It was a very realistic looking animation. What made it look even better was that as he was slowly standing up, a teammate came over to hug in celebration.
The whole sequence was really cool and very realistic.
Now if only they could get all 5 skaters to join in the man-loving, I'd be happy.
