I've never had this happen to me yet. I did a little looking into this on google though. What I gathered is that most people have the 'Prefer Up' view selected, and this glitched is triggered by that. I also read that it normally depends on if you're home or away as well. I don't know, I don't think it is a matter of people glitching on purpose to cheat and win.
It's weird that he was pausing it everytime. Maybe he was getting the same glitch happen on his side?
Another beef I have with the game is icing. Once the puck crosses the line it is icing no matter what. It is never called off. I once had the puck go all the way down the ice off an errant pass. I had no chance of being the first player down the ice to touch it, and the other team could have very well grabbed the puck well before the half-boards. He instead skated closely beside the puck until it crossed the line and icing was then called.
