Maybe it was just the way I had it tweaked in NHL 11 but I used to be able to crush a guy into the boards, grab the puck and carry on. Now I crush him into the boards, fall down myself and the puck slides away.

Try to hustle less into the hits.
NHL 11 and 12 got me into some bad habits of feeling like I had to smash through a guy just to knock him down. In the new game, I can knock a guy over from almost a standstill if the situation is right.
Try rubbing guys out more instead of killing them with a neutral zone fuelled charge into the end boards.
