So the attacking team (Team A) has the puck in the offensive zone and they entered the zone onside, then they lose possession and the defending team (Team B) clears the puck across the blue line into the neutral zone. Now Team A steals the puck again in the neutral zone and goes on the attack again, but they have a player or even multiple players still in the attacking zone from the earlier attack who never crossed the blue line of Team B back into the neutral zone, thus being offside now, but still, Team A passes the puck into the zone, whilst the receiver never left offside. Play continues and no offside is called, even though the play is offside.
I've noticed this happening too. But for me, more often than not, the attacker on Team A will sit at the line and wait for his teammates to touch up...but they never quite do..and still he crosses the line and play continues.

I was curious if this was just a visual effect because of the player icon mod I use -- on screen it appears, say, a half inch short of an official "touch up", but perhaps under the hood they have in fact crossed over to the neutral zone.
