Thanks for the article. Now I can point to this article to the countless people who moan and complain about the patch. Another tool that is available post-patch is the Y-button on board play.

When deep in the zone, behind the goal as a rule of thumb. You can press Y when an opponent has the puck against the boards, triggering the 'holding' animation without getting the penalty. This is effective in lieu of getting a checking from behind penalty when chasing a dumped puck, and more effective in freeing up the puck.
