[CRASH] "Attempting to Reconnect" Still reconnecting...

I get this problem quite often. My internet sometimes goes wonky and disconnects. So, I go to the router, fix it, and come back. This problem only, however, happens near the end of the game. If the game ends while the message is still up, it remains this way... pretty much forever. This happened to me about 20 minutes ago and it's still "attempting to reconnect" even though the game ended. I don't want to exit the game because then I'll get penalized (I've done it and it penalized me). Help :(.
