Does nobody else think that we're compensating for our lak of wxperience on the back end? Is it just me then?
Am I the only one that thinks that we're playing to our strenghts and "Capitalixing" on our forwards and their skill to overcome our current lack of experience on D?
Sorry, that's the way I see it.
Our guys are incredibly skilled and experienced up front, so the more goals they score, more relief for the whole team. Holtby hasn't been at his best yet and stupid, dumb, unneccesary penalties (Yes Bowey - lookind at you) don't help.
I think we're compensating quite well. .... Imho.

If it's happening throughout the league, it isn't Reirdon's system, it's the league's doing. The league wanted a more wide-open game, and they've got it. It's difficult to execute the "good old fashioned" type of game when the league has legislated out many of its tactics.

It is getting difficult to play good physical defensive hockey because of rule changes but there still is some teams that are doing it. The Preds are pretty good in their own end. Look at what the Isles are doing with that pathetic roster. They dont have anything close to a number one dman and their goaltending is below average but their defensive numbers aren't bad.

Well if are dcore is weak its more reason for our forwards to help by backcheckng. Our forwards have been just as responsible for our defensive play as our defense. Defense is more about the system than individual play.

All ltrue. And our more experienced players are doing so. Including Ovi.
At the same time, our rookies and young-uns are helping out too. Otherwise we wouldn't have been so winning - ey.... :raspberry:
Doesn't detract from our backend.
