Noticed the Oilers aren't giving up the blue line as easy as they used to.. I'm crediting Manson for that. Defense seems a little more coordinated in their own zone. But the real reason for the win is the Navy uni's.. 3 W's in a row .. dress for success!

100% agree on the blue line. I dont think it is a coincidence that this started happening three games ago.
The forwards playing two way hockey has been talked about a lot. I think the D are switching to a much more traditional style as well, both defending zone entries and once pinned in the zone.
You mention a lot how often certain guys look lost and keeping it simple means they can rely on reflexes and not be delayed with decision making as often.

I am concerned that no one can lead the league in blocked shots this way...
