Due to 1 part system, 1 part forward responsibility and 1 part effective forecheck keeping pressure off the defense.
Has very little to do with the quality of any individual defenseman on this team.
Last year's was worse and not close in my opinion. I've never seen the team playing better defence under Peter Deboer than during the 5 games winning streak a few games ago. They were literally kicking butts out of the defensive zone.
