They've definitely tailored this system to these players. When you look at the names of 2-7 on defense, what they've done is pretty amazing. Seems like they are never in their own zone, so whatever deficiencies it is they might have, they are rarely exposed.
I've been watching the out of town feeds, and the opposing announcers are all saying the same thing. They start the broadcast talking about chipping it deep and wearing down the young Canes D for 10 minutes, then the last 50 minutes is on how the puck comes right back out as soon as they get it in.
