The for check was more aggressive, we clearly changed it up, we also were much much better at reloading and resetting. We stayed above the puck much better than last year, and it showed.
Our D were aggressive in a good way, they joined the rush and forwards were back to cover, Hamonic had a couple great chances, he was skating well.
Defensively, the D were keeping their gaps much better, in part because the back checkers were helping out more than last year. I really liked Kleven in particular, he did a great job breaking plays up though he did get a bit aggressive on the first goal clearing the net, and JBD didn't pick up the opening to cover. It will come as guys start to learn each other's tendencies and communicate more.
But your right, posters complained about Forberg, even when it made no sense to, that part is just like last year.
