Defense can jump up on the rush
Much better passing in the offensive zone
Tenacious pressure when on defense, when it's a normal rush not caused by Jbo falling down the other team has a really really hard time setting up chances
Most of all I like that there are guys flying at the opposing goalie waiting for a pass, last year it was all perimeter garbage chances.
We have some weaknesses obviously, but this team is way more fun than under Sutter's reign. Hartley is willing to try new things as where Sutter would try to jam square pegs into circular holes over and over to the point of insanity
