I'd say the biggest difference to the team this year is supporting the puck through the neutral zone with short crisp passes.

Yup this is the key, puck support is everything. It's weird though, lots of time it still seems like there's a big gap between the forwards and the defence when breaking out but I think that's mostly when the opposition is backed up in a defensive mode. When the play is in the Flames zone, all the forwards are back supporting the breakout. Great to see.
