It's been mentioned periodically throughout the year but I think it's worth a bit of discussion. Given the Jekyll & Hyde nature of this team this year, I'm quite intrigued by this 23-0-1 stat.

I think the 3M line is a big factor (especially late in games); timely goaltending as well. Is there something about this team/system that allows them to lock it down in the third? I've said it before -- this team plays so much better with the lead -- I don't know if it's just a confidence thing or if they just have the mentality that they can dictate the play when they're ahead.
