Yup, I haven't felt this good about our defense since maybe ever, and that's also a statement about our coaching.
While Brodie immediately looked better with Gio, he also had some pretty rough games and looked quite sloppy at times. While a new system and new partner play big roles here, it seems like some mental stuff has also been fixed during the season.
Hamonic is another player who has taken
a clear step forward recently, Hanifin seems to be progressing, and when you add how comfortable our rookie D pairing looks, and Gio in full beast mode, that's all of our defense playing more or less to their potential at once, and getting better.
That doesn't happen by accident, there has to be some good coaching going on right now. Huska likely deserves some credit (he's the defense guy, right?), and Peters obviously.
