If anything their problem was that the forwards were not skating out with the D - they were not in good pass receipt positions and the D were required to chip out.

I think they are coached to not move the puck quicky up ice with a stretch pass which could result in a turnover or icing, and to instead pass D to D and wait for the players to get set and then move the puck. This makes the team look slow and gives the defense a chance to get set.
It's exactly what Gulutzan preached and it was terrible to watch and not winning hockey.
