I think you have that exactly backwards. They started letting in weak goals because they stopped checking, and they stopped checking because they had no confidence that the officials would allow them to do so.
If there is one thing that Woodcroft seems to have taught the Oilers, it's McDavid's favourite trick of grabbing an opponent's stick and selling it to the officials as a hook or a slash instead of a penalty against himself for holding the stick.
