Hmmm ...
We all see different things I guess. I saw forwards cheating on the forecheck for fear of getting burned, backing into the neutral zone to counter the fear of the Oilers attack, and getting caught flat footed.
Result was a defense core with brutal gaps and a need to back into their goaltender, putting a lot of pressure on the goaltender.
The same thing, to a large degree, happened against Colorado two years earlier.
