Good teams defend as a team.
Proper support and back check by forwards is always overlooked when people look at team defense, and the defenders get too much credit and blame for defense.
Look at the Flames the last two weeks. Biggest difference IMO is the forwards actually committing on the back check, and not flying the zone giving better outlets to the dmen.
