From Lyle Richardson at FoxSports,
Since the end of the NHL lockout, however, the league implemented a series of new rules — which essentially saw officials whistling down blatant obstructionist tactics — that opened up the game for skill players.
No team has benefited more from those rules than the Red Wings, whose talented roster has skillfully played head coach Mike Babcock’s puck possession game, a system built on speed, puck movement and hard work, to perfection.
The Wings’ game is one of almost constant motion, focused on moving the puck quickly between teammates. Even when a Wings player appears contained by one or more opponents, they’re always looking for a way to move the puck.
As a result, the Red Wings are able to employ a swift transition game, dominating play in the offensive zone and resulting in numerous scoring chances.
