Nylander and Marner chasing dump ins would be quite the sight. - Blazed
Don't have to dump it when you have the speed, skill and passing to carry it in and blow by the D if they stand too far up the line. The Leafs simply don't have the tools to play dump and chase and sustain that pressure successfully. |

What does that have to do with Plekanec for a 2nd being an idiotic price to pay for a poop player? - Unholy_Goalie
Idiotic? Careful with how you talk about our 2nd line C. |

c'mon UG, that the least the Leafs could do to help MTL a little bit - Symba007
You can have Bozak and Komarov. Make sure you give them very, very long term deals too. |

Nylander / Matthews / Marner
Marleau / Bozak / Kapanen
Hyman / Plekanec / Brown
JVR / Matthews / Johnsson
Yes, load up one line. The Leafs have the benefit of last change and can throw our three best forwards at their weakest pairing at will.
Keep JVR off the ice until the PP, use Hyman, Moore and Brown to try and shutdown the Bergeron line the best you can, throw Bozak out there against Krejci and use the Matthews line against the Bruins 3rd and 4th lines as often as possible. - Unholy_Goalie

That's just not true, every team in the league utilizes dump and chase as one of their entry strategies and it's been by far the most common way the Leafs have entered the zone.
In theory 1 extra skilled guy on the line will make the likelihood of skating it through the neutral zone more likely but they will still have to dump and chase. It's not the D they have to blow by, it's the Bruins forwards completely closing off routes through the neutral zone. |

Then keep trying to dump and chase and keep getting muscled off the puck, losing possession, losing the zone and keep losing 5-1 and 7-3. Because that's what dump and chase has yielded for the Leafs.
The Leafs have speed and skill and the longer they play into their weaknesses instead of their strengths, the longer they get their asses kicked at a game they clearly can't play. |

And where exactly do we build up this speed with 5 guys stepping up in the neutral zone?
Did you watch any of the games? |

Right, you act as if they are not trying to skate it in. Most times dump and chase is your last option before a turnover. You bring it through the neutral zone, your outlets are covered and it's 1 on 1 with a Dman with side pressure from a backchecking forward.
Options are pretty limited at that point, which is why every single team in the league dumps and chases. |

Go at them with speed, go around them, draw some penalties.
Oh wait, nevermind, the referees want the Leafs to lose so they won't draw any penalties.
Go back to dump and chase and try muscling Chara off the puck. I'm sure that'll work. |

I thought that was quite obvious. Both the Devils and the Leafs overpaid for players not performing. While Leafs promote Plek to the 2nd line, Devs healthy scratches Grabs. Let's see who's doing the right move... |
