The Leafs do not dump and chase and haven't for a while in case you haven't noticed.
Keefe pretty well outlawed it since coming aboard.
The players try to prance across the blue-line with the puck and find short outlet passes.
Exactly.
Dump and chase forechecking is what wins in the playoffs - - but it doesn't look good on the analytics.
Skating around the perimeter and moving the puck backwards is great for "puck-possession" analytics - - but it'll NEVER win in the playoffs.
Amazing that so many here are scratching their heads wondering how the Leafs managed to lose yet another first round playoff series.
