Leafs need to continue to establish their up tempo forechecking ways scoring lots of goals.  Once that is established (and it may not happen), they then need to develop a strong defensive system which is the foundation for a Cup contending team.  The late 70s Habs did it very well and the Leafs need to find that fine line between offence and defence.  A slight change in personnel is likely required.

Teams win 8-5 in the regular season and get two points but that same style against a strong playoff team translates into 3-1 losses in the playoffs...
