Bruce Cassidy on the Leafs spreading out their top talent onto three lines: "I think it's going to help Toronto... Maybe the individual numbers aren't as good, but there is a better balance"

You have to check well and stay out of the box. You need timely saves. They are a good offensive team. They are going to get looks. You have to be opportunistic and score some goals. You can't expect to go out and play a 2-1 game against a really good offensive team. We are going to have to score a little bit as well.

I like that thinking myself. Players have to be on board. People forget sometimes that the individual has to be willing to maybe sacrifice for the good of the team when you do that. Maybe the individual numbers aren't as good, but there is a better balance.
