Instead they add to this by expertly corralling loose pucks and then instead of icing it to get fresh reinforcements they storm back up the ice with advantaged numbers and cram an actual blue chip chance right down the opposition’s throats.
They exchange 40 seconds of what looks like domination for 5 seconds of an actual chance to score.

I put it down to conditioning first that gives them the ability to have enough left in the tank to make that rush. It's been a long time and my memory may not be exact but I kind of compare them to the old USSR teams which were top in conditioning, didn't do much cycling and didn't take many shots but could score pretty well.
