Of course, CHASE is the operative word there. Sometimes you gotta crash and bang and rough it up in the corners to make things happen, even if you fancy yourself a skill team. If you are crashing and banging in the corners, cycling the puck becomes the natural outcome. Cycling the puck in the offensive zone leads to good things.
Having said that, I think 5 on 5 play was OK vs the Canes. The powerplay is beyond bad. It's confounding how they simply can't get anything going with the man advantage. That seriously needs to be the top priority of the staff right now.
