Speed of execution. I don't care who you put out there, if all 5 guys are standing still, slowly passing the puck around, nothing will happen. The way to break down the coverage, and generate chances, is to move the puck around quickly, with motion.
It would help if their zone entries were better, and winning more draws also helps, but they aren't dangerous when they set it up because they are moving the puck too slowly and too predictably.
