    Should the Kings dump their 1-3-1 neutral-zone trap?

    The Kings' 1-3-1 trap had drawn criticisms from opposing players, like Vancouver's Nikita Zadorov, who said it was the Kings' goal to not play hockey, and Colorado's Gabriel Landeskog, who once implored the Kings to “get up and hunt,” among other more profane commands. At exit interviews last week, even some players' defenses of the system called it “boring,” according to decorated 1-3-1 veteran Anže Kopitar, and acknowledged that the Kings “got into it a little too much,” per leading goal-scorer Trevor Moore.
