Zadorov blames the Kings system for their loss

[Dirty Dan]

The kings never play hockey. Not sure how Kopitar copes with this system. 2012 they had no scoring, got lucky when Jeff Carter came to teach them.

2014 again Marian Gaborik and Justin Williams came to teach them before they forgot.

Kovalchuk on the kings...lol he forgot to score too

More praise to Kopitar and Doughty they really do a lot to generate something out of nothing. Also Quick was ridiculous

Loving all the comments from opposing fans

Hope LAK curbstomp your trash teams in the playoffs

So basically this controversy is over a hockey player claiming that the tactics applied by his opponents caused his team to lose a game?

Such drama!

Wonder what he'll say when a high scoring team (oh say Edmonton ) curb stomps them ? Will it be something like "That high offence system they play is so unfair"

I for one enjoy watching paint dry

Zadorov sure talks to the media a lot.

All players talk to the media a lot. You just notice him more because he actually says something

 

[Hockeylife2018]

All comes down to what their fans want

Some fans would watch any play style as long as it resulted in a win

Me personally, I would shell out hundreds of dollars to watch my team actively not try, but who cares what I think

Hey guys! This one team lost 3 random times over 6 months to this other team. This very clearly indicates they are frauds and have zero chance of going anywhere in the playoffs!

I thought regular season games were meaningless? Are they? Or is winning the season series against the Canucks the King’s Stanley Cup?

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

I have no problem with the 1-3-1. Teams should be able to use whatever system they want in order to win as long as it's within the rules. The problem is when they're not good enough to win with the system and add hooking, holding, and interference on every zone entry into the recipe. And even at that, the only thing wrong with that is when the officials don't call the game properly.

1967 is the year the kings joined the league. Toronto doesn't have a monopoly on 1967.

 

[aufheben]

So what? The Rangers do this too, and we allow more rush chances than anyone in the league.

If the Kings want to win games like that, that's up to them. Obviously their fans would prefer to see wins rather than entertaining hockey. The Canucks played an extremely defensive style under Alain Vigneault in 06-07 where they scored 222 goals in the season yet still won 49 games whereas Buffalo scored 308 just to win an extra 4 games.

If the Kings fans want to watch boring hockey just to win a few more games than if they actually tried a more offensive style, then I'm just glad I'm not forking out any money to watch them.
