All elite teams make stick-to-stick passes and gain zone entry seamlessly. The Kings are tentative in that department because their system doesn't encourage it. You can play a very defensive system and still score. Just look at the Blues and Bruins.

If you watched the Blues feed, all their announcers were saying, was that the Blues had to get back to what they did best, dump and chase with speed....
