Not a problem until someone actually wins something by playing that way. I have long advocated a rule stating 'no more than four men in the neutral zone when you are on defence', but it will never happen. This would kill the trap and the 1-3-1.
The referees handled it properly, blow the play down and have a face-off. Next step will be delay of game penalties for failing to attack. that will cure it. Philly was making a spectacle last night. Patrick Roy did the same thing last year (but for much longer) in the QMJHL.
