Leon Draisaitl's last 20 games

[McPoyle]

Draisaitl is playing the best overall hockey of his career right now, which is no small feat.

Since Oct 31 in 20 games, Draisaitl has:

16 goals (1st in the NHL)
19 assists (7th)
35 points (1st)
+18 (first)
0 PIM
ES GS of 28-10 (74%).

Hes doing all this while playing with a mishmash of wingers in Podkolzin, Kapanen, Skinner, and when healthy Ardvisson.

He is playing near his best level of offensive output, but has tidied up his defensive game so much so that he should be getting Selke consideration. On top of that he should be in the running to win the Rocket, Ross, Hart, and Pearson.

Drai is playing the best hockey of his career, watch an Oiler game and enjoy the show.

McDavid - finally regressing?

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Guy is insane and a beast on the puck. Treat to watch.

Cant see McDavid beating him for the art ross with his play at this point and kuch and McKinnon also consistently blowing him out of the water. 1 assist for McDavid while big three all had massive nights

I see your back from a lengthy hibernation after McDavid hit 150 points!

Playing arguably his best regular season hockey he’s ever played. Been just dominant at both ends of the ice.

He’s a playoff beast which is well established. Playoff Drai is a whole other level.

As great as he’s been so far this season it bears repeating that all that matters this year is one trophy.

 

[DitchMarner]

I think some people still don't realize that the Oilers have transitioned from being a "run and gun" type of team that scores a lot off the rush to being a puck-dominant team that controls the play and spends a lot of time in the attacking zone. Draisaitl and McDavid seem to have adapted their games to become terrific fits for this style of play.

If they can get reliable depth scoring in the playoffs, the Oilers should be a tough out again.

Probably a psychological boost from the Preds being so bad, not only does he want to destroy them, but he feels even better when they're doing bad on their own.

The Lady Byng?

If Draisaitl played at 100 percent every night he d be the best noch doubt. Maybe that contract is a chip on his shoulder that help him beat his inner Lady spoiled brat on a permanent Basis.
