Leon Draisatl - time to prove?

[Connor McConnor]

The points for Leon are nice because he deserves to get some hardware in his cabinet and he likely won't get a better opportunity when McDavid is healthy but he is actually carrying them to wins right now which is soo much more impressive. 3-1 since Connor went down and Leon has been 1st star in 3/4 games (every win). On a brutal Eastern road trip he's outplayed both Barkov and Aho on back to back nights.

Another point backhand saucer on the assist on the OT winner.

95 points now. What a game, 3 point night.

And tht's having played pretty much the entire OT, not fresh off the bench. Easily best player in the game today.

 

[kovnik]

What a beast. Getting better every year. Cologne's finest.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Why watch games when the eye test is flawed and I can just go onto Naturalstattrick for my information?!

graphs= pretty

watching the game= too much work

 

[Kennedys]

Wow 3 pts again. 12 pts in his last 5 games. I hope he can keep this up when McDavid come back

 

[nturn06]

They don't draft dahlin with drai over Sam though

Good point.

On another hand, given how well they did this year with the current talent, they probably still have a choice at Dahlin. Coaching matters.

 

[Oil Dood]

Congrats on a 1 game sample size I guess?

This is not aging well.

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

To all of you who never watched an Oilers game and claimed he was a product of McDavid, what do you have to say for yourselves now!?

I'm actually hoping he takes this form to the playoffs.

 

[Civetty]

But his scoring rate away from McDavid on the 2nd line and when McDavid is injured is higher then when he plays on McDavids line. Care to explain how?

Sarcasm.

 

[Truthteller]

Remember this hot take?

He is really one of the worst along with Bam.

 

[Jepprey]

MVP in my books so far. Product of Archibald and Khaira today.

 

[duul]

Jesus. The fact the Oilers have the two best players in the league is so crazy. No disrespect to Mack, who might be more exciting than Drai. Draisaitl impacts a game more overall.

What a f***ing player. Who would've thought he would be like 15 points ahead in the scoring race with 23 games to play? He has been better than McDavid this year.

 

[Truthteller]

Any doubt Draisaitl isnt the clear 2nd best in the NHL right now?

Yes, he is the clear best until McDavid takes it back from him.

 

[Connor McConnor]

This is not aging well.

He'll still find a way to come up with another passive aggressive thread where he comes across as being thoughtfully clueless while taking shots at the Oilers and Draisatl. Watch.

 

[CupofOil]

This will always be known as the thread that triggered Draisaitl's Hart campaign. Troll thread gone bad.

 

[LeHab]

Draisaitl is pulling a Malkin.

Oilers fans and fans of the other Pacific Division have known, now maybe Eastern fans who are normally in bed when the Oilers play know.
What a ****ing player. Who would've thought he would be like 15 points ahead in the scoring race with 23 games to play? He has been better than McDavid this year.

 

[Homesick]

Since being moved off McDavids line to permanent center: 18 games, 12 goals and 34 total points. Almost 20% higher PPG then #2 in the league during that time span. Now, with McDavid out, 4 games, 3 goals, 10 points. Thread.

4 games 11 points. I believe he now has 46 points in 44 games that McDavid has been out of the line up

 

[Satire]

To all of you who never watched an Oilers game and claimed he was a product of McDavid, what do you have to say for yourselves now!?

He is a product of McDavid's absence obviously.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Leon just dropped the mic on everyone that ever doubted him. Amazing.

 

[ImporterExporter]

He's a horse. Love that guy. So glad he's putting to bed the notion that McD was mostly responsible for his successes.

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Whoa whoa whoa. I was told Leon can’t carry his own line - I’m sure of it! I even read some per60 stats that dated back to March 3, 2017 at 3:06pm saying that his P1/60 weren’t good!!!

 

[snipes]

Leon just dropped the mic on everyone that ever doubted him. Amazing.

95 points in 59 games is completely ridiculous.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

Leon just dropped the mic on everyone that ever doubted him. Amazing.

Leon is an Hfboards user clearly.
