Leon Draisaitl occupe le troisième rang des marqueurs des séries éliminatoires de la LNH avec 30 points, mais la star des Oilers n’a récolté que deux passes décisives en cinq matchs en finale de la Coupe Stanley. Edmonton peut-il revenir pour tout gagner sans que Draisaitl ne contribue offensivement ? Martin Biron de TSN Hockey partage ses réflexions.

"And that was the motivation I so desperately needed" MJ
Would be nice to get more from Draisaitl in the final series. I think he's injured.
It would certainly help, but the depth has stepped up.
In before drai puts up a 4 point night of his own
Draisaitl scores a hatrick tomorrow in Edmonton
30 points this postseason,
He’s doing fine.
Yes of course all us Oilers fans would love to see Leon in top form right now. If he's not 100% he's still better than most of the other players on the ice. But with Kane out, and Leon possibly hurt, this just compels every other Oilers player the critical opportunity to step up their individual game in a huge way. In the last two games that's been more than positive, and let's hope so again tonight.
Its going to take everyone giving their 100 percent with these last 2 games. Skinner again needs to come up huge! Were so close guys. Have faith and bring the cup home where it belongs.
Leon is injured that is why he has been underperforming. We will find out the full extent of his injury (or injuries) afte the playoffs. From what I see from your video here, you seem to be clueless about Leon having an injury. It is quite obvious that he is injured.
Absolutely invisible
I believe he has an upper body injury. He can‘t get much behind his trademark shot from below the faceoff circle. The hard backhand pass isn‘t there either.
He is stumbling around, not good 😌.He better wake up.
The problem is Panthers are very fast skaters (not like McJesus ofcourse) and Draisaitl is very slow, it just doesn't work here, doesn't mather how much of a physical big guy he is. Also I think he's injured, that doesn't help either. With that beeing said, I believe Oilers will take SC in G7
Does anyone know what the song playing in the background is?
Go Oilers….😎👏🖖🍩💪👌🤘🇺🇸👋🏆
Not a worker bee……just a one-timer bee!
i d say 2, 3 next TWO games !!
How about Draisaitl overcoming the lack of production by Draisaitl?
Lets go Oilers.
You're right but why are you yelling Marty
He looked really slow and behind the play every time he was on the ice in game 5. He needs to suck it up and get it done.
Drai averaged 2 points a game on one leg when they lost to Colorado in the 3rd round. He is due.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, I want to talk about a rivalry that has defined our great province of Alberta for decades: the storied battle between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames. These two teams have given us unforgettable moments, thrilling games, and fierce competition. However, for too long, we have viewed this time-honored rivalry through a lens of animosity, each side entrenched in their loyalty, often with a sense of disdain for the other.
But what if we looked at it differently? What if we saw these battles not as a reason for division, but as a source of strength and unity? Imagine the power and potential if we embraced the fierce competition between the Oilers and the Flames as a way to uplift and improve one another. Because in the end, whether we cheer for the Oilers or the Flames, we are all Albertans.
When our teams clash on the ice, it's more than just a game. It’s an opportunity to push each other to greater heights, to showcase the best of Alberta’s spirit and talent. We need to recognize that this rivalry, when viewed through the lens of respect and camaraderie, can make both teams stronger and more competitive. By supporting each other, we can forge a bond that transcends the rink and unites us in our shared love for hockey.
Let's remember that the ultimate goal is not just winning games, but achieving something truly legendary. We want to bring home the most difficult trophy to win in the world: the Stanley Cup. We aspire to create a once-in-a-lifetime story, a record of resilience and depth that only one other team in history has managed to achieve. This pursuit is not just about the teams, but about a sense of pride and camaraderie that resonates with every Albertan.
So today, let’s put aside our differences and come together as one. Let’s support our hardworking teams with a cheer so loud that it echoes all the way to Texas. Let’s show the world that we are more than just Oilers fans or Flames fans – we are Albertans. United by our passion for hockey, driven by our desire to see our teams succeed, and bound by our respect for each other.
Together, we can make history. Together, we can bring the Stanley Cup back to Alberta. Together, we can show the world the true strength of our province.
We are ALBERTANS!
Thank you.
Leon honestly looks injured out there, not skating or protecting the puck like his usual self. You could see it in the Holloway goal he assisted in Game 4, he peeled away from the play as soon as he made the pass, and in Game 5 he was hurting going over the boards for line changes. If he gets healthy and takes over games like he did in the 2022 run, it'll be Oilers in 7 for sure! It's also wonderful to see everyone else step up, because this is the first Playoffs I've seen where we aren't being carried by McDavid and Draisaitl alone. Also, despite it all, Leon has been a beast in the first three rounds with 30 points.
Leon is believed to have a hand injury but is still a major impact not on the score sheet but moving the puck and the play in the panthers zone
Yes Draisaitl hasn't been playing well. Lots of bad passes. Lots of hesitation. Possible he is hurt, but surely if that were the case the coach would use others on the power play line. Edmonton has players who can step up. If it is just that his head isn't in the right place, hopefully he can straighten that out.
Kind of a duh question as The Oilers have played the panthers well enough to beat them at home and be where they are in the series. Injured or not, which I don't think he is, won't be an issue. Leon WILL be a major part before this series is over. Every human is unique, handles pressure, situations and circumstances differently and he is no different. He just needs to be patient and work the system they have been working and they will be ok. I believe they can win this series and despite not getting the offensive production from him SO FAR, doesn't mean he's not making an impact. Let's Go Leon and Let's Go OILERS..
Laboring an injury since Game 1 against Vancouver, what do you expect? Dudes doing what he can
