Incredibly underrated. Ignorant fans of the game don’t realize HE is often the reason McDavid racks up the points that he does when they do play together (which was less often than people think).

[@sergeynazaro1768]

He allows Mcdavid to play better 10000%. It’s like Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, they UNLOCK each others game

[@AbesamisM]

Yes you’re very smart.

[@MattressKing]

ain’t no way your calling draisaitl underrated

[@Hank-js1wf]

2nd best player in the world no debate anymore

[@teeganreed7989]

The mensch is so good and only gets paid $8 million!! Not an Edmonton fan, but he’s one of my favorite players in the league!

[@bbutters2]

At 9:01, Drai's pass was so fast and accurate that it beat all 5 Arizona players into their zone, that's INSANITY !!!

[@twan5217]

That pass at 9:35 is just amazing

[@mrniggaplease12]

Same with the one right after at 10:10

[@gudtimes6363]

love the dude. unreal player

[@sergeynazaro1768]

I was just thinking about Oilers hockey, can’t wait for the season to start

[@auzzy6434]

How do you not include his backhand snipe against the jets? The entire shift should’ve made this.

[@jaf5569]

Good guy, good player

[@firstclasshousemusicradio7046]

What an amazing player!!!

[@AlexTheOilersFan]

8:46 Guaranteed, Rittich is looking at where he is and going "how tf did that go in". Because he doesn't move from that spot for a few seconds after the goal is scored.

[@Hockey99.]

Best in the game after 97

[@dajahsixx]

leon’s a beast

[@ryancox6268]

Last season Ekholm was probably thinking, “man I would love to play with McDavid and Draisaitl”. He got his wish at the trade deadline.

[@Nemazon5.7]

0:59 the play that got them bedard

[@safejewel2072]

9:35 twice he’s able to take the puck away from an Arizona player, and gift McDavid with a beautiful pass. TWICE!

[@mountstephen6810]

8:44 was a nearly impossible goal. his accuracy was unreal

[@bbutters2]

Germanic GOAT!

[@Daveezyyy]

8:46 Goalie was like „F… You bro!“

[@Moonwalker6969]

Grandmaster hockey player.

[@romgor76]

Буду болеть за них в этом сезоне

[@randomassname445]

Drai's office

[@Moizadamji]

Eeeeeliiiite

[@michaelscore6763]

Maybe the best player of the world but not with the breathtaking skills McDavid has. He is nearly by every Oilers goal on the ice, McDavid not..... That tells me the hole story about the quality of Oilers hockey. And if a season comes in his crunch time, in the playoffs he becomes better and better! That also shows his class! The Oilers lost in the last two years against the champion - that wasn't Draisaitls mistakes, he played excellent in the playoffs. The Vegas Nights realized after game one that he is the key for the Oilers game and did all to take him out of the game. So they won.

[@stentorofsparta3576]

He might have to step it up if Sam Gagner & Brandon Sutter are the oilers depth options.

[@SanchezKirby]

No hard feelings 😁

[@topiheimola69]

Gagner's had an 8 point game with the Oilers before though :D

[@lukechatlani8899]

First

[@themorethemerrier281]

Impressive bot show in the comments here! Respect! 🥰🥰💖💝

[@dylanr8481]

He gets no hype and he's even better than Evgeni Malkin

[@reneehuang180]

Would he be this good if he wasnt playing alongside McDavid?

[@Pillunaamaripulireika]

No he wouldn't. And mcdavid wouldn't be as good as well if he didn't play with drai.

[@CrossFireGermanyHD]

Look where mcdavid was the season injuried who was the Best scorer of the league? Oh Leon and that without mcjesus. How You can say without him he would be nothing

[@topiheimola69]

Well of course they both benefit from playing with one another on the power play, but I think Draisaitl would put up 100+ points on any team.

[@CrossFireGermanyHD]

@@topiheimola69 thank you

[@dealy9268]

Great offensive player. Really bad on the defensive side of the puck. 4 goals in a single playoff game. That's awesome. Can you show the parts of that same game where he was on the ice for six goals against??? I will take an ALL-ROUND player over a 100 ft player any day!

[@GoatzelEnjoyer]

And people call him the 2nd best player in the league 🤣🤣💙🧡💙

[@joeydamisfit]

​@@GoatzelEnjoyerhe is

[@dealy9268]

@@joeydamisfit 2nd best offensive player maybe. But not close the 2nd best ALL-ROUND player. And neither is the other guy! Both of them will not win you a cup. I would say the MVP on that team is Evander Kane! The Oilers were good in the beginning of the season. Kane goes down with injury. The Oilers even with those two goal scorers are fighting to stay in a wild card spot in March. Kane comes back and the Oilers end up contending for 1st in the west. Before Kane's return McDavid with all those points was a +2 at his highest. Kane returns and McDavid ends up a +22 all because of an ALL-ROUND player in Kane. I would say the Oilers do not make the playoffs without Kane. We can go back further to 21-22 season. The Oilers were not in a playoff spot before they signed Kane. They end up going to the third round after a beer league Battle of Alberta.

[@joeydamisfit]

@@dealy9268 stopped reading as soon as you said McDavid isn't the best player in the league. That's just insane. I'm not even an oilers fan.

[@dealy9268]

@@joeydamisfit He is the best OFFENSIVE player. No question about that. he is Not the best ALL-ROUND player. He is not good on the defensive side of the puck. He is often out of position defensively looking for that next rush up ice. Watching as a former player and coach you can see things an average fan would not see.

[@GoatzelEnjoyer]

And in the end Powerplaisaitl got humbled by Vegas. He went full on ghost mode when it mattered the most and he couldn't suck off the refs feet with McNuggie to get Powerplays. But the Cup is coming to Deadmonton, right?! 🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡💙🧡💙🛢

[@SanchezKirby]

The cup is coming to deadmonton 😁👍🏼 yes!!!

[@GoatzelEnjoyer]

@@AlGrundau866 OFC it is the refs fault when Powerplaisaitl gets exposed 5 on 5 and truly shows how useless he is when the opponent has five skaters on the ice instead of four. Don't get me started on his selke level defensive game.🤣🤣🤣💙🧡💙🤡🤡👻👻👻

[@mariomelms7902]

@@GoatzelEnjoyer 10000 smilies don`t make ur "arguments" more valid, just saying...1. I didn`t get the memo that ppp don`t count. 2. Drai ist 1st oa in goals over the last 5 years and 2. in points behind only MacDavid and u think he is just a powerplay merchant? He might not be always the best defensivly , but is also trusted at 3-5 situations by his coach regulary, so in my eyes his defence is good but sadly not consistent at 5-5, I give u that. And yeah, he dissapeared in the last 4 games against Vegas but without him the oilers wouldnt have eliminated the kings either in 22 or 23.
