Oilers' Draisaitl Calls Out Team for Motivation
Posted: Sat Nov 30, 2024 2:40 pm
Hey there! I just read about the Edmonton Oilers and their recent struggles, especially how Leon Draisaitl had to step up and give the team a reality check during the intermission. It's wild to think that a team with such immense talent, including two generational players like Draisaitl and Connor McDavid, still needs that kind of motivation to get going.
I mean, it’s great to see Draisaitl taking on that leadership role, but it raises some serious questions about the team's overall mentality. They shouldn't have to rely on star players to light a fire under them every time they hit a rough patch. It’s a testament to their skill that they can bounce back, but consistency is key in the NHL.
If they want to compete for the Cup, they need to find a way to come out strong from the get-go. It’s not just about talent; it’s about having that killer instinct and drive to dominate right from the first puck drop. What do you think? Do you believe they can turn it around, or is this a sign of deeper issues within the team?
