We need to talk about Draisaitl…



Leon Draisaitl has been a major talking point going into Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals for his hit on Sasha Barkov and we talk more about it here. #hockey #edmontonoilers #floridapanthers

  1. How anyone can complain about a cheap shot being taken on ANY Panthers player is beyond me. Suck it up. When the coach is the biggest goon on the bench, it says a lot about the team.

  2. It actually was an insanely clean hit no elbow came up if you guys actually looked at the facts instead of feelings

  3. Such a perfect answer by Maurice ha ha. Crazy that the league PRETENDS to be for player safety yet this is not a one game suspension (and so many other plays like that every year too). But the coach is right. Nothing he can do about it. Focus on what you can do.

  4. After that hit by Drai, my desire for Oilers to win has subsided. On the other hand, if Barkov turns out to be ok, maybe it's ok to forgive and move on.
    Unfortunately, dirty hits like this are common in Playoffs. I just didn't want to see it coming from Draisaitl.

  5. Knocking a captain of the opposing team out for the game or longer. Who was the first team to do this in this playoffs? Oh Bennet on Marchand? Kinda ironic lol

  6. Paul Maurice isn't complaining, but all the Panther fans are whining loudly. It was a 2 minute penalty and they called it. The Panthers even scored on it. Move on buddy. Lots of calls went the Panther's way and are up 2-0. If you're all about the drama, please switch to soccer.

  7. I was at the game, not surprised at the hitting by the Oilers. I know they are trying hard to match up. But appeared to be more intent to injure than hit. The Panthers can hit hard, I hope the game does not degenerate into an injure fest.
