Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl may have scored the game-winning goal in a recent match against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he was far from satisfied with his overall performance.
Despite securing the 3-2 victory for his team, Draisaitl expressed disappointment in his own game, stating that he needs to be better and contribute more to the team’s success.
“I’m happy to get the winner, but I’m not happy with my game,” Draisaitl said in a post-game interview. “I need to be better. I need to be more consistent and help my team in all areas of the game.”
Draisaitl, who is known for his offensive prowess, acknowledged that he needs to improve defensively and be more physical on the ice. He also mentioned that he wants to be a leader for his team and set a good example for his teammates.
“I want to be a complete player and help my team win in any way I can,” Draisaitl said. “I know I have the ability to do more and I need to push myself to reach my full potential.”
The 25-year-old German native has been a key player for the Oilers this season, leading the team in points and assists. However, he understands that there is always room for improvement and is determined to continue working hard to elevate his game.
“I have high expectations for myself and I know I can do better,” Draisaitl said. “I will continue to work hard and do whatever it takes to help my team win.”
The Oilers are currently sitting in second place in the North Division and Draisaitl’s contributions will be crucial as they push for a playoff spot. With his determination and drive to be better, it’s clear that Draisaitl will continue to be a valuable asset for the team.
As for his game-winning goal against the Maple Leafs, Draisaitl remains humble and focused on the bigger picture.
“It’s always nice to score, but the most important thing is that we got the win,” Draisaitl said. “That’s all that matters to me.”
With his team-first mentality and dedication to improvement, Draisaitl’s future with the Oilers looks bright. Fans can expect to see even more impressive performances from him as the season progresses.
