Leon Draisaitl breaks his silence on the all-out fight of Oilers-Panthers in ugly Game 3-loss

Edmonton-Superster Leon Draisaitl opened on Monday evening about his opinion about the antics in Game 3 of the Oilers-Panthers Stanley Cup Final Series.

The competition got out of hand in the third period, with a battle that broke out generously on the ice. Halfway through the period every player on the ice found a dance partner, which led to a total fight.

Draisaitl, who addressed the media on the availability of Tuesday, broke his silence on the fight. The Oilers Center had this to say:

“That is part of their DNA. That is, that is what they do. I think there are splashes in the series where we really treated it well.”

During the Oilers-Panthers series, the Oilers linked the intensity of the Panthers in physicality. Unfortunately, his team was unraveled in the last frame, which led to a total of 85 penalty minutes in the night.

Leon Draisaitl added:

“Last night, I mean, it is that the game is over with 11 minutes over, right, like whatever it is, and then, you know, hell breaks loose. It is a UFC fight. But I think we can generally be a little more disciplined and stay away with it.”

The chaos led to three players on each side getting game misconduct for the battle on the ice.

As far as Draisaitl is concerned, he managed to stay away from the Brouhaha. However, he did not see much of the ice in the second half of the third period because the game had gotten out of hand, both in terms of discipline and in the score.

Draisaitl, McDavid Shut Down in Oilers-Panthers Showdown in Game 3

Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl were unusually absent in the score sheet in the Oilers-Panthers Matchup in Game 3.

McDavid ended the night at 20:51 Ice Age and a min-1 rating over 24 services. He noted two shots on goal.

In the meantime, Draisaitl 20:27 struck the ice over 21 services, failed to get a shot at goal and end the night with a min-2 rating.

The unusual lack of scoring the two largest stars of the oilers is largely due to the solid control of the Panthers. By playing on home ice, Paul Maurice was able to use the last control change to look for more favorable matchups.

It seems that the move worked because the Panthers McDavid and Draisaitl could close in game 3.

However, it cannot be said how long the Panthers McDavid and Draisaitl could keep under wraps. Both stars are known to make games in an instant. That is why Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final Series of the Oilers Panthers will be crucial for both parties, because a Panthers victory would bring the oilers in another apparently insurmountable gap, such as the one with whom they were confronted last spring.
