Fans are losing their minds over Leon Draisaitl's shootout goal
Fans around the NHL have been marvelling at Leon Draisait's shootout goal against the Vancouver Canucks during the Oilers preseason game.
According to Daily Hive, After 40 minutes of rather uninspired hockey against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night, the Oilers decided to turn up the heat with a beautiful goal from Corey Perry and a powerplay marker from defencemen Ben Gleason.
The two teams then played a frantic OT period that saw grade-A chances at either end of the ice. It was a shootout goal from Draisaitl, however, that ended up being the talk of the game as he opted to take a blistering slapshot from the slot.
Leon Draisaitl AKA "The Deutsch Dangler" has always been recognized for his sneaky offensive abilities. Being the preseason, Leon definitely wanted to try something a little different when head coach Knoblauch called his number for the shootout.
Take a look at some of the fan reactions from around the league:
