After three straight disappointing losses, Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl absolutely went off on his coaches, teammates, goalies, and anyone else associated with the disappointing run they’ve been on. He did not hold back. Watch:\u00a0<\/p>\n

And it starts at the top. We can be better. Our leaders can be better…’I think there’s saves that our goalies need to make at some point’: Draisaitl<\/p>\n “We’ve\u00a0got to defend better, we’ve got to make it easier on (goalie Tristan Jarry), and then I\u2019m sure he can be a little bit better too…\u00a0I think there\u2019s saves that our goalies need to make at some point.\u201d Ouch.\u00a0<\/p>\n Those comments come just five days after\u00a0Jarry had fired the first salvos, blasting his new team’s defense.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s tough, the chances we\u2019re giving up, some of the shots, they\u2019re tough,\u201d said Jarry, who was brought in back in December to be the ‘answer’ in goal. \u201cA lot of Grade A\u2019s (chances), a lot of breakdowns. It\u2019s tough to really think about your game at this point, it\u2019s a whole team game.\u201d<\/p>\n It was a 7-3\u00a0whipping at the hands of the Minnesota Wild that triggered those comments from Jarry. That game was followed by\u00a0a 5-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs and then last night’s 4-3 loss to their bitter Alberta rivals, the Calgary Flames.<\/p>\n Some are even wondering if head coach Kris Knoblauch is in jeopardy after hearing Drai’s rant that targeted coaching. It’s doubtful, but Oilers analyst David Staples<\/a> feels that perhaps an assistant or two could take a fall.<\/p>\n The Oilers will now have the two-week Olympic break to think about all this sniping back and forth, and figure out how to right the ship for the stretch run.\u00a0<\/p>\n
