Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin discuss Leon Draisiatl and his unnecessary penalties in last night’s 4-3 OT win over the Philadelphia Flyers. Head Coach kris Knoblauch decided to bench the star forward for multiple shifts, before Draisaitl scored the eventual OT winner.
Does Leon need to find a way to control his emotions? Or is this what comes with the emotional former 50 goal scorer? Let us know what you think in the comments.

People are saying Draisaitl and I get it but Nuge needs to sit the hell down. That third goal that got scored on us was flat out no effort by Nuge who has been playing lazy all year so far.
He didn’t say the call was unnecessary. He said his cross check was!
The attitude speaks to culture.
The team does not have an adequate culture of accountability. Some individuals may, but some do not and it brings the entire group down.
Leon has NEVER been a hustler……..he has a good one-timer and that is his strength……..backchecking, forechecking, and carrying the puck are outside of his strengths. It’s patently obvious.
He was accountable he got benched and now it sends a message to the whole team
Leave Leon alone Ik it’s a bad penalty but at least he cares and was frustrated by the start of the year and that game
Drai needs to get his temper under control
I dunno man Drai just gives up at times, see it happening quite often where it looks like hes putting minimal effort in too getting to the puck
Leon’s contract is terrible, not like nurse bad but he’s a PP specialist who floats around and doesn’t contribute 5vs5. It’s going to age really really bad. They needed to keep Holloway and especially broberg being he was way better than nurse last year.
