Leon Draisaitl scores, fist pumps and celebrates
Through seven NHL games there was fear, worry and anxiety that Edmonton rookie Leon Draisaitl should, dare we say it, turn into another Nail Yakupov. After all, the 18-year-old Draisaitl, the No. 3 pick in the 2014 draft, had just two points.
Worry no more. In game eight he has scored.
Sarcasm aside, at very least we found out he has the whole celeberation thing down sort of like the 2012 No. 1 pick who has become somewhat of a pariah in Edmonton. Behold Draisaitl's first NHL goal, which was game-winner in the Oilers' 6-3 win over Carolina.
You gotta love the fist pump and him knocking down Andrew Ference ... but mostly the fist pump
