Draisaitl has worn the lazy moniker since he was 16 years old with the Prince Albert Raiders. I agree with the deceiving long strides, but I find people forget the plays he drives multiple times a game with someone on his back and tend to focus on his half hearted line changes that are caught on camera. That, or his lack of enthusiasm.

A grimace in Germany is a smile in North America.


I remember this too. Before he was drafted by the Oilers I heard about him. Went to see him play a couple times and remember being unimpressed at first. I thought he was slow and lazy.
Then I watched closer and realized just how good he was and how many good things happened when he was on the ice.
It maybe why I defend him so strongly now. I don't know if there has ever been a player that I was so wrong about on my first impression.
