Draisaitl Embraces Babcock’s Accountability | Edmonton Oilers News

Leon Draisaitl embraces accountability under new coach Mike Babcock, praising his no-favorites approach and seeing it as vital for team growth. Reflecting on last season, Draisaitl admits the Oilers lacked rhythm and a consistent identity across 82 games — a hallmark of championship teams. With playoff runs behind them, the roster is eager for change, and Babcock’s proven track record — including multiple titles — adds credibility. The real test? Whether his intense, disciplined style can adapt to today’s NHL and this specific group without favoritism, while still holding everyone — stars and depth players alike — to the same high standard. Success hinges on tough calls that may be unpopular but are necessary for progress. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
