Hockey players are visual learners
Have you ever wondered how NHL players learn new techniques? The answer is by watching highlights of the previous night’s games. This is one of the secrets behind their success. They are visual learners who crave instant feedback and watch replays endlessly. Nowadays, secret plays don’t exist in today’s world because the NHL is a copycat league where players constantly look for new dimensions to add to their game. One unique approach on the power play by one player can resonate throughout the league and be replicated by other teams.
Clayton Keller’s goal shares similarities to Leon Draisaitl’s goal from the previous night
Recently, Clayton Keller scored a beautiful goal that caught the attention of players around the league. His goal shares similarities to Leon Draisaitl’s goal from the previous night, making it a hot topic among NHL players. Clayton Keller’s success can be attributed to his studious nature of watching highlights, studying techniques and replicating them during the game.
Edmonton Oilers’ games are watched closely by other players
In particular, Edmonton Oilers’ games are watched closely by other players because of Draisaitl’s plays. As mentioned earlier, Draisaitl’s unique approach on the power play is expected to be replicated by other teams because it had caught the attention of players around the league. Edmonton Oilers’ fans are proud of Draisaitl for being one of five Oilers players to score 300 career goals, joining an elite list that includes Wayne Gretzky, Jari Kurri, Glenn Anderson, and Mark Messier.
Fastest player to reach 300 career goals
Draisatl became the fastest player to reach 300 career goals by achieving this feat in just 481 games, beating out Gretzky who achieved it in 424 games. Draisaitl’s achievement was hailed by NHL Twitter and fans alike who are now hoping for 300 more goals from him.
Draisaitl’s impressive statistics
In the current season, Draisaitl has played 72 games, scoring 46 goals with a shooting percentage of 20 and contributing to 67 more goals. He has also been involved in penalty minutes and has a total of 55 powerplay goal involvements to his name. In his total of 630 games for the Oilers, he has scored 290 goals, including 53 game-winning goals, and assisted in another 429. He is a well-decorated player having won the Art Ross Trophy, the Hart Memorial Trophy, and the Ted Lindsay Award for being the most outstanding player during the 2019-20 season.
Draisaitl’s role for the Oilers
As Edmonton Oilers continue their quest for division title and a chance at the Stanley Cup in April, Draisaitl’s role will become even more critical. The team is currently placed third in the Western Conference Pacific with 93 points, five behind the division leaders Vegas Golden Knights. With Draisaitl’s contribution, they have a good chance of making it to playoffs.
In conclusion, NHL players’ tendency to replicate successful techniques seen in highlights is one of their secrets to staying ahead of the competition. As visual learners who crave instant feedback, they watch replays endlessly in order to study techniques and implement them during games. This is what sets them apart from average players and leads them to achieve such amazing feats as Leon Draisatl’s accomplishment in achieving 300 career goals faster than any other player in NHL history.
