"I felt like I was playing on one leg. For almost a month"

Leon Draisaitl's balance sheet is sensational - in a positive sense. The forward of the Edmonton Oilers has already been top scorer in the NHL, as well as MVP and Germany's Sportsman of the Year. Last season he was second in the top scorers list with 55 goals - despite an injury at the end of the season. After the first two games of the season, he has one goal and four assists in the statistics. In the USA, Draisaitl has long since matured into a superstar, even though it is unfinished. The 26-year-old has never won the Stanley Cup.

Question: You used to stick a note on the door of your child's room with the inscription "Only the tough come into the garden" - based on the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York. Have you taken that to heart now?

Leon Draisaitl: Yes, I gritted my teeth. I had no other choice. I changed my game. I didn't have the liveliness and power to get past people. So I slowed down the game and tried to finish faster. It worked really well.

Question: The Calgary Flames players deliberately went for your injury in the quarterfinals. Were you mad about that?
