Leon Draisaitl vs Reporters

[@xViperGTR]

I fuckin love Leon. Dude is just brutally honest against stupid reporters.

This is actually NOT BAD for having to deal with Edmonton media... 😂

That was Jim Matheson... he's been recognized by the HHOF by receiving the Elmer Ferguson Memorial Award back in 2000. I guess a lot of the old school reporters aren't used to young players giving them attitude.

[@allanross6531]

Anyone complaining about this has clearly never met a German before. They don't deal with bullshit kindly. Also, love Leon being the bad cop to McDavid.

That's how you shut down the machine folks! Am in no way a fan of the Oilers but I love watching athletes not taking any baited questions from the media. Like he said: "You can elaborate - You know everything!" Chef's Kiss!

[@Tlilancalqui]

Having a clause in your contract that states that you have to do interviews and answer questions isn't good for anyone. Why do you want someone who doesn't want to talk to you, forced to sit down and talk to you. What do you want to gain by that? Are you trying to create riots? It's no wonder Edmonton players get death threats, with reporters trying to make them look like villains on a daily basis. "Why are you so pissy Leon". - Correct answer: "Because I have to talk to you."

[@parkerma9063]
