Leon Draisaitl vs Reporters

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

[@calvinw8470]

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]

Lol love his responses, 😂😂 ask dumb questions get sassy responses.

[@BloodRider1914]

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.

[@thewanderer8643]

haha true that. But ever met a Russian? They'll usually hammer any bullshit back at you very quickly and easily, even females

[@AnSturbin]

1:42 the difference between media personnel and players. The media guys imagined they were their favourite players, but the real players imagined themselves playing in the cup final.

[@bobbymauro3721]

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!

[@Csimon2429]

Damn I thought our VanCity Sports reporters were intrusive. If Leon has to deal with that last reporter every game, give him a media bonus. He's throwing Leon guilt trips like he's his 8th grade guidance counselor.

[@Jontism]

Canadian reporters are NOTORIOUS for asking really stupid/obvious questions, and they do it so often that players and coaches get fed up and often get snarky with them. Like, WHY are you asking him "does it suck when you play bad" what answer do you expect anyone to give? Lmao

[@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."

[@samdunkaroos]

Mark Spector and Jim Matheson highlights

[@christinebailey9935]

It’s the same song with all players from all the NHL. My guess is they put everyone’s name in a helmet and draw the name of the poor guy who has to face the reporters. Those who can play hockey. Those who can’t ask stupid questions of those who can.
