After a long string of losses and just overall poor play, Oilers star forward Leon Draisaitl was put in front of the media to try and explain why Edmonton has only earned five points since Dec. 1.

One beat writer in particular did not like the answers Draisaitl was giving, creating this exchange for the ages — a classic clash between player and reporter that might be shown on Top 10’s for the next decade.

Jim Matheson, who has covered the team since its inception into the WHA in 1973, really did not care for any sort of reporter-player balance on Tuesday.

After being flippant when confronted with the typical question: asking a currently-bad team what they need to work on, Draisaitl just wanted to kill a blanket question with a blanket answer.
