These reporters like to dig and dig and dig at players and then play the victim. This guy was borderline aggressive. Say "you get pissy" to a regular guy on the streets and see how he reacts
poking the bull then playing the victim. israel tactics
He get paid 8.5 million dollars a year, he should be able to handle taking a couple questions.
They ask Professional Athletes the Same Stupid Sh...t everyday...Replies are not necessary to Stupid F..G Questions. Find some new material Reporters..Please
@@dukestorm8813 thats not what he gets paid to do. He has no obligation to answer his questions with anything other than a basic yes or no. Reporter doesn’t like it then too bad.
@@Quarthon this is exactly how you end up in the dog house for 2-4 weeks 😂
“Why are you so pissy, Leon?” I would’ve walked out that instant, what a stupid thing to say to one of the best players in the league
He definetly wanted to, but he's just there so he doesn't get fined
Reporter was a Rude A...Hole.

Why you so pissy Leon. Um maybe cause the team hasn’t won anything since Christmas like really
So what if he's great be respectful and answer the questions!!
@@PieEater are you sure that's true? I've been looking for info regarding the answer to this and if you have a source please share
What do these reporters expect him to say, they've asked him the same questions 8 times when they've played 3 games in 4 weeks, who wouldn't get annoyed at that
Makes you wonder what a ‘good’ response is 0:53
@SumOfIt Totally agree here. Seems like a taboo thing to say, but the Oilers are not going to get much improvement on the backend if they don't trade some of our "top" players like Drai or Nuge...sure, we want to keep them, but seems like we keep losing even with these star players in the lineup. And lets face it, GM and coaching changes have been tried many times already.
Yeah, but he gets paid 8.5 million dollars a year, he should not get “pissy” of a couple of questions.

Reporters always want them to say something that goes viral, they just want to provoke and create drama. It's so stupid because as a player you never have the same perspective as a fat guy sitting on a couch watching hockey.
So unprofessional, the reporter.
I know right! I’m not a pro at reporting but I know not to poke at a player or coach when they’re in a bad mood.
Jim Matheson. Oiler fans wanted him shot into the stars for years now. He's an embarrassment to journalism and professionalism
@@gracesuyat2919 so is the entire oilers franchise XD
Both were unprofessional
@@chrisg1556 what did you want Drat to say, Chris? He was unprofessional for being short because his team’s in a rut and he doesn’t wanna talk about it? That’s lame. You okay sports growing up? Besides, I know you guys know all about professionalism in Toronto, though… 😂
This was painful to watch 😬. The reporter was out of line here.
NEXT HOME GAME '' I AM PISSY' t-shirts with oilers logo on it...................... I have copywrited it already. Will be sold
Every oiler fan has wanted Matheson shot into the sun years ago. He's an embarrassment to the franchise and journalism in general
No Leon is just too delicate to handle pressure maturely
Dude asks the most ridiculous questions then gets shocked when Leon is short with him. Got to be one of the most unprofessional reporters I have heard. Players and coaches are allowed to get frustrated, media members shouldn't and be holding themselves to a more professional manner
Reporter was wrong but Leon could have handled it better than by saying "You know everything".
Leon instigated by being a total a-hole.
Reporter finished it off by not putting up with it.
I don't blame either guy quite frankly. Players get sick of the post-game questions when they lose and reporters get sick of players acting like a-holes when they're just doing their job (the reporters I mean).
Agreed
Player should be allowed to get frustrated. Reporter should be allowed to say “I’m just doing my job don’t take your frustrations out on me.” I don’t think either person is in the wrong, if anything this sort of confrontation is good to see, shits boring when everything is robotic and scripted.
@@taekwondotime the reporter was a jerk for being bothered by someone being asked the same question over and over and over and over again. They are part of the game but truthfully just dumb questions. Try being on that side of things before calling him an a-hole...
Imagine if this reporter asked Torts, “Why are you so pissy?”😂😂😂 RIP
Torts you ever fought before
or asking those types of questions to an enforcer type player.
@@schmingusss remember when those players actually existed?
@@DPHPGF you think that reporter would say those things to Milan Lucic ?
@@schmingusss yes... Look up the reporter in question
Someone send Leon a "I'm not pissy" shirt to wear to his next press-con, would be so funny.
Lovely I lovely
Clearly Leon wanted to smash him.
Maybe Oilersnation should send him a t shirt they already made one. 😂
@@darcyn.buffalo681 📸
Or, "Ask me if I'm pissy"
Draisaitl had more patience than I would have.

@@robe3883 put piss in that reporters Gatorade will get you paid better.
why are you so pissing , Leon ,? well the team is on a freefall again , the goaltending suck , we are a one line team ,everyone have covid , and i have to answer your moron questions ,other than that ,it just wonderful ,and you think i i'm "pissy" any other questions?
@@robe3883 Oil Nation probably making them rn
@@robe3883 lol that made me laugh good. thanks.
wow I never expected him to call him pissy, that's way over the line
If he's not going to answer questions, why agree to an interview?
@@EdwardRobelo terrible mindset
@@EdwardRobelo media availability is a requirement in the league. These players don't want to be there, get a clue.
@@ripcord8781 he SAID "the players DONT want to be there" he didnt say anything about them not having to be there. Everybody knows it's in their contracts to appear in front of the media, in every pro sport. Remember Marshawn Lynch's famous quote after every question? "I'm just here so don't get fined"
@@ripcord8781 he said they dont want to be there not dont have to pick up a book bud
Jim: 'I ask you a question'
Leon: 'I gave you an answer'
Jim: 'Not very good one...'
The quality of the answer mirrors the quality of the question Jim.
This should have been the time too talk about there practice not bring up things we already know like what else can he say I’m pretty sure every oilers player has answered this question at least five times now they suck there bad they need help they need fixing we know this move on
Had Spock answered, that would have been it for sure.
The reporter did exactly what my brother does in an argument. Poke and prod and wind you up. Then calls you pissy to draw a reaction.
That’s how petty the reporter is. Siblings arguing levels
I totally agree with you. The tactics of a bully, now the reporter has a reaction and story.
Shows the age of the people replying to this
Straight out of the Donald Trump playbook.
Reporter: You think it's a great thing to show the other team you're frustrated?
Draisaitl: Do you think it's professional to use the word "pissy" during an interview?
Wicked answer Leon...lol...i would have said the same thing. Stupid edmonton media!!
@@jasongreatrix5534 ya Jim Matheson, is stupid! He's only a hockey Hall of famer. Dummy
@@user-dl3pe3nr1s Ya he is stupid , who asks the same frickn question over and over dummy!! Especially when you get the same answer the first 50 times you asked it!!
THE NHL IS EXPECTED FOR YOU TO MAINTAIN PROFESSIONALISM AND TO FOLLOW CONDUCT CODES AS INSTRUCTED.
@@user-dl3pe3nr1s damn hes a hall of famer for riding the coattails of a legendary team, very impressive
hes not even inducted himself, just articles hes wrote
Leon didn't really get into it with the reporter. He did a good job of not going back at him
Best way to get an interviewee to open up is to call them pissy and question the quality of their answers. That reporter’s an unprofessional tool.
I'm loving Leon more and more. His sarcasm and annoyance with the media are well appreciated and respected. If he ever wants to leave Edmonton, I will welcome him to the Shark Tank anytime.
I'll be sad if he does, but I also won't blame him.
@@YouCantDeleteDenzelL we're keeping him... unless chiarelli comes back...
@@matthewwiebe2228 we BETTER be. He and McDavid are two incredible class acts and team leaders.
@@YouCantDeleteDenzelL the best to watch too
We’re one step remove from the whole oilers saying “I’m just here so I don’t get fined”
Love the little smile as Leon dips out
You really can’t argue that the Oilers really do need to get better at everything
As an oilers fan, The truth hurts haha
well they have
Lol that reporter was out of line.
Jim Matheson is the worst reporter. I hope he gets fired
Back in the day he clearly said that he wanted the oilers to trade Gretzky? He's got a goof edge in him.
Just so everyone knows this reporter is long-time Katz brown-noser Jim Matheson. Jim Matheson has consistently belittled players over his career, and then, when those players leave town, Jim Matheson writes articles about how "it was the fans" that drove them out. Jim Matheson is terrible at his job, and has been for a long time. Not one Oilers fan respects Jim Matheson, and not one hockey fan should.
Thanks for this. Now every fan and non fan please take note of this so called reporter's name. Cheers! "Everybody knows his name". Go Leon, go! Go Oilers, go. True fans are with you.
This was hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Good luck getting another question answered by ANY Oiler
Tippett was asked the exact same question as Leon, and Tippett was dismissive. The reporter had no issues then, but if it's Leon, all of a sudden he has a problem.
I love how the last question the reporter knew how dumb it was but wanted to ask it anyways coz he was annoyed by leons answers.
Wow, that was probably the most unprofessional I heard a reporter. Good on Draisaitl for being the true professional here.
What a crap line of questioning. He starts by trying to bait him into throwing someone (koskinen) under the bus and gets mad when he won’t. Asks the least professional question I’ve ever heard in an interview and then tries to push the issue with a loaded follow up. Props to Leon for just laughing it off.
What the journalist wanted to hear; "Our goaltenders suck ass"
I don't blame Leon at all..Why are you so pissy ? Gtfo it's none of your business 😅
It's literally HIS business to ask these questions. I hate this culture in american sports of athletes disrespecting every journalist out there, you should pay attention to it too and you'd notice
@@OPAP12 Or maybe actually ask decent questions not dum ones the entitlement of reporters lately is just mind boggling.
@@OPAP12 Ive had similar arguments with my sister. stop taking them flintstone vitamins and see that Mr. Reporter is asking childish questions For his next headline. If anything this is bad for the culture
This could have been Draisaitls first career fight with the Reporter lmao imagine a fist fight
NEXT HOME GAME '' I AM PISSY' t-shirts with oilers logo on it...................... I have copywrited it already. Will be sold
@@robe3883 "Bunch of jerks" t-shirts sold like crazy, don't see why these wouldn't as well, could even put Dr Drai's signature at the bottom as well
I love Leon. Never change.
asking the same questions constantly during a losing streak is irritating for players and coaches.
like did you expect a different answer? reporter must stop
Ah, reporter asking the question is Jim Matheson. Matheson has been with the Edmonton Journal since 1973. He is 72 years old. Furthermore, he is also in the HHOF. Extremely unprofessional.
I wonder if Jim really regrets that interaction. Maybe he was just having a super bad day and was crazy grumpy. We all have those days.
The second he said 'pissy' I would have ended the interview. A reporters job is to ask questions, not belittle and antagonize the person being interviewed. Who does this guy actually think he is?
Reporter thinks he’s something.
Leon said he’s not lol 😂
He asked the same question earlier in the same interview and Leon gave a proper answer. Not sure how people even defend Matheson anymore
It's been mentioned time and again of how hostile the media in Edmonton is towards it's team. This's why nobody really wants to play in Edmonton. It's an awful place to live, and even worse people to play for compared to every other team in the league. Fire the coach they say. One could only imagine that after 8 previous coaches, that it's simply not the issue. I blame the media and Matheson is a prime example of what's wrong with Edmonton. It's completely demeaning and demoralizing to the players, with questions like that show a complete lack of respect to the players integrity and dignity.
Is that why? Or is it living in Edmonton that’s the real issue?
Draisaitl was actually really cool with him. The reporter was the pissy one, and always asks the worse questions.
Hockey Hall of Fame reporter Jim Matheson is pissy? He always asks the "worse' questions? Do you watch hockey?
@@user-dl3pe3nr1s just relax and push 🅿️
Drai, I feel your pain, man.
I wish they could just end this media availability stuff, every sport. Very little ever comes from these things besides negatives. Reporters trying to get players into gotcha moments or hang their teammates out to dry, players who are mostly only there from obligation, not actual desire to be, even when they win. The most prominent memories of these pressers are the ones where you think you wouldn't mind seeing some knuckles get chucked or the occasional laugh amongst all in the room. How to come back in the third period, what went wrong, what do you have to do better next game, who would you rather face in the next series, what do you have to do to beat so-and-so next round. Its almost like Barry Bonds was correct most of the time. Next question... cause it was stupid
But I wanna hear that the solution to every losing scenario is to get pucks deep, get back to fundamentals, get pucks on net, stick to our system, and keep things simple.
Haha yea exactly, just gotta play smart and cut down on the mistakes :)
No, we don't have to, I was saying I think we should, or we could make it fully optional for any player or coach who wants to go into the media room for questions, not out of some obligation. And in part, because of the very reasoning I said in the initial post. Why is it part of the job as an athlete? Because that's been the standard? Because the same media that uses athletes for their own fodder are the ones telling us its their job? Players are not public servants, our taxes don't pay them directly. The athletes would still do the same job if they did not do media pressers
How'd he get a third question?
Good response Leon❤️that’s what they get for asking stupid questions LOL
The reporter has an anger issue himself. He should be disqualified for insulting the player ….period
He should have just said. Make up whatever reason you like and print it. That's what most reporters do. 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely love leon draisaitl! He's frustrated but amazing what he's done for the Oilers. Clutch player!
That reporter needs to get better. Leon's played his guts out this year. 'We have to get better at everything' is a perfectly good and accurate answer when a team is struggling.
GO OILERS!!!🤸👍🤸
And I mean really, at this point, what else is he supposed to say? We all know the team as a whole isn’t playing nearly as well as did at the start of the season, and I don’t think Draisaitl is the type of guy to give excuses either
He’s been asked this same question for weeks Kassian said it best we have no more answers and it’s true like there’s only so many times you can be asked the same question.
Sounds like my sister and my mom
“Why r you so pissy?”
“I’m not!”
"Why are you being so pissy"
- self entitled reporter letting his emotions overrule his professionalism.
Think its time nhl teams livestream and have players answer the fans questions rather than these sport networks
That's a good idea. Either that or let the players punch their lights out......5 for fighting, in this case a 5 dollar fine.
This was right after the reporter belittled Koskinen in his interview with him.. As others have mentionned, Matheson has always been a joke in the reporting world.. Good on Draisaitl haha.
What answers does Jim Matheson expect, when asking rhetorical questions?
Well said.
All this said to me is "I'm having a bad day and I'm taking it out on Leon Draisaitl". How unprofessional
I love seeing player vs reporter battles.
"Battle"
I would like to see Petterson with this reporter. He would be so passive aggressive. Would be hilarious.
"Why you being so pissy" is not a question. At first blush I thought, Matheson what are you doing. Maybe, just maybe Matheson said to himself "I know, I'm gunna get Leo pissed at me and give the team something to rally around"... hmmm
Leon shoulda destroyed him.
Nah screw that that reporter has some balls
@@DPHPGF I like the fact that he’s just a reporter but he’d throw down with Leon for the attitude. And yes I’m pretty sure Leon would destroy him. I like it when people call it like it is.
@@loganspence8018 There's nothing ballsy about this, he's basically holding the player in hostage. You think he would say "why are you so pissy" in an aggressive tone if he was in front of him without cameras? He would not.
Reporter should be fired. Clown
Jim tried to bait him, Leon shut it down. Simple.
Honestly Leon showed a lot of maturity and composure. I think I would’ve went all Tortz on him.
You ever fought before what Torts asked Brooski lol
I definitely would've gone Tortz
Ask stupid questions get stupid answers 🙄
That reporter has no right to call him “pissy” he’s a pro athlete with a struggling team, obviously he’s upset he wants to win lol
Some things Leon needs to clean up in game but I see him giving it his all each night and he gets frustrated you don’t get frustrated unless you care
Can you imagine if he had asked Torterella that question … we’d probably still be looking for Mathesen body !
Title should read "Reporter disrespects player." I was expecting an argument and all I saw was a guy calmly shrug off a moron's question. I'm so used to watching MMA/UFC interviews I'm surprised how chill hockey players are like this
The players shouldn't have to deal with reporters like this. In this case, the reporter was the pissy one, Draisaitl was simply answering the questions and the reporter got mad when he didn't get the answer he wanted. Draisaitl handled it perfectly.
My mother always said, “if you don’t want a stupid answer, don’t ask a stupid question.”
Leon Draisaitl: all star player
Jim Matheson: all star twat
Jim Matheson is in the Hockey Hall of Fame. Last time I checked Leon isn’t . In fact he was one f the team leaders for a team circling the drain. Grow up LD.
Time for Jim Matheson to retire. He never would say that to Mark Messier or Gretzky. Messier would have taken Matheson aside for a private conversation after a question like that.
The entitlement of the reporter lol the balls this guy had if I was Leon, I would have walked out right away, I can’t believe he actually listened to another question this guy had
The reporter Jim Matheson and he’s been asking Leon the same question for weeks now and then has the audacity to ask why Leon’s pissy
I would be pissy if I provided answers that even kids can understand time and time again. Kudos to Leon maintaining his composure and not being pissy.
🤡 organization, fire that reporter. I'm not usually one for cancel culture but what an embarrassment for the sport.
It’s. It cancel culture if you just suck at your job
Wow, poor professionalism and empathy from the reporter. I would've walked out on him much sooner.
Better Leon stood his ground or else Matheson would go on in his blog that Leon just walked out multimillionaire can’t answer questions. You know how they spin things so I’m proud of Leon
I didn’t even know reporters were allowed to do this 😂
In all honesty, Leon didn’t get pissed till after the reporter asked him about getting “pissy”
What does Matheson want from Draisaitl? Do they want him to throw x person under the bus? Also he is asking questions that are framed in a way that piss people off. When Draisaitl didn't bite on the initial stupid question, he says, "why are you mad?" Really trying to get him to slip something negative out.
He just wants to write something juicy in his blog all it is
The reporter thinks Leon should play goalie and be a defenseman.smh.
The reporter is Jim Matheson. He has always asked questions like this for years. Even at the worst of times. Dude needs to get banned from press meetings or get a lesson in etiquette. If there is someone who looks over this stuff. I would have advise them to check this stuff before star players are ran out of town because they have to deal with scrutiny face to face with these morons.
Have my money ready.....whoever is selling "I'm not Pissy" t-shirts please let me know :)
Love too see oilers fans show up wearing those shirts and camera zooms in on Leon laughing that be soo good
Yeah I like it! Let’s go Leon!!😂😂
I wonder what that reporter looks like. That's classic! 😂
If the Oilers win the cup, I hope Leon looks into the nearest camera and says "NOT SO PISSY NOW, AM I MATHESON?"
Lazy reporter asking the same questions to every player.
Good job Leon
If these boys in Edmonton get thru this and battle the adversity, when they start winning again, they will not want to lose so they will be playing more desperately which means they will be dangerous! I'm a diehard Blues fan and watching this Oilers team so far this season... this has the echos of the 2019 SC Champion StL Blues and what they were going thru just before they turned it on and took over the league and they didn't look back until they got what they wanted. Remember I said this.. this
Nah blues where a great team with top notch defence and scoring with a sub par goalie then binnington came and completed the package. They made it to the conference finals a lot before that too but Chicago was in its dynasty era. The oilers have not that great defence goal tending and not enough depth.
Nawww the Blues were severe under achievers in 18/19 & had a good team with brutal goaltending until Binnington arrived in the New Year and then they immediately started winning again. Blues had the playoff experience already as well while the Oilers have none
@@pickachu69 Oh totally , I understand that but, If the goal-tending "situation" gets better somehow and the D-men have confidence in whoever's behind them in the net, I dont see why these boys couldnt turn it around and have an epic rest of the season because they definitely have the talent and skill... BUT, I guess the real question/s still remains to be seen, and that is.. 1st. - Can they handle this adversity and get thru it in a positive way and 2nd.- will they have the drive, the hunger and passion to be legit Cup contenders once they start playing good hockey again.. And with having the 2 best players in the league, (the world, arguably), playing in Edmonton, you would have to think that good things are coming!. Stay positive my, hockey friend! Maybe my Blues will see your Oilers in the finals one day...??
he’s just asking the most passive aggressive questions, leon was bound to snap.
Respects to Leon man all these reporters try to do is get a reaction out of people in general…
This is sports journalism now. This guy just wanted to frame his narrative and get Draisatl to agree with it. It’s all a flex to show how intelligent he is and it falls flat every single time. He’s BEGGING Draisatl to throw goaltending or secondary scoring under the bus so he can write about it.
Would love Draisatl to get a few moments alone with the “reporter”
Reporters like him are going to drive the stars out of Edmonton
Along with the weather, taxes, and nothing to do but shovel snow and skate. Duncan Keith might be the first player in NHL history to ask for a trade to Edmonton.
Nah, the edmonton oilers are whats going to drive the stars out of edmonton. If the oilers were good and winning none of this would matter. Nobody wants to be on a losing team
Reporter: Why do you suck? Leon: Cause I ate fish today and it tasted horrible. Reporter: Why are you pissy? Leon: Cause you're here.
This is like when your mom accuses of you having attitude
Holland should have to be the one to answer the reporters questions
Draisaitl dealt with him... efficiently...
Edmonton is the problem, I was born and raised there, and moved away. the energy of the city is so toxic. Anyone who visits can feel it. Draining
Here to mention that this may have been the turning point of the season for the Oilers. Mikko turned around, they got a new coach, hope seems to be instilled again. Drai is a legend.
That was the best interview ever, I like Leon even more
Good for Leon for not taking the bait from this low life. That reporter became abusive, aggressive and confrontational.
Whoever he works for should be embarrassed and reprimand his inappropriate-ass for such conduct.
Abusive? Come on.
Reporter has an ego. Give me his job!
I don't blame Leon. He's not an eloquent speaker so therefore he doesn't know how to give a well-thought answer. Most athletes have no thought-provoking answers because they have barely any real life experience before being thrusted into the spotlight and showered with money at a young age. How many of them have ever interviewed for a real job and had to answer questions like "where do you see yourself in 20 years"
Leon is a great speaker. He is just too much of a gentleman to tell JM where he should go.
Leon should have Will Smithed the reported
LOL
I love Leon’s approach to this whole thing. He is going to give them the answer they want so they can spin it, and when the reporter asks him the question about Ottawa to basically piss him off, he just answers cool and calmly. Elite player on and of the ice lol.
As someone who hates the Oilers, yk it’s bad when even I get frustrated listening to this reporter.
Reporters are the kids who didn’t get picked in elementary school.
When it’s not about Toronto I say he’s doing his job lol
Common Leon W.
I want to see the next interview and see how they are with each other for the rest of the season. If the oilers let him back in the press room.
John Tortorella is the man for the job!
Egotistical, self-absorbed “Reporter”
tries to bait LD into fight!
There! I fixed your story headline.
