The Oilers have been absolutely rolling over the past three games, and with the mood high in the locker room, Leon Draisaitl had some fun in the press conference.

Being in Canada in the spotlight, the Edmonton Oilers players and media have always had a very rocky relationship, and no one exemplifies that relationship more than veteran reporter Mark Spector. He's been called out by both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid in recent years, and after the huge Game Six victory, No. 29 got into it again with the veteran.
SPECTOR: Uh, Leon, you should know these commercial flights are killing us old guys.

DRAISAITL: I don't feel bad for you.
When Spector commented that the commercial flights between Edmonton and Florida were killing them, Draisaitl hit back immediately, telling the reporter that he doesn't feel bad for him. In recent years, there's been much more vitriol when the players call him out, but this one had all the makings of a fun moment as the mood in the Oilers locker room seems remarkable.
Game Six was everything that the Edmonton Oilers could have hoped for at home, and now, with Game 7 being winner-take-all, it will be a huge moment for the NHL and these two incredibly talented teams.
