We all know for former Calgary Flames legend Theo Fleury will speak his mind and doesn't care if you like it or not.
After the interesting press conference last night where Leon Draisaitl and Jim Matheson caused a stir on social media, Fleury would take to Twitter to say this,
"Leon comes from the generation of everybody gets a Trophy. Accountability is part of the pay cheque Leon. No wonder you're not winning."

Fleury believes that Leon Draisaitl could help do more to get the team out of the current situation, but to be fair the whole team needs to, but especially goaltending if the Oilers are going to get back on track this season.
Jim Matheson also took to twitter after the conference with Draisaitl to say, "I'd like to thank fellow scribes for having my back. It's not easy out here trying to get quote or two from players who seem to have no respect of the games toughest questions."
I don't believe Leon ment to go off like that on Jim Matheson in my opinion. I think it's just all the frustration boiled over from what at first looked like a promising season for the Oilers, now looking just like another disappointing one.
