Jay Woodcroft Calls Out Oilers Reporter During Interview
In a recent press conference with the head coach of the Edmonton Oilers, a reporter from TSN, Ryan Rishaug, raised a question regarding Leon Draisaitl leaving practice early after getting hit in the face with a puck. Rishaug inquired, "I just wanted to ask about Draisaitl. It looked like he took a stick or something like that. Is he all good for tomorrow?"
Woodcroft, known for his sense of humor, responded with a mischievous tone, "Did he leave the ice?" Rishaug confirmed, to which Woodcroft playfully remarked, "I'm just teasing you, Ryan. I'm sure you broke the news. I would say that it's a little bit of playoff makeup and he probably had 1 or 2 sutures. He'll be just fine."
However, it's worth noting that Woodcroft made a lighthearted reference to Rishaug's reporting, suggesting that some of the information shared by the reporter could be taken with a grain of salt. While there may be occasional inaccuracies in any reporter's work, it's important to recognize that journalists strive to provide the most up-to-date and accurate information possible.
In conclusion, Woodcroft's response provided reassurance that Draisaitl's injury was minor and that he would be ready for the upcoming game. The playful exchange between Woodcroft and Rishaug highlights the camaraderie and banter often found in the world of sports reporting.
