<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leon You Hot Bitch is an inside joke many of my fellow Nation citizens have come to enjoy throughout the 21/22 season. It started in late 2018 within my hockey group chat that included people from all over the world that loved being silly about the oilers as much as I did. </span></p>

<p>We used the phrase consistently as Draisaitl began climbing the point totals and making it our way of celebrating him.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And so, when you have an inside joke, photoshop, and access to the internet anything is possible.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2021-2022 season began and a few weeks after the home opener I remembered I had photoshopped a Sportsnet graphic to say &#8220;Leon You Hot Bitch&#8221; and had tweeted it after Leon had scored.</span></p>
