<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>
