This afternoon, Evander Kane didn't hold back during an interview when Sportsnet reporter Mark Spector questioned him. Earlier this week, Spector had criticized Kane's influence on the Oilers on a podcast, suggesting that Kane was a major source of drama for the team.

As has been the case all of Kane's career, too much drama, boys. Too much drama around Evander Kane. Useless drama. I'll do what every player on every other team does. Yeah, maintenance day, I'm gonna try hard tomorrow. This is needless drama that you don't need starting playoffs, that you don't want in your dressing room. The guys we talk to about Evander Kane running his course - He doesn't run his course as a player, he runs his course as a bringer of drama.

Spector's comments focused on Kane's reputation for stirring up controversy, a narrative that has followed Kane through much of his career. Despite these claims, Kane has largely kept a low profile this season, avoiding any significant distractions.

When faced with Spector during a press conference, Kane took the opportunity to turn the tables. Responding to a direct question from Spector, Kane wittily remarked that he thrives on drama, hinting that the challenges only fuel his performance.

Just the drama of it all just brings the best out of me.

With the Oilers currently leading their playoff series against the Kings 2-1, Kane's ability to focus on the game will be crucial as they aim to secure a victory in the series.
