to think one of Brian Burke's colleagues wanted to physically fight him during his draft interview for the Flames…
Eakins made him play Second Base, too.
Yakupov was an absolute joke. He couldn't play in any league.
Nail the narcissist 😅
1) he's just isn't that good.
2) playing on a bad team was going to be even more difficult when you're a Muslim that doesn't drink or speak english in Edmonton.
He wasn't that great but he was definitely thrown to the wolves.
"Fail for Nail" became "Nail for fail"
Nyeff-te-himik.
At the NHL level, the "Coach" doesn't teach you, they direct you to their system. YOU put in the work required.
Baby Nail asking for hand outs but not stepping up to the work ethic required.
… And so it takes a man to be accountable. Period.
Keep in mind that if it wasn't for Eakins, whom GM Craig MacTavish hired, the Oilers wouldn't be in a position to win the McDic draft, of which they did. Mac T, the genius. He doesn't get enough credit,that killer! I love him!
so what's his excuse in russia?
Sure be mad at eakins because he was a subpar coach…. but Nail didn't WANT to go to the ahl to improve his game and style of play. He said he would goto the Khl if the Oilers tried and It was Yakupov's inability to play the game in any way other then skating in straight lines that made him unplayable and he absolutely EARNED his plus/minus status
I agree Eakins is a poor coach. but Yak is a punk
Hmm, I wonder if he knows anything about personal accountability? 🤔
