I remember watching this game and thinking he just made himself very unpopular in the dressing room.

Highlight of his career. The only thing useful he’s done.

We thought he was the second coming of Bure for roughly 5 minutes before Yak fell off the continent, landing somewhere back in Siberia.

He escaped the Belanger triangle, even if it was just for a moment.

Did he over celebrate? That’s all the people could talk about after this. Dude got caught up in the moment, sheesh.

The Brian Burke interview about Yakupov was hilarious. He was such an ass that in the draft interview, the GM wanted to fight him lol.
Would love to know Oilers thoughts on him at the time.

Fun fact, Connor McDavid has put up more goals and assists this season then Nail Yakupov put up in his entire career, including playoffs.

I mean come on he was new and who wouldn’t be excited to force OT in a nhl game. He was caught up in the moment. Let the man live.
