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.
Nail did not fail.
still the biggest goal scored by a russian in NHL history
“Oilers legend”
One could say that he… Nail’d it.
He escaped the Belanger triangle, even if it was just for a moment.
i thought this was a game winner at first. just realizing it’s to tie? pathetic.
Did he over celebrate? That’s all the people could talk about after this. Dude got caught up in the moment, sheesh.
Bro looks like Patrick Kane when he won the cup.
That goal horn sounds so annoying and menacing at the same time
Man, did *this* every piss off Don Cherry.
I still love that goal… great celebration.
I remember watching this game, that goal sucked.
« This is why I voted McDavid 5th. »
​
-That Boston homer probably.
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.
Who ended up winning the game? (Sorry new hockey fan…)
Fun fact, Connor McDavid has put up more goals and assists this season then Nail Yakupov put up in his entire career, including playoffs.
Bro celebrating like he just scored a coast to coast goal in a game 7 OT 🤣🤣
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.
Connor McDavid doesn’t even celly that hard on coast to coast goals, and this man just did an OT game 7 of the Stanley cup finals celly on a tap in rebound
Shame for the Oilers that in a year they so desperately needed to focus on defense and goaltending this was the first round.

I mean you could argue that was his best career highlight, but I’d argue it’s the time he got absolutely steam rolled in the OHL:

Ouch! Yakupov just got burned worse than the Flames in the playoffs.
iirc, the Oilers had a goal called back just a bit before this, and it seemed like they were getting shafted by the refs. But its been awhile so I’m not too sure about that.
