Nail Yakupov Has Some Tricks

((HT: Sportsnet West))

When the Edmonton Oilers drafted Nail Yakupov to go along with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall, the fans at Northlands were hoping that a very young team would score a lot of goals...

They're getting there... in this shortened season, they're only five points out of the 8-spot...

And this is a lesson for all television broadcasters...
Always roll tape when there's a player near your on-air talent...

Yakupov was having a little fun before the game the other night...
And got real fancy...

Always roll tape, always have fun...

Was Yakupov's Celebration Too Much...???

((HT: Sportsnet.ca))

Here's the question of the day...???

Was the goal celebration of Edmonton Oilers rookie Nail Yakupov not enough, just enough, or too much...??? Considering it was a game-tying goal and not a game-winner... considering he's a rookie fresh off the Draft...

Considering all of that stuff...

The "Hockey Central" folks discuss...
The HQ is somewhat torn on the decision... While we dig the celebration, and it reminds us of a young Ilya Kovalchuk ((HT: RDS/NHL))
It's prolly a little too soon for the slide and glide...
