Thread: Don Cherry says Nail Yakupov ‘acted like an idiot’ during goal celebration:

You can rest assured that the Oilers' will soon have one of the most obnoxious fan bases in the NHL. That team can't suck forever when they keep collecting # 1 draft picks. They will begin to contend any their rabid Canadian fan base will make sure to let everyone know. The only thing that might make them less annoying than Vancouver is that there aren't nearly as many people in EDM than VAN.

Concur.

Somehow I don't remember D-bag Morris stuffing his hands into his pants and skating quietly back to the bench when he scored from the red line on Quick. What an a-hole. Yakupov didn't do anything other than skate behind the net and raise his arms.

I always thought this was a dumb expression. Why should having done it before one from celebrating it?

Maybe I remember it differently, but he did a little more than " skate behind the net and raise his arms."
By a little, I mean a crap load more.

He did a crap load more when he scored against the Kings; against the Yotes, he just skated behind the net....

LIES! He was also smiling!


Some people just can't be trusted to tell the truth.

Sad, really.

Then you missed the overall point my friend. Its about not acting like a d-bag and having some humility to not show people up.
