yes he showboated a bit after. do you really have to post it in multiple threads?

people need to relax. I personally see nothing wrong with an athlete showing raw excitement. its the scripted crap that annoys me. Edmonton just had a goal disallowed a minute earlier (lame call if you ask me) and the kid scores a nice goal with 10 seconds left to overcome the call. he was excited. love it

Overall the entire team played very good hockey... Likely the biggest noticeable is how the defense and goaltending redeemed themselves I cant wait for the Calgary game...

I go to bed after reading about people crying over that celebration, and I wake up to that same thing . Are we really going to come back to this after every blog? I can just see it now:
5 years down the road clouts makes his first preseason blog and... "YA LETZ JUST HOPE YAK DUZNT STEEL THE SPOTLIGHT 2NITE LOL"

Get over it. I can see being a Kings fan and being bitter, which is probably exactly what I'd do in their shoes after such a frustrating game all around, but why is everyone else getting so butthurt over it? As an Oilers fan, it was freaking rad; I was so excited I almost headbutted my dog through a wall. You would feel the same way if it was your boy.

(secretly I quoted that post just to watch it again )

Edit: And for the record, my favorite part about that gif for some reason is how, mid-slide across the ice, the Oilers score changes from 0 to 1. Anyone else notice that?

3. The Oilers needed to pick up a goalie for organizational depth reasons. My guess is he'll be sent to play for the Oilers farm team in OKC, and Tyler Bunz will return to the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL.


ok, I`ll repeat, they can`t send Toivonen down to the OKC. You can`t demote a waiver pickup or he goes back on waivers, 3 pages in and I`m the only one to notice this.........

There was only 4.7 seconds left, so it makes it even better.

I`d like to see Yak sliding down the ice on a shootout attempt....even on his knees, he sure did fly down the ice, and he slid really far nice and straight.

If you thought the game lacks excitement than you are missing so much.
- Fakepartofme


I was referring to the lockout and how they were worried the fans wouldn't be back. This is more exciting than hearing lockout stories on tsn

Again it is a termination contract. I do not think any team will pick up an ECHL goalie on the Waiver wire. Danis on the other hand would get picked off the waiver wire. It isn't really a big deal it is a pick-up to help the organizational depth in goal.

That was CLASSLESS!!

wait...we're talking about throwing garbage on the ice right? Hated that.
Loved the celebration though.

- scotty9_

You think that was bad? In Europe they throw coins at soccer players, storm the field, and shout monkey calls at black players. Fans are really nice here. So what if they launched a few beers at the ice, the ice is already poop, and the refs were nowhere near free from villification after they blew the game.

@TSNRyanRishaug: Eric Belanger wasn’t crazy about the celebration, but also admitted he’s an old school thinker.. Doesn’t expect Yakupov to do it again.

(frank) off, Belanger
