I still remember there were posters here who thought that we should take Poolparty over Laine.  LOL

Yakupov is hands down not only the Oilers biggest draft bust but the one of the most notorious first overall bust in NHL history. He’s right up there with Alexandre Daigle and Patrik Stefan. Yakupov was pegged to be a perennial 40-goal scorer when he was drafted. Scouts loved his scoring prowess and ability to do things at high speed.

This looked like a runaway pick for the Oilers. At the time they had Taylor Hall, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Jordan Eberle, and now a pure sniper in Yakupov. All the building blocks were supposed to be there. Yakupov had an impressive rookie season scoring 17 goals and 31 points in 48 games. He finished fifth in Calder Trophy voting and had 11 first-place votes on the ballot.

 

 

2-0 early for TB - Leafs Nation already crapping bricks...

3 - 0 TB over the Laffs after 1 period ...

6-2 Lightning after 2 … the curse of Harold Ballard continues …

That was a blissful second period to watch TB versus the Leafs. No matter this post season, I’ll have this period to remember.

7-3. 

All road teams won yesterday. 

His tears sustain me. 

 

I'm still so pissed and frustrated that Hartman got one lousy meaningless game suspension scores an OT winner against Dallas while Ehlers watches from the sidelines.

Ref called it interference, Wild called it retribution, Bieska called it sneaky dirty, I call it intent to injure that should come with a lot more consequence. I would be saying the exact same thing if a Jet did something like this.

Brutal.

 

What’s Worse: Oilers’ OT Loss or a Maple Leafs’ Blow Out?

Ummm they're both awesome?

Time to pull this one out ...

Worst things the Leafs did? Got home ice to start.

Another way to look at it, the Leafs went four-under on the first hole.

I have a four-pack of craft beer on the line, so I'm hoping it happens. Last night was a convincing win for the Panthers and should put the regular season champs on notice.

Five game series now.
