I hate Yakupov. Do you?

[Axeman33]

Zero apologies from me. You ****ed up our election and by extension our country. I wouldnt even piss on a Russian who was on fire.

I may be wrong here, but just taking a guess when I say that I do not think that SergeP is Russian.

I disliked Yak even before he entered the NHL. Had an interaction with him while I was working Front Desk at a hotel in Van where the Junior Russia Team (u19?) and they were touring Canada for the subway series. This was the fall after Yak had been drafted and his group got off the bus and all the players were being informed of their bunkmates for the stay.

Yak got triggered when he saw he didnt have a room to himself and starting yelling at the coaches and then ran to me and started bitching about how he wasn't sharing a damn room with Andrey Makarov (goalie). The team had only contracted so many rooms but we had availability and I told him if he wanted his own room he would have to pay which was like $150 at the time. He then went off to me about how he was a superstar and should be given better treatment and stormed off cursing at me and his teammates

Yup, pretty much from that moment I enjiyed his slow demise! Good riddance.

First hand account! Nice.

I'm guessing it was November 13, 2012. That was the day the hate grew inside you.

We had a really nice country and it is in the process of being ruined by an ignorant scumbag who was placed on the throne by Russian agents. I really liked my country, but now I am making plans to leave. This vexes me greatly.
Russians did this. It's a fact.
P.S. My loathing of Yak has nothing to do with being Russian. He is a Dolly Parton regardless of nationality.

4 pages on Yak... man, we're almost at his career total for goal.

We passed his full nhl seasons played on page two (I count the 81 games played season).

Looking back at this draft who should the oilers have taken first overall? It was a truly weak year overall. Vasilevskiy? Murray? Dumba?

[Rustyrug]

I believe Morgan Reilly was drafted 5th overall that year

I am only on 3 pages of Yak, and this is just the 3rd post on that 3rd page. You need to adjust your viewing settings.

I believe there was only one other option the Oilers realistically were going to take first overall and it was Ryan Murray. Galchenyuk went third overall, but I didn't hear much chatter suggesting that Edmonton was seriously considering him first overall. Yep, weak draft at the top. Vasilevskiy has panned out very well and Dumba is looking pretty darn sweet right now. Sigh.

My buddy had Sarnia sting season tickets when he played there and gave me the heads up on yak. His comment that stuck the most was; Invisible every game. Scores a goal. Invisible again.
Along with a bunch of other negatives (poor hockey sense, doesn't back check, doesn't defend well). I wish him luck but what a wasted pick that was...

Oh man, I love these types of stories and wish I heard more "truth" earlier on about players. Thanks for sharing guys!

That ole prospect draft hindsight eh? It's always 20/20.

Jeez 6 years?? That was quick. Guess my hate has been festering for awhile

Interesting. I'm only ever on this site on my phone and we are getting near the bottom of page 4 with this post.

Yakkety-Yak. (You all know the tune)

Got drafted first but you are trash
You don't get no more NHL cash
Scored once and slid across the floor
You ain't gonna showboat here no more
Yakkety-Yak don't come back

They say you're a cancer in the room
Because of that you've reached your doom
Back in St. Pete you'll have to skate
In the world's best league you did not rate
Yakkety-Yak don't come back

So Yak put on your coat and hat
Please pack your shit and sell your flat
Work visa gone you'll have to go
Back to Russia and all that snow
Yakkety-Yak don't come back

Feel free to add verses of your own!
