I don't know if anyone heard it, but I wasn't enthused with his post-game reply; a media wag asked him directly about that goal against he was responsible for, and I kept hearing a lack of accountability. He kept saying 'I try my best, that's all' and 'not just one guy' ... as a guy who was cheering alot for Yakupov to make it, I am rather quickly losing any faith this kid will realize his play and general awareness on the ice has to be far, far better.
It is time to move on from the Yakupov experiment. Certainly, a sizeable share rests on the stupid choices made by previous coaching staff on how they utilized him, but at what point does the player take it upon himself to stop looking around, and be cognizant of the need to step up?
Those replies were for different questions. He owned up to the bad play he made. What do you expect him to do? Hang his head in shame all week for a mistake in a previous game when there's another game to focus on? Win or lose, Yak has always talked about the team.
Sheesh...some people...
