Somewhere Ralph is smiling.
Oh, big deal. Come on, man!
He should've been traded for a goalie and defenseman in the off season.
My entire point on Yak: WE DON'T NEED HIM. Holy hell, we are full of scoring wingers. We need more NHL calibre centres, defenseman, goalies. The LAST thing we needed was to keep Yak. Just terrible asset management. He adds NOTHING to this team. NOTHING.
Need Gagner back soon.
And even more than that, need to fix the god damn penalty kill. Why change what worked so well last year?
I'm baffled as to why the speial teams have been overhauled so much.
Better 5 on 5 play, yet powerplay and penalty kill constantly let us down. Even with our crappy own zone coverage, if our PP and PK were clicking like last year, we'd be 0.500ish.
Why the hell would you want Yakupov? Why, why, why, why?
Are people blind?
the cases when a goaltender has a great/very good game while still losing and letting in three goals are pretty rare, and usually involve some heroics. what did Dub do today to earn this kind of praise? only didn't make a handful of embarrassing gaffes? low standards, if i ever saw any.
He led the team in goals last year and led all rookies in scoring? You seriously think he was going to be dealt? Get real.
Blaming this all on Yakupov is just stupid. He's not playing well, but RNH is playing even worse and Yak is not the reason why three Islander players got point blank shots open in the slot that killed us.
As horrible as this is, gotta give Dubnyk props for having an alright bounceback game after that horrid start. Hopefully he can keep it up.
It's so annoying though that when our offense plays good, our defence/goaltending is ****.
When our goaltending is alright, our offense can't get it done.
Yak is painful to watch. Absolutely ****in clueless. What do they do with him?

This. Yakupov just sits there and expects the other players on his line to get the puck. It's frustrating to say the least
Who said I was blaming this ALL on Yakupov? I never ONCE said that! The point is, we do NOT need him. We are chock full of scoring wingers. Yakupov should've been dealt in the off-season for the needs of the team. End of story. Now this team will suffer.
A lot of guys were on their own page tonight. We can't do that and expect to win." - Taylor Hall continued. I bet one of those guys is Yakupov.
