Nail Yakupov Checks Brett Cook Through the Glass (January 21, 2011)

[ThRiddleD]

Didnt flyers get first round draft pick and third from cbj? Haha

[CycloneGU]

@ThRiddleD - Wait...what? When did this trade occur?

[ThRiddleD]

@CycloneGU I'm a dumbass, this happened last year, lol, god I feel dumb x)

[CycloneGU]

@ThRiddleD - Well, since commentators are all tweeting about Nail in a Columbus uniform, I'd have to say that trade didn't occur. And if it did, a lot of people are forgetting.

[ThRiddleD]

@CycloneGU It didn't, the trade was last year, they got the first/third round picks for last years draft,

[youwillloseeverytime]

He win, Yakupov first Cook second he win. 4000 people cheer yellow and black jerseys, but he win. you can ask like a hundred questions but it doesnt matter he win, so , see ya next time

[aleksandrpondios]

Two russian players will be number 1 and number 2 of 2012 NHL draft?Great!!We had 5 o 6 yeras to produce a great talent.

[TheTraktorBang]

Давай тащи, супертатарин

[hskates121]

That's not good the new York islanders do not support hitting in the game of hockey, thatll be a 10 minute islander conduct next year

[lunchb0x93]

one could say hed got..... nailed

[johnharriso987]

@lunchb0x93 haha when i saw it was yakupov wrecking someone i scrolled down knowing there was going to be this comment

[flyersfan223]

going to the blue jackets if he's gonna be the 1st pick

[Dolmaner]

he'll play good for 2 years, score some goals, get tired and used up and fail for the rest of his career. just like every other russian. they cant handle the nhl.

[Leafsrule016]

@Dolmaner as much as that seems to be the case for some, its also the case for players from all countries ... there were just a lot of highly touted russians that went back to the khl to play at home for more money tax free ... i'd do it too

[BaanuRass]

Unless something crazy happens, he will be a Columbus Bluejacket. The part was that he takes about 2 strides from the top of the far circle and then glides the whole way to hit him.

[MrPlowProductions]

soon to be 1st overall pick

[CycloneGU]

@MrPlowProductions - After getting Player of the Week to go with everything else, it's a lock. As long as he doesn't get hurt badly he's a shoo-in for first pick. Did you know some NHL teams have their own "Fail for Nail" campaigns going on? Ottawa seems to be one of them.

[MrPlowProductions]

@CycloneGU yeah of course i know that teams tank, just hope ottawa doesnt get him, dont wanna see him 6 times a year.

[xIEthaNx]

@CycloneGU columbus is living by that motto this year...

[teh1337hackz0rz]

@CycloneGU My Columbus Blue Jackets are doing this for sure. At the rate we're going...first draft pick is likely.

[brandonadrew]

@MrPlowProductions Tough to say. I get the privilege of watching him every home game of the year, as well as some road games. He has some things to work out, such as his defense. He seemed more impressive last year, but he didn't have all the attention that he gets this year. I still think Galchenyuk will be the better of the two moving forward.

[Andragon90]

@brandonadrew Are you serious? Galchenyuk will be better? Elaborate please.

[CycloneGU]

@Andragon90 - I've also heard this from multiple scouts. It will be interesting to see someday, and the first exploration of that comes next season when Galchenyuk tries again to have a draft year (undoubtably with missing most of the season he'll pull out).

[HardcoreGodz]

@MrPlowProductions lol I don't think so...

[DoubleMePlz]

Big hit for the juniors

[ChainSaWRapt0rJesus]

I want yakupov on the capitals so badly

but if he came to the canucks (i know its impossible) It would be awesome like pavel bure

But i think the caps have a chance they need colorado to tank to at least bottom 5 then trade colorado and their pick and maybe something else to get number 1

[eight634]

@ChainSaWRapt0rJesus yakupov on the caps? are you stupid? they already have enough playoff choking euros on their team they dont need anymore.....

[pistolpete0500]

I bet hes gonna go to Washington. :P

[CycloneGU]

@pistolpete0500 - I already posted at the Dallas Fan forums that if they want Yakupov to go with Ritchie, also of the Sting, they better make sure they are dead last. Or otherwise somehow acquire that first pick by trading seven other picks. He'll be golden in the NHL, that's for sure.

[ProphaneSnipes]

@pistolpete0500 if there last in the league highly unlikely

[Chandy155]

Nail is gunna get drafted if he keeps up what hes doing!

[CycloneGU]

@Chandy155 - What's especially cool is that he has the best attitude you could expect of a player. When asked about his chances to get drafted, he says none of that matters. Awards he wins do not matter. His own scoring stats do not matter (goals, assists). Nothing matters to him more than his team winning as a team, and he making his contribution to that team. Those are the things a #1 draft pick says. I have no doubt he'll be the top pick for June 2012 and I for once will be watching.

[CycloneGU]

@codhockey13 - I would like you to please demonstrate. =P

[artoah]

@CycloneGU he's right, that glass broke at barely no force :z

[CycloneGU]

@artoah - It still broke, it still looks cool when it happens, and that's what I'm trying to show - the cool factor. It's possible to shatter glass by shooting the puck, too; does that mean the glass in those cases is weak, or the speed of the shot basically a bullet?

BTW, I did remove the word "powerful" from my description.

[wildcats6010]

U GOT NAILED!!!

[agonizedfever]

@wildcats6010 haha yep i see that becoming a household slogan in the nhl.
