I hate the Oilers and Yakupov but this board would be asking for signatures to be made if Baertschi had done that.

The guy is a rookie and probably now an instant fan favorite in Edmonton. It's not like he went up to the Kings bench and taunt them. At least these kids show excitement to their fans, while the Flames quite honestly are a boring team and more than 90% of the time, a pin drop can be heard at the dome.
I wouldn't, and I'd call Sven or whoever on that.

The most telling part is the skate away from his team to showboat solo to the crowd. This guy reaks of me first.

Which is all good, until either he doesn't get his ice time, or Oil starts losing again. Then well see this stereotypical Russian attitude this guy displays come right out.

My guess, this guy is traded within the next few years for much needed help in many of their weak areas. Should trade him to MTL so he can hang with "Look what I have done in 2 years, pay me top dollar" Subban.
