I was watching the game live and with the tensions from the disallowed goal, the fact that Yakupov already had a goal called back, it was his second NHL goal, and he scored it with 5 seconds left to tie the defending champs by batting it out of mid-air after (from their view) getting screwed out of a goal. I dunno, looking back to being 18, if I was him I might have done something similar. It was definitely overboard but I'd cut the kid some slack. If he does it again outside of playoff overtime goals then there's an issue IMO.
