He over celebrates goals which is annoying but I don't see no attitude problem from him. Never have and I have been following him for a while. I think his personality is that of a Russian which is kind of weird for us North Americans to understand which is why Russians sometimes get painted with a brush they don't deserve to be painted with.
Hopkins deserves just as much heat that Yakupov receives. He gets his points but is downright lost when not playing with the puck. He does not belong in the NHL right now. Needs to learn to play for the team and not to rack up points.
Cassie Campbell called out Hall about a month ago and she was the only one who had the guts to do so. He floats back worse than any Oiler. Doesn't back check, doesn't hit, doesn't do anything other than wait for the puck and cherry pick for points. His on ice attitude seems to be the worse of anyone on that team. Continually has the Glencross whine face going on when things don't go his way.
