[OOT] December 19, ten games!

To put that +/- into perspective:

The 1974-75 Washington Capitals were one of the worst teams in modern NHL history. They went 8-67-5, scored 181 goals and gave up 446. -57 would be worse than all but three players on that team. And I firmly believe that if Edmonton gives him more ice time, Yak can beat Bill Mikkelson's -82

A team differential of -265. Outscored by more than 3 goals per game. That was some kind of hockey team.

And somehow, Yakupov is managing to get himself into the conversation with respect to personal +/-

Thats amazing. Yakupov has been on the ice for a significant chunk of Edmonton's 126 goals against.

but a -57 in this day and age would probably be the equivalent of -100 back then.
