EDMONTON, AB - The legend of Klim Kostin continues to grow in Oil Country with every hug, smile and Calgary Flames fan snubbed by the cheerful and humble Russian forward.
The 23-year-old had his best face on for Oilers Picture Day presented by Scotiabank alongside Vincent Desharnais for the countless Season Seat Holders that marched through the gates of Rogers Place on Thursday night to snap a few shots with their favourite players.
"We had a lot of fun, but yeah, it was really hard," Kostin said after Friday's practice. "My face was sore."
It was all fun and games until a fan wearing a Calgary Flames jersey reached around Kostin's shoulder with his arm, prompting him to roll out of his chair and put up his arms in disapproval and disbelief.
