The downfall of Taylor Hall

[Goose]

Still a solid career. There's a chance he ends up Top 200 in points in NHL history (would need another 100 points or so.)

Him, Matt Duchene, Tyler Seguin probably won't finish that far apart in career points when it's all over.

MVP is technically supposed to go to the player most valuable to their team, yes, but I’m not sure that’s how it’s actually decided each year.

In the same way the “best defenseman” doesn’t always win the Norris.

They should come out with an award for a complete defenseman, not just the one who scores the most points.

First hattrick in over a decade for Hall.

Not dead yet but deadish would be how one would describe Taylor Hall right now

Dit Clapper, a hell of a name there

I think there's medication for that now.

Is there a reason they don't play him with bedard? I don't really understand Chicago's mindset it's like they have fourish top six players and instead of playing them with each other they have them spread out floundering offensively independent of one another

Chemistry is a thing. Sometimes guys just don’t click with other guys for what ever reason.

How many minutes did they actually give them together? Having them apart clearly working for them bedard way below expectations.

I’m not sure but coaches know better than me. I’m sure they have tried them together.

After the Hat Trick. Hall went onto the ice and picked out one Hat to keep for himself. Wonder what hat it was, probably an Oilers cap. His heart is still in Edmonton.

Because Hall needs the puck to be effective and Bedard should have the puck on his stick.

 

[clydesdale line]

Heh.. and Duchene played in this game too.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think he still signs a PTO with one of the best teams and wins a cup.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Like that was a fugly hatty.

how you describe him

The Guy still got game . There's still a spot for him in the watered down league.
Nice Hatty !

I hope my downfall includes tens of millions of dollars in salary.

His injuries ruined a hall of fame career.

He wasnt ever a "smart/High IQ" player however he was fast, strong and had great physical traits.

He was looking to be a superstar but kept getting hurt.

Him and Seguin were both better talents than their career totals would habe you believe

I've had that said in comments way more times than I'd care to admit.

Perry will probably end up getting in on the back of Hockey Canada accomplishments and the cup in addition to his Hart season.

In general, HHOF is a mess on what the criteria is. So, the bar constantly gets lowered.

Hall of fame inductions are similar to suspensions and officiating, in that they are all wildly inconsistent.

I don't understand people who say he did not deserve the MVP

Of course he deserved it. He can still play in this league. At least one Hawks fan said early in this thread that he’s playing well, that it just takes time to come back from a knee injury. Surrounded by takes of posters that probably haven’t watched the guy play in years dog pilling on him spewing nonsense.

For sure , but his play before and after the MVP has nothing to do with it , I was just reading the thread a few pages back , I was suprised even on HFboard theres alot of people who don't understand the award
