Hello Jack Hughes
|
We are running a little short on first overall picks now...
|
We've still got the only ones that worked hard and gave a damn.
|
I know you are running for Pres of team cheerleader but if you honestly think Hall didn't give damn you are resorting to just making stuff up.
We dont know if he listened to coaches, followed the game plan, or any of the other stuff that was used as reasons why he was traded but he was often the only one with effort during those years.
|
Like the half of a year where he needed to step up because McDavid had a broken collarbone, and he was sleepwalking through all the games? The textbook definition of not giving a damn.
|
You mean the year, on a tire fire of a team, where he got 26G - 39A - 65 P?
If he was sleepwalking and put up those stats, surrounded by that group, no wonder he went on to win an MVP award.
|
The Hall/Draisaitl line kept the Oilers in the hunt that year as long as possible. The coach - in his infinite wisdom - pulled the reins on those guys once McDavid came back.

McDavid gets the even up penalty call. We give up another EN. Without doing any research I am recalling no goals for on the extra attacker, one time no one scored and the rest we have let in one or more in?
Correct me if I’m wrong.

And just like that, the Oilers have given up 9 of a possible 10 points to divisional rivals in the worst division in the league. Ugh.

So we lose to a basement dwelling team, giving Dustin Brown a Hattie, and making a third string goalie look like a Vezina candidate. This team is getting old.....same old broken down crap. I don't know why we re even here talking about it...this team just stinks

Yup, that year, the year the raw rookie had 48 points in 45 games, but the loser who led this team to year after year of failure couldn't suck it up. Too busy pouting about not being 'The Man'.

He roomed with McDavid, they remain friends, he specifically said - "It's McDavid's team" - but sure...keep echoing the talking points. He clearly was the issue, and it was almost a steal that we managed to get Larsson for him, right? After all, 20-point right shot d-men don't grow on trees!

Yes, yes of course. Hall couldn’t lead a competitive team to success.
Who is the leader that was responsible for last seasons disaster then? Excluding coaching and management of course. Give us a hint. Throw us all a bone.

This is ridiculous.
As others have chimed in I am not sure how you can blame the best player at the time for the terrible roster, terrible coaching and overall terrible management of this club.
I know we all have our biases but buying in fully to the propaganda that Hall and his attitude were the problem on the team gets tougher to swallow buy the season.
all evidence points to Hall not being the cancer on the team but being poisoned by his surroundings and bad team culture.
Outside of the generational talent that is McDavid almost every single player that leaves the Oilers has an improvement in either recognition of abilities, team achievement or stats. Sometimes all of them.
Conversely almost every player that comes to the team is worse in most if not all of those categories.
I cant wait for you to tell me some more how Hall and his attitude were the problem in a couple years. If McDavid alone cant drag this team to success do you start blaming him?
