And THAT's the s*** attitude i'm talking about. Seems like many hall lovers have that same attitude. Self over team. "oh why should i buy in? What's the point". there's a good reason why todd mclellan reemed hall out on national tv and booted him to the end of the bench... the player just won't listen or buy in (heck hall said as much in an article).... this is NOT the guy you want on your team.
That's the fallicy too. "if he doesn't provide offence..guaranteed loss". load of crock. buy in, be a team player and lead by example instead of going out and doing whatever the heck you want on the ice and cheat and not play defence or be on the left wing board when you should be for an outlet pass from the dmen etc etc etc. it's time to listen to the ex-teammates that called him out (ference, scrivens, klefbom etc). maybe he's matured... heck i think he probably has but i'm not sold it's enough. We'll probably get a better indication if he starts bouncing around from team to team in the next few years.
and winning in jrs is way different than nhl... hall knows little about winning in the chel. you know who else won mvps in the memorial cup?.... Edgars Kulda, Tokarski, Kelly Guard, Danny Groulx, Kyle Wanvig, Chris Madden, Cameron Mann, Cristian Dube etc.
