2018 Hart Trophy Winner - Taylor Hall

[Johnny McBravo]

It's the price you got to pay

Oilers fans should probably just ignore this thread.

Oilers fans:

 

[Foppberg]

East Coast bias alive and well.

 

[Devilsfan118]

Because he’s a great individual player but an atrocious team player.

He’s in the running with Corey Perry for the weakest hart winner of all time IMO.

Zero likes received in 5 years of HFBoards membership.... hmmmmm...

At a certain point... do you take a step back and be like "huh, maybe it's me?"

Not bitter taste on this at All

 

[AveryQuietMan]

He has some of the worst hockey sense of top six forwards in the league, but an extremely high level of athleticism.

He’s been doing the same stuff for nearly ten years now. Screaming down the wing and looking for a cut post blue line to the net. If he doesn’t have that he either makes a terrible drop/float pass or throws it on net.

I won’t deny his natural athleticism or ability to post points, but Taylor hall does not elevate the players around him.

Congrats Hallsy - Always defended you as the best in 2010, all those HallvSeguin debates and all the times Oilers fans tried to run you out of town for being mean to someone in a bar
My first username on this site was Hall04 afterall

 

[Bank Shot]

Why the oilers ever gave him up, will never make sense to me.

I can't believe no other GM in the NHL wouldn't offer more for him.

It was no secret he was being shopped, and no one wanted to give anything up to get Hall.

lmao

I guess Larsson is worth it... oh wait

Where in my post did I say the trade was fair?

lol what?

haters gonna hate

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Naw ignore those Hall is a Cancer posts. There’s nothing of substance in those.

Guy deserves the Hart. Miss him in Edmonton, but still follow the guy.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Congrats to Hall on the Hart. He was my vote.

 

[La Bamba]

Peter Chiarelli f***ed up, man.

Congrats to Taylor Hall. Thanks for entertaining Oiler fans during the dark ages

26 game point streak. No Rantanen riding shotgun. Centered by the youngest player in the league who, despite his talent, is a feather with a heart of gold. Scored the most game winning and game tying goals of everyone on the team.

He dragged NJ into the playoffs way earlier in the rebuild than anyone expected.

East Coast bias alive and well.

that explains why Rinne, Kopitar, Gallant, McPhee, McDavid, the Sedins, W. Karlsson, and Engelland all won awards. or maybe Hall deserved it?

 

[sepHF]

great achievement by a great player. Huge congrats to Hall.

I agree his athleticism is his greatest strength, and his hockey sense is a little lacking sometimes, but I think you're over exaggerating big time.

Hall is a terrific play maker who can single-handedly carry any line you put him on, while making his linemates more productive. In his years as an Oiler his linemates would always post much stronger numbers when they played with Hall vs playing without. You're wrong about him

 

[thadd]

Hall over MacKinnon? Interesting.

Also, LOL at Chiarelli.

No way you can convince me Hall would have ever had this kind of season if he'd stuck with the Oilers. He became a totally different player in NJ.

Good for him.

I didn’t know I was posting to Instagram, if you’re talking validity out of posts on that metric, man, you better find something real that puts value into your life.

The player you just mentioned all play for the East.

 

[jetsforever]

Crazy that Hall of all people won the Hart Trophy
Congrats to him!

I like the way you post

Welp, I thought this was going to MacKinnon.
