Anal? Might want to take a look in the mirror for that one. I'm not the one getting my panties in a twist because someone had the gall to rate my teams prospect lower then someone else's.
Also, you should pay more attention to the conversation, the reason "matching against other teams top players" is more then relevant, and worded specifically the way it was was because we were discussing defensive games. Obviously seeing far more time then a kid like Seguin did and playing on a higher line due to a lack of depth in front of him, Hall would see more top pairings then Seguin (though it's laughable to assume every team was worried about matching top pairings against him), but that's got little to do with his defensive game now does it. He also saw far more action against second string goalies then a kid like Seguin or even Skinner did as well, but again, that is neither here nor there.
As for how many games I watched, enough to form an opinion. Specifically, probably 10-15 full games and many more partial (NHLCI is a helluva drug). See, I like the Oilers. I like the kids coming in, I like their speed, and I like the fact that their lack of adherence to any real system combined with the low expectations really allow for some creative hockey to be played. It's refreshing.
Silly question... but how many did you watch? Not many if you don't realize Hemsky went down just 1 game before Hall did at the end of the season, or were you being extremely literal when you said "watched a single game" (cause there was only a single game I could of watched in which Hall played after Hemsky went down, get it, funny, I know).... and you're an Oiler fan?
You know what, nevermind, keep calling everyone an idiot, or a horrible journalist, or a braindead scout who suggests that the gap between Tyler and Taylor isn't all that far apart. Tyler ain't even mad...
