Hall blows off Anderson

[Panda Bear]

How often do our former players try to hang out with or spend time around our current players? Do they just parade around the locker room going "lol u r not as good as us lol"?

What a legend.

Eat shit, Anderson.

 

[PinSeeker]

Good! Feel the exact same way. Enough about how good we were 30 years ago...

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

That response was savage

 

[Cypress]

Heh. I wonder the same thing, is having Gretzky and co around good? I imagine him just walking around all arrogant like everyone else exists in his shadow, basking in the light while blocking out the sun. No offence to him, but isn't it time for the Oilers to stop living in the past?

This happened in a bar where Anderson was and Hall happened to show up. ....geez imagine that Hall and Anderson happening to be in the same bar.

Glen Anderson was one of the most underrated players of his time and still is. I'll be happy about current oilers and ex oilers doing this the day we have a team that is not sheer and utter garbage and actually wins something, anything.

That title could be taken to mean a few different things.

Is Gretzky actually arrogant? I don't know about Anderson, but Gretzky doesn't strike me as someone that considers himself a god among mortals.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I should add Glen was the man. Better scoring the 4th goal as the GWG in an 8-3 win than barely win any games at all. (Current oilers)

 

[Bryanbryoil]

They probably had 1/2 the regulation/ot wins in that season than Hall did in his entire time here.

What a cool guy, blowing off a Hall of Famer while he's done shit all except a Hart that McDavid should have won.

Glenn should have shot back "congrats on your zero Stanley Cups there, bud"

 

[Joey Moss]

Hall said Lowe told Anderson to stop hanging out with the young guys around that time.

And for people who don’t know this interview was 2 and a half year ago and this was Hall’s rookie season.

I truly have no idea. I do wonder how his presence is received by the players though. It's possible for them to feel in his shadow even if he's not arrogant.

Sure doesn’t say much for Anderson. That said, Hall made these comments two years ago, why is Arthur bringing it up now?

My favourite memory of Glen Anderson was when Linden Knee'd the shit out of him, then he ran around the ice trying to get away from Odjick who just made 6'6 Creighton turtle. That was hockey.

 

[GodPucker]

This is so old news lol

wasn't Anderson told by Lowe to stop interacting with the young kids lol

I bet Anderson was just kidding around in jest. I could see Hall making a quick snarky response like that though.

It's the media trying to pile onto the OBC (which they deserve)

 

[GodPucker]

NONE of them should have any input into deals, etc, but only in EDM is having guys like Anderson, Messier, Gretky a bad thing and mocked when it comes to interaction with players.

If I was a player, I would love to talk to these guys, get some tips, etc. What Hall did was pretty disrespectful.

Chicago seems to do it right with their "Ambassadors"

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

this is last year's news lol

that Hallsy "Spittin' chickets" interview was good and revealing

It's a bad thing because they keep getting put into important positions in the organization when they have no idea what they're doing.

Of all the players currently in the rafters, how many are not currently employed by the Oilers? Is it just Fuhr?

Out of all those exOilers, Anderson always had the worst reputation out in public so chances are he was every bit the douche bag Hall paints him out to be.
