Hall blows off Anderson

[Captain Fantastic]

Ryan Whitney is an Edmonton hating doucebag as is Bruce Arthur. Consider the source gentlemen before carving.
This happened 7 years ago or more and again, we do not know the context or even the exact words.

Yeah, I like the podcast but Whitney is starting to remind of an old lady that sits next to her window at home all day, , looking out into the street, being nosy and looking for something to gossip about to her bridge club. Lol

 

[BudBundy]

1). Really old news
2). Anderson has always had what can charitably be called a “polarizing” personality, which is quite separate from how exceptionally good a hockey player he was.
3). If I remember the context correctly, Anderson was sloshed and was kind of being a db.
4). Ryan Whitney just rubs me the wrong way. He’s got a larger mouth than he should have and uses it twice as often as classier people do.
5) Is this still some kind of tired smear campaign against Hall? So he was brash to an inebriated HOF member who probably shouldve gone home by then, but decided to stay and chirp a kid? We badly lost a trade you guys. Degrading Hall to soothe your ruffled sensibilities is asinine.

This is really old news. We’ve already had our Anderson/Hall debate on the topic. What should be being discussed is why Arthur is bringing this up now, two years later. Is he going after cheap click bate or is he such a dinosaur that he’s just discovering Spittin’ Chicklets now? Anderson and Hall aside, the real *****e bag in this story appears to be Bruce Arthur.

Agree 100% He is another Toronto Sports Network Douchebag.

I am by no means a supporter of the old boys club but in their defence, Taylor Hall was an absolute douchebag from the stories I have heard of him which I won't share. That is part of the reason why he was dealt out of town.

Unfortunately, the oilers should have still tried to get more from him than just Larsson.

I've heard Hall is a giant d-bag and Anderson an equal d-bag

2 big egos colliding is never a good thing

 

[TB12]

Why is this news again? I feel we went through this entire convo when the podcast come out like 2 years ago.

Those that don’t like Hall used it to say he’s a problem.
Those that like Hall said Anderson was being a dick.

This has been done to death.

And f*** Bruce Arthur. Guy sucks.

 

[Heavy Dee]

It's an old story but remains true Anderson is a cling on. Move on dude

 

[Sugi21]

that’s just bad on old Andy that’s like going back to the school you graduated from 30 years ago and hanging with the new crop of graduates lol that’s what’s wrong with the Oilers right now is that they’re making the new generation of players live under the shadow of the old glory days and it’s not working! You think McDavid likes being compared or judged on what Gretz did wth the team? I’m sure at first it’s flattering but after 4 years it gets old and stale and I’m sure he just wants to leave his own legacy and not live up to the legacy of the 80’s team!

A cling on in what way? He's married, lives in New York, where he is an investor, runs fantasy camps, and is a frequent analyst of Ranger games.

 

[rboomercat90]

I'm thinking it's more because spitten chicklets brought this up. I think it needs to be brought up too.

Why are ex-oilers even say **** like this to guys? It's bad enough we have ex-oilers making decisions or involved in decisions. Now we hear that they are walking around like they are still relevant busting players balls for no reason?

I’d agree with you if this just happened but it was two years ago. It wasn’t hidden from the public, everyone knew about it then. He’s not breaking any news here. What’s the point in tweeting about it now?

We need more Oilers related pain, apparently, the board has been like that all week. Its like everybodies throwing salt.

 

[Ninety7]

Who gives a shit about what Taylor Hall does?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Man you know if Anderson joked with McDavid, McDavid would have just laughed it off, not disrespect a legend lol.

Then again, I don't think McDavid goes out bar hopping much.

With sucky lips like Mick Jagger(Hall) and vacant eyes, or a lack of body by Eberle TM maybe you have to try harder and get out there in the action.

McD and Drai be more like "let them come to me" and they do..

In other breaking news that is f***ing old as f***: Pronger's wife didn't like Edmonton.

 

[Bank Shot]

Right? Hall had a pretty terrible rep off the ice but there’s no shortage of people defending him even when he’s being a *****e.

It doesn't sound as bad as Glenn Anderson's off-ice rep though.

He had some crazy stuff going on. Wouldn't pay child support. Had a guy mysteriously drown in his swimming pool.

Where’d you hear this?

 

[Aceboogie]

I love Hall, guy seems so awesome. He gives really refreshing and honest interviews

I am glad he escaped Edmonton

 

[nturn06]

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

I find it odd thought that our fans gave these sentiments and that the leafs fans keep bringing up how many cups they won....

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Where’d you hear this?

I..thought it was known...?

 

[harpoon]

Who gives a **** about what Taylor Hall does?

Apparently so many people care that we have a years late, boring as f*** thread to talk about it.

 

[Hynh]

I wish McDavid would do something similar but with Katz

 

[nturn06]

That response was savage

I don't really get it... Hall is implying that, on a team with Gretzky, Mess, Coffey and Kurri was somehow easier to score the GWG...To me that sounds moronic not savage...

I agree that Glenn came out as an asshole, but Hall's answer seems idiotic to me...

Ran over Ryan Smyth when he was a Banff kid.

Anderson was a disaster off the ice. Things don't go better with Coke..

 

[McDNicks17]

Anderson is like that 30 year old that shows up at high school parties.
