I think Hallsy needs to rethink his math.

 

[Seanaconda]

Didn't this quote come out when he was still on the oilers ? Anyways a while ago

 

[MNRube]

Great retort by Hall. Be annoying if old-timers were constantly harking on the old, golden days. And Hall is right, ita harder to score now.

Pretty sure it was a tongue-in-cheek jab that most of his game-winners were kind of inconsequential in terms of the games, i.e. - scoring the 4th goal to put your team up 4-1, and the game ending up 8-3 like he said, with the result never in question.

You should see the retired NBA players, now there's some bitter "back in my day.." comments.

Really makes you appreciate a guy like Gretzky and how over the top humble he is.

You recall seeing it before? What was the Main Board reaction like back then?

I think most people thought it was funny. I can’t recall when it exactly came out so there may have been some bad teammate stuff too

And cuz the oilers where a dynasty that could blow out teams constantly

So right after he was traded. Could probably find main board archives of it if you looked

I think he's just allowing a little wiggle room for a few actually important GWG's lol

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Sounds about right. Hall is an arrogant a$$. No wonder he's not liked by so many.

Come on, this was funny.

How is hall and devils doing this season?

He's actually pretty much universally liked. Never heard anybody having issues with Hall.

 

[StoneHands]

Maybe someone should tell Hall that there are actually more GWGs in today NHL than there were back in the 80's.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Sounds like Anderson was just joking and Hall got salty. No respect for the HOFers who came before you or what?

That's what I got out of it too. Hall just emanates a salty, negative vibe here.

No wonder so many former Oilers and current Oilers have not so rosy things to say about him.

 

[Lyons71]

Halls comment could have also been a joke. Unless we see video it's hard to say whether it was a friendly jab or not. Why so serious?

how did you go about deducing that the text for Glenn Anderson was joking while the text for Taylor Hall was malicious

In the original transcript of the podcast, Anderson's text was in Comic Sans.

How is hall and devils doing this season?

Was on pace for a better season than last year before he got injured.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Typical toxic environment in Edmonton, with greybeards still living on their glory years and wagging a finger at the younger crop.

 

[Spirit of McMullen]

Was on pace for a better season than last year before he got injured.

Not saying much. A lot of assists came from Palmieri's great start. Made a tremendous amount of mistakes, bad passes and looked totally lost in OT, with one blind pass to no one after another.

Nobody really knows what his "lower body injury" is and for the reigning Hart MVP, whether the Devils are having a bad season or not, nobody seems to care, as the team was lost even with him putting up a bunch of points this season.

And despite putting up points and being on pace for a better season than last year, his impact and consistency on the ice this season is almost as bad and as totally disappointing as his very forgettable debut season with the Devils. That came right after he spent the entire summer whining over being traded away from Edmonton.
