Don't you know by now in hockey you can't call everything?He got hauled down multiple times. Second, third and OT. Like he does every game. And it's never called.

Yeah, that wasn't good on Hall, bonehead play by the kid not just finishing it but he's respecting hall so much he tries to pass it back. Its what you get playing on a young squad. Hall has to be better on the bench there. Somebody else was consoling Hersheyer right? (I'm not even going to try to spell the name. )
Don't let them off the hook, it's not Hall's fault they lost all skill and drive for a while. Especially not from "gestures".It's that kind of attitude that hurt the team here. Guys like Yak, maybe even Nuge etc lose confidence in themselves when you got a guy like Hall on your team criticizing and making frustrated gestures etc at you trying to play the game as you see fit. They start to second guess their on instincts and become paralyzed and their game deteriorates. Those kinds of guys are the WORST to have on your team.

you're right it's not all on Hall but it doesn't help when you have guys doing that. it makes you second guess yourself and grip your stick tight. you begin to fear that trying to make plays in fear you make a bad one. it really messes with your mind and confidence. and sure those affected may not be the strongest mentally but still. that's being a bad teammate when you do that kind of cr@p Hall does.
That depends, it is not all one-sided though. He reacts like that because he wants to score/win, which is not a bad thing. Of course that kind of on-ice behaviour is not very helpful, especially with rookies, but it all comes down how it is handled later on by himself and/or others. And seeing as NJD seem to be happy with him and he got an A I would assume he can address it with Hischier after the game.It's that kind of attitude that hurt the team here.

McDavid's penalties drawn are down by about 0.2 penalties per game this year. Too early to tell if that has any meaning, but given the increase in penalties league wide its a bit ridiculous that his numbers have decreased. Refs rarely seem to call any stick work against him this year so far.He got hauled down multiple times. Second, third and OT. Like he does every game. And it's never called.
Oh wow. Loved the ot goal. McJesus is unfair at 3v3.
Also RNH is looking very good to me. Some swagger on ot.
Had to miss the game (just got the score/stats now).
at this point the team should call both Rattie and Pulj up.
Maroon-Mcdavid-Drai
Lucic-Nuge-Rattie/Pulj
Kassian-Strome-Rattie/Pulj
Malone-Letestu-Pak/Jokinen
looks way more appealing than what they could potentially be icing against the Rangers. Maybe these young guys can follow Malone and look actually hungry out there.
It just feels like crap when you get that reaction, as a young player, from the top player of your team. We've seen that one before. It is fair commentary that its an ugly bit of halls game to be showing that kind of disgust.
