What happened to Taylor Hall?

[Avsboy]

29 P in 41 GP. This type of production is expected from an overrated center like Duchene, but Hall?

What happened to him? Genuine question to Oilers fans, how is he playing right now?

Playing injured.

Plus he plays for the Oilers.

 

[Seedling]

Speculation is that he's playing with a few injuries.

 

[TT1]

why would he bother to play injured for the Edmonton Oilers? theres nothing to gain from that.. doesnt make any sense.

 

[DearDiary]

Hard to play your best when the only player on the team that cares about winning is the goalie.

Getslaf runs the goalie
Ref calls a penality
Getslaf looks around expecting a fight
Both Oiler defensemen pretending they didn't see anything
Getslaf laughs all the way to the penalty box

The team won't even stick up for him

Speculation is that he's playing with a few injuries.

or he is very unhappy

Drafted onto my fantasy team.

Seeing as how you're an Avs fan making a sarcastic comment about how Oilers fans have called Duchene an overrated center then questioning Hall tells me that you don't really care and that this is a boast thread.

But to answer your question, he plays on the Oilers. Although a lot better under Nelson, they're still no where near a good team.

Had 10 points in 11 games. Injured his MCL, came back pretty quickly from it and has been a noticeable step slower since returning.

That, and he just hasn't been playing as well as we've come to expect when he posted back to back top 10 finishes in league scoring.

 

[SourGrapes]

Edmonton finally caught up with him. Happens to the best of em.

 

[His Beardliness*]

He's in on the tank.

 

[Avsboy]

Edmonton finally caught up with him. Happens to the best of em.

Let's hope it doesn't catch up with the THE best of them (McDavid)

 

[Seedling]

or he is very unhappy

We know he has a bone bruise on his ankle and there has been a lot of speculation all year that his knee is bothering him.

I'll leave the rumours of his mood to others. I would imagine all the losing and incompetence wears on a guy for sure though. Nelson seem to be building the guys back up.

 

[The Nuge]

He's playing with a hurt knee (and a knee brace)

 

[Party Kane]

The Oilers happened

 

[Shakey Rustie]

Despite being highly paid professionals, hockey players have emotions. I cannot imagine what kind of emotional toll consistently playing in such a toxic atmosphere like Edmonton has on these young players.

 

[Terry Yake]

injury and edmonton happened

 

[chunkylover53]

What's the point of playing injured for Edmonton though? Might as well rest up...

 

[MISC*]

He seems to have just lost his love for playing.

Can't blame him at all.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

The reality of signing that contract extension has hit him real hard. He will be the Jay Bouwmeester of his generation in regards to the playoffs.

this

I don't get it either

 

[Marky9er]

Not facing Thomas McCollum in the playoffs that's for sure.

 

[The Macho King]

He's on the biggest joke of a franchise in the modern era. They're going to ruin every young player that comes through there the way they run it, it just took longer with him than most.

 

[jls24]

I was so excited in my fantasy league when I got Hall and MacKinnon, smh.
