Rob_Ottawa Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Ya I've heard that BS before about how a player prefers a certain location blah blah blah… then another team shows up with a truckload of cash and all of that talk disappears as they sign in a different location. Duchesne and Karlsson are the 2 most recent examples of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea well I am looking for the source, but I remember reading that he and his wife visit Carolina and liked it there and that's why they chose it. They wanted to set up a place to stay stay for an extended time and not move for family reasons, which is why he was salty about the trade. I'll try to find it.

Rob_Ottawa Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Yes I remember that report, you don't need to post a link. Let's just say I don't believe it though. In fact, I don't believe pretty much anything a free agent says related to salary and location until they sign.

Satans Hockey Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Ship the baby out. He's not signing here anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 What's that saying - if you go around in life thinking everyone you interact with is an a$$hole.. you're probably the a$$hole? Well, maybe the same can be said about losing. This is a loser's comment. Compare this to PK's remarks. I'll be surprised if Taylor is a Devil in 2020. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I believe that more and more as the days go by. If he was, he'd be locked up by now.

Devilsfan118 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You'll find many posts from me in this very thread hoping for an extension - but I'm starting to really doubt that this guy is a wagon the Devils should hitch themselves to for the next 8 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want him to be, so fvcking badly, cause we loved him here, from the second he arrived. I know he's protecting his teammates, but if he doesn't really see why they were booing off the camera, then he doesn't get it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I want him gone, hope someone throws his jersey on the ice. This whole organization needs to have a rude awakening from this fan base. We have been eating sh!t and been coming back for more every year. I'm absolutely livid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Taylor, you're getting booed because, unlike Edmonton, we expect more. You're also getting booed because we've seen this movie before, and we know how it ends. Start well, score first, re-gain a lead, give it up late, implode. Rinse and repeat. People boo when they are dissatisfied with a particular result. Losing 7-6 in your own building and giving up the goals you did is reason to boo. If you want complacency and people who won't boo when that happens then this isn't the place or team for you. I can be your biggest supporter and I value the raw talent you seem to possess, but with that talent you need to have thick skin and the ability to accept and take accountability for you and your team's performance. This season has not lived up to the expectations of New Jersey Devils hockey, and for that, we as fans of this team, will boo. If you lose, we boo. If you win, we cheer. It's really that simple. At this point I look at Hall and I say very bluntly, you're either part of the solution or you're part of the problem. All of us think/thought you're a better leader than Andy Greene - you probably think that about yourself. If that's true, then act like it. Two years ago you put this team on your shoulders and carried them to a playoff berth, and you did so with a lot less talent around you. Now in the face of adversity, with a lot more talent around you, you can sit and sulk and complain about being booed when you have a 33% PP rate for ONE GAME and act like you're some player scorned, or you can sack the fvck up, put this team on your shoulders again, and earn your way into the playoffs again. If it's the latter, trust me, we'll all be behind you, but if it's the former, then we'll help you pack. The choice is yours pal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzey Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I guess we risk him getting injured if we wait too long to make a decision on trading him.

devils744 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 It's weird to think that years have passed and once hall leaves or is traded the 1 for 1 deal was basically a wash. Nobody really won it per say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils as a team haven't had much success, but I still say the Devils clearly won that trade. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the funny thing is it's not like we're an especially tough fanbase that is constantly and unfairly getting restless and booing. It takes more than just a simple loss to get Devils fans to boo...Taylor ought to give teams like the Canadiens and Flyers a test-drive for comparison. I'd say on the harshness scale, we're in the bottom third or so. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
