I see way more effort and hustle out of him than Hall right now. It’s not even just the lack of goals. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slasher72 410 Posted November 14 Trade Hall to the Canadiens for Domi and a 1st rounder or solid D prospect, whichever is achievable. There's no way they'd give up Drouin so I'm not even going to throw his name in the mix. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just unfortunate timing. If the guy's birthday was in July they'd send the tweet out and we wouldn't care, good or bad. But because we just came off a vomit-inducing loss just 10 hours ago, and the guy hasn't yet signed a contract extension, he will get ripped for it. The team can't not wish him a Happy Birthday just because of the timing. They do it for all players, so they have to do it now - and just deal with the backlash/comments.

Crisis 482 Posted November 14 (edited) They had to do it. It's a sponsored ad for Calandra's Bakery. I'm sure they have some deal where they wish so many players happy bday and throw the Calandra's tag on it. With that being said.. lol Edited November 14 by Crisis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jagknife 2,706 Posted November 14 My favorite part of the tweet is all of the white knights rallying behind him, acting as if he didn’t literally hand the puck to Pageau for the trick. He made that goal easier than Daniel Jones handing the ball to the Jets defender on Sunday for the touchdown. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neb00rs 2,884 Posted November 14 In 2017-18 Hall Scored almost all of his even strength goals off the rush - as in, a high-speed zone entry by him or a teammate and then a goal on his first possession in the offensive zone. The Devils simply aren't generating many good chances for those kinds of goals this year. This is why Taylor Hall "doesn't look like" Taylor Hall as some have put it. On the powerplay in '17-'18 Hall scored 13 goals, 7 of them from the left circle and 3 of them from the right circle. The team was cycling the puck well and finding him with much more space than he's had this year. Playing in generally the same area as he did in 2017-18, he's taken 19 shots on the powerplay in 65 minutes played on the man-advantage this year. That's not too bad, but he just isn't putting it in the net - zero goals. He's having trouble finding space to shoot but his shot in 2017-18 was often so good it didn't matter. He also finished his breakaways that year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hall is the Devils’ version of Cespedes...a loser player with good offensive numbers before he got here, one transcendent year here but now we’re back to underachieving disappointment and moodiness after. At least we didn’t give Hall a sh!t ton of money yet though. Edited November 14 by NJDevs4978 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
