So Prv looks like an entirely different player since he got called up.


That was me being sarcastic.

I feel sorry for Omark..... when does he get back from his broken foot?

Maybe if Hall wasn't treated with kid gloves and given the key to the city and worshiped as a god he wouldn't act like such a (frank)ing baby. If the team was being managed properly he would be suspended by the team for a game. Public or private it's inappropriate. Renney is his boss and should be treated as such. Stupid move or not, Hall is paid to play and not have an opinion.

I just realized that Sam Ganger has as many fights this season as Ben Eager does. Someone needs to step up.

That's (frank)ing pathetic and it ruined my morning.

If Lander has a problem with losing his pillow talk with MPS then he should be shipped off as well.

Do you actually have anything interesting to (frank)ing add or are you just going to keep spouting off?

BS. Unless he meant for others to know his opinion, its not. It was HNIC dissecting every little thing and making it everyones business. No different than a tabloid.

Think what you will. I liked it. A lot of people did. Been a while since we've had a player show that kind of emotion and passion. The old guard fans will hate it im sure, but it could have been (frank)ing Petrell saying it and I still would be ok with it because A)he had no business pulling the (frank)ing goalie and B) I dont think the players have to be drones that pretend happiness, butterflies and rainbows no matter what stupid thing the coach decides to do.

Renney is an idiot, but Hall needs to be a professional. His passion is what the team needs, but not like that.

I meant solely at this part in their careers, especially as Lander is still getting settled into the North American game. Of course, they won't spend their entire careers together. I'm just curious how he'd responsd if PRV was suddenly traded. I'm hoping he'd continue to settle in comfortably and keep on track in terms of his development.
- Pohl

Well it shouldn't be a shock that a struggling player on a struggling team gets traded. Lander being the leader he is suppose to be should be able to get over it.

if it wasnt for HNIC it doesnt even get noticed. like I said, it could have been Petrell or or Eager saying it in frustration and I would be ok with it. I dont want drones on the team. I want competitors that will question a stupid (frank)ing decision like that.

If Hall had been asking it directly to a reporter or on twitter or whatever, different story. He said something in a moment of frustration in the late stages of a blowout where he was one of the only guys that showed up to play, 40 stitches and all. Saying he should be suspended a game for it is ridiculous.

It's irrelavant if he wanted others to know, he did it publicly so they do know.

Go call out your boss in front of customers, see what happens.

Some of your co-workers might yuk it up and think you are "cool" but you'll be looking for a new job soon.

I don't disagree with Hall one bit, but it proves that Renney has absolutely no control over his team. Whether is was Petrell, Eager, or Hall it doesn't matter, there is no place for questioning a coach like that. If he wants to do it in private then the entire issue can be handled internally. The moment he does it during a game for the public eye to see it's a problem.

This shows the lack of respect the team has for their coach. Renney has always struck me as someone who was easy to railroad and it seems Hall has figured out that he can do whatever he wants and get away with it. If Renney plans on actually being a leader and taking a team to the next level he can't have a 19 year old spouting off on him when he makes a decision. Renney's dumbassery is irrelevant.

that makes no sence.... are you suggesting Hall will get realeased...... your (frank)ed
Hockey is an emotional sport and different people react different ways, maybe Hall is just tired of losing and wants a change of cities if the oil don't turn this race for last around

Your idea of interesting is whether or not Lander is going to cry into his cornflakes if his countryman is traded? You sir are an idiot.

Hall is obviously not being released, but he can't react without a threat of anything negative happening to him. It's good that he is emotional but he needs to learn how to channel his passion in the correct manner.

No, I'm suggest calling out your boss in public is unaccpetable behaviour. Hall is far to important to do anything like that, but it doesn't change the fact that he made a mistake.

Its relevant as hell. It was him in a brief moment of frustration and I guarantee you he didn't think people saw. Im sure he didnt know PJ "almost" Stock and Kelly Hrudey would be dissecting it afterwards.

That Alex oil guy is a (frank)ing idiot.

Guarenteed he is either 10 years old, or its actually Taylor Hall because he is pretty dumb.

Nobody understands....

Hall - " Hey tambo, im sick and tired of looking at the score sheet and seeing a L, we need help on the backend"

Tambo - " we are full of injuries and bad bounces, ive tried to move for a dman but the price is too high..."

Hall - " you don't see my point.... I'm willing to be a player that brings in a stud dman or two. Member turris? I can do the same!"

Hall is the face of the franchise, like it or not Hall gets what he wants... He is also tired of Stupid decisions by the team, i doubt he would stay here much longer unless they turn the top 5 pick into a playoff spot!

He always does. He channels it every game, when he busts his ass every single game even while looking like frankensteins monster to try and help his sad sack team win a game while he witnesses his coach make idiotic decisions. I dont blame him one bit for being frustrated. and now he's apparently not allowed to show it. (frank) that. you can question the public nature of it if you like, but I'll take that sort of fire any day of the week over Shawn "Oh ho-hum just another day at the office" Horcoff.

its a sad reality that if they're still this bad when his deal is up, I highly doubt he'll stay.
