Lollll coool story. Difference is, if Tavares is an Oiler, you're a playoff team, but he isn't and you're not. Not a fan anywhere outside of Edmonton says "i'd rather have Hall" and thats a fact. You'll see with the defining roles on the Olympic team, just how close Tavares is to being the best in the world. He's among the best, Halls not even close, at least at this point.

The USA is not a race.

racism exists here towards the english in Montreal..(example)

100% agreed

let me see one fan thats not an Oilers fan agree with u
- French-Connection

Go... Survey fans throughout the league.

Let's see what Hall does this year if Eberle and RNH are healthy instead of injured.

Andddddddd...

PPG per year:

Hall 1st season: 0.65
Tavares 1st season: 0.65

Hall 2nd season: 0.86
Tavares 2nd season: 0.85

Hall 3rd season: 1.11
Tavares 3rd season: 0.99

Hall 4th season: ??
Tavares 4th season: 0.98

All while having a better plus/minus on a sh1ttier team.

Well said.

Because you're an Islander's fan.

You cannot be racist towards the USA, as you originally stated.

100% agreed
- French-Connection

I prefer using stats rather than raw emotions when judging players.

Who cares!

Because you're an Islander's fan.

The leaf fan said it and the Sabre fan said 100% agree. You're the only one arguing this. Find a non oiler fan that agrees with you.

Tavares is headed towards a 120 point season this year..his dominance in the playoffs are proof of that..Hall is still getting better no doubt..but he is not at the level of Tavares..right now anyways

hockey is based on raw emotions..how old are you??..twenty something?
hockey is a game far more than stats

actually yes you can

Tavares is more established, because he has been in the NHL a year longer. Fans who do not follow both teams, will understandably say Tavares is better. However, for those who actually look at the stats, and follow both players closely... It'll be pretty much split down the middle. People who say that Hall is nowhere near as good as Tavares are absolutely nuts, and they obviously HAVEN'T seen Hall play. Some people will use Eberle and RNH as a reason why Hall had better numbers last year... BS. Eberle and RNH were pretty much non factors last season as both were injured.

Bookmark this and get back to me at the end of next season

120? Cool... Let's wait for him to get more than a PPG first shall we?

Right... Stats have nothing to do with it

Gagner will get 270 points next season yay!

you bypassed his request..how convenient

actually yes you can
- French-Connection

No... No you can't.

You need to look up the word racist.

actually , no he wont..but to say a guy like Hall is already in a class like Tavares is plain stupid to say

he's a little young punk who just likes to argue..he doesnt get what you're saying even
- French-Connection

Name calling? That's mature... So I'm a "little young punk" because I said that Hall had a better season than Tavares?

Cool.

actually , no he wont..but to say a guy like Hall is already in a class like Tavares is plain stupid to say
- French-Connection

Right... Tavares is in another class

PPG per year:

Hall 1st season: 0.65

Hall 3rd season: 1.11

to be fair he did that against fleury and the pens defense, who hasnt shown that they can stop a beachball

tavaras is very good but you cant base it on one playoff series where the pens make bryzgoalov look good (last years playoffs)

No... No you can't.

You need to look up the word racist.
- laughs2907

I live in Montreal, I am around it all the time..the adjective meaning of racist is towards policies and attitudes..do your homework kid
again, are you in your 20's?? I suspect you are

actually , no he wont..but to say a guy like Hall is already in a class like Tavares is plain stupid to say
- French-Connection

It's fair to say that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

he was dominant, aggressive, fast, clutch..by far better than Crosby in that series IMO
