Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Just in case: I don't give a shit about Hall, just curious.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)IIRC his name was coupled with Zach Kassian's in some nasty stuff in juniors.

From: (Anonymous)Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Why it bothers me and I'm digging around: a fandom friend was a victim of a toxic attack where it was claimed she was many terrible things, including an actual pedophile. After a lot of repeating it stuck and now I see posts from new people in the fandom warning about her and saying that they don't know the details, but "everyone's saying she's really terrible, so it must be true, right?"
Not that I don't think it's completely possible for Hall to be an asshole, and not that it probably bothers his life that much what the rumours on the internet about him are, true or not, but it has made me suspicious with the "no smoke without fire" things.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Taylor Hall is a fucking asshole. I lived in OKC when he was here and he was horrible to everyone he encountered, including the women he fucked. He pulled the bathroom garbage at a bar here too. You can believe the bunches of people who all agree with each other that he's a cunt, or you can pretend he's a sweet cute little stats nerd, I don't care. But don't act like the entire internet is conspiring to besmirch his name.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Thank you for providing something more than "everyone says so", though.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)I'm not at my computer at the moment so I can't provide links. If you want to research, go to r/hockey and dig around for the personal experiences with NHLers threads. There are numerous accounts from people who say they personally witnessed behaviour ranging from rude/crude to bordering on criminal. Of course, they're still pseudonymous accounts, so decide for yourself how much weight to place on them.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Yeah, like, I've heard plenty about Hall through the years with pretty minimal digging, and none of them were glowing reviews. I don't feel like going through every gossip forum I've skimmed (I doubt anyone does, hence people mostly just saying "there are a lot of stories." Because there are a lot of stories). Reddit definitely has multiple people telling different stories about Hall with people saying that sounded in character for him, which is sufficient for me because I don't see the point of however many people typing out "He was similarly douchey at a bar I was at!"
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)Also. I know many people are pissed the Oilers have so many number one picks. But I will never apologize for Connor. Because Connor likely means Taylor Hall won't captain my favorite hockey team. And that's worth every bit of the draft lottery hate.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)He's one of the guys that yeah, I'll still read fic about him, but I basically think he's a RL asshole and would not be surprised if he's the next NHL player to get investigated on sexual assault charges.
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)I know he's a really good player. But if we have to trade him for a defenseman I won't cry.
(If we trade Ebs. I will cry. A lot.)
Re: Game Day Thread May 7, 2016
From: (Anonymous)I've been hoping that any trades Edmonton makes in the off season don't involve Eberle just for you, nonny! I got the impression that RNH was more of a front runner on the trade front, but this is mostly because there were rumors my team might be interested in him.
