IS his dad or brothers huge? I know nothing at all about his family. Hell I'd still like to know what CFL position Hall's dad played and how big he was.Bryanbryoilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09463233578735448147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-80440358263616798802010-04-07T20:59:01.732-06:002010-04-07T20:59:01.732-06:00I think the injury part is speculation, but Sam is...I think the injury part is speculation, but Sam is plugged in so one could argue he's speculating from knowledge.<br /><br />But that's just a guess.<br /><br />The red flags with Hall might seem small but as they keep piling up, how many does it take to make people think "you know what? I'll just go with the guy that seems to be far less high-maintenance?".<br /><br />I get the sense that might be where some people are at now.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-37463909546316043312010-04-07T18:57:45.256-06:002010-04-07T18:57:45.256-06:00To be honest I don't know how compelling I fin...To be honest I don't know how compelling I find any of these "red flags" about Taylor Hall. <br /><br />Short of the petulance that Schremp, Schroeder, or Kessel supposedly demonstrated in their draft years I don't think Hall having a prima donna attitude is important. Nor do I think a meddling, over-protective Dad is important. This kid's been touted as a possible #1 draft pick for a few years now. Parents are bound to meddle. It's what they do. Unless he's out there threatening to beat people up at games I think this is just looking for problems where there aren't any.<br /><br />The hits are a concern, but how much of a concern is arguable. Players who make moves to bring the puck to the middle of the ice get nailed sometimes. Some more than others. I've seen Hemsky get hit like that a dozen times in his career, and yet the majority of his injuries seem to come from collisions into the boards. It'll be interesting to see if injuries from these types of collisions follow Hall throughout his career. <br /><br />On the topic of Seguin's playoff performance, did Cosentino suggest that he was aware of any injury to Seguin? Or was he merely speculating? From listening to the interview it sounds more like he's merely puzzled as well over Seguin's lack of productivity.<br /><br />Anyway, always glad to see stuff for the upcoming draft from your guys' show and blog. Keep up the good work.jon khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00938664598219121565noreply@blogger.com
