Hall falls down and stuff.

Bust.

[Hynh]

Injury prone bust.

I like how the AHL hands out the hardware at the next home game. With all the awards the boys down there should be winning they might be able to crack the OKC market. Everyone likes a winner after all.

Good for Hall, nice bouce back from the injury- did we expect him to be an assist man? I hope he starts cashing in on the goals. In my eyes, Hall is one of our snipers.

Obviously an award based on points not play, otherwise Eberle would have won... But grats to hall anyways.

Not sure if Hall is rusty, playing smart or just taking it more easy in the AHL, but he doesnt seem to be playing as reckless as he used too.

Coming off a major injury most players are tentative.

In the case of Hall this brings his recklessness down to a normal (and I'd argue better) level.

+1

Even the AHL announcers mentioned Hall seemed "quiet" with all those assists and Ebs a more-or-less unstoppable scoring machine.

Hall said one of the things he wanted to work on in the A was his situational awareness so he isn't putting himself in a position to get hurt as much. So far it doesn't seem to be affecting his production or ability to create space for his linemates, so I am fully on board.

Hall is just a fantastic player. I was 100% behind the pick at the time and remain so now.

I wonder who's looking good for the AHL player of the month?

[gooilgo]

...all those assists due to Eberle's unsustainable shooting %.
Award does not mean ****.





......and yeah, Hallsy is our next captain.

I love how the weekly routine is "Hmm, I wonder which Barons player will be best in the league this week"
