Taylor Hall Exposes The Sad Truth Despite Scoring Hat Trick in Chicago Blackhawks 6-2 Win Over Dallas Stars
Former 2018 Hart Trophy winner and Chicago Blackhawks Forward, Taylor Hall showed up to the Dallas Stars game with a purpose. After being scratched, he returned to form last night against one of the best teams in the NHL.
His hat trick helped put the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of the Stars last night, and the rest of the team followed his lead, ending the game with a 6-2 win.
After the game, Taylor Hall recounted the story of his healthy scratch and how it was a poorly communicated move between himself and Luke Richardson.
Last night after the Hawks win, and his hat-trick he looked sad, as he had no one in the audience to witness the brilliance of his skills in action.
The heartbreaking statement is sad, as while his play has improved, the target off on his back by the front office may not be removed. All this does is pump up his trade value a smidgen, which makes his play last night poignant.
While he may end up being another trade asset for Kyle Davidson, he's previously stated he wanted to stay in Chicago.
,q>. «I'd love to stay and be part of this,» Hall noted a few weeks ago. «I've moved around quite a bit, maybe more than I would've liked, but it's led me to some amazing experiences. I really like this team, the organization, and the group of guys we have. I think I can be a good piece for us as we keep growing.» Of course, this was all before he was scratched and not told why.
Who knows how this will play out in the long run, but could Hall stand to return to the Edmonton Oilers or another contender?
Hall has made his home in Chicago and was brought into mentor Connor Bedard but has been nursing injuries instead.
The rebound performance shows he still has what it takes to be a great forward in the NHL.
In 21 games played with the Blackhawks this season he's scored 9 points( 5 G, 4 A) with a -3.
