PRAGUE, Czech Republic – Taylor Hall played possessed. Jordan Eberle was a force.
“Personally, that’s probably the biggest game I’ve played in like five years,” said Hall.
Eberle would say six.
Think about that.
The last games for Taylor Hall as big as the get-to-the-gold-medal-game of the IIHF World Championships which Canada won 2-0 over the host Czech Republic here Saturday were the back-to-back Memorial Cup finals he won to win back-to-back Memorial Cup MVP honours.
Eberle, the year before Hall was selected in the draft, was the hero of Canada winning a gold medal at the World Junior.
