The Edmonton Oilers are trending upward after two straight games of solid performance and successful results. A major part of that success ties into the elevated play of Taylor Hall. He is playing exactly like a top winger in the NHL should.
Sportsnet Columnist Mark Spector said, “Taylor Hall was Connor McDavid in 2010“. The weight of the entire hockey world including his team was strapped to his shoulders at the raw age of 18 years old. He was expected to be the saviour of a horrendous Oilers organization that was down in the dumpsters like no other.
