Taylor Hall Will Wear #4 For The Edmonton Oilers!!!
Yours truly has been bitching and griping about why the Oilers, more importantly Kevin Lowe, haven't given Taylor Hall the elusive #4.
Well, it's happening. Unless someone is messing with my mind.
Expect a press conference tomorrow (?) as the Oilers (Lowe) present Hall with the #4 blue and orange jersey.
ON A SIDE NOTE: Our own Marsha (Scarlett) Boyd called the PC a couple of weeks ago. Atta girl Marsha!
That's right, I know all !!
ReplyDeleteI dunno, in a way I like this and in another I don’t.
ReplyDeleteI understand the synergy of Lowe giving Hall “his” #4.
Lowe being the first ever Oiler pick, scoring the first goal etc there is a lot of Oiler history with that man.
Regardless of what people may think and say of Lowe now there is no denying that he has a very special place in Oiler history
and his jersey should be up in the rafters, without any doubt.
And now we have Hall, our first ever #1 pick, a great talent to be sure but he is unproven in the NHL at this time. So does he deserve
to take a local legends number and all that it means in the history of the oilers? I just don’t know but it does show the class and unselfishness
of Lowe and his love of the team. He is demonstrating a team first attitude as president as he did when he played and I tip my Oilers hat to him.
No one was more excited when we picked Hall, definitely the right pick in my mind I just hope he lives up to the class and love of team and city that the man
before him that wore that #4.
Now drop the puck already!
