4/29 - Dance Hall Days
- Thread starter RSN Diaspora
- Start date
I don't think it's a stretch to say that Krejci would be Hall's 2nd best teammate of all time, excluding other Bruins like Pastrnak, Bergeron, McAvoy and Marchand.
Hall was still in Edmonton for McDavid's rookie season, and then he had the cameo in Buffalo with Eichel this year. Other than that, I think you could make an argument for Krejci. Hall's been surrounded by garbage the entirety of his career. In Edmonton it was probably RNH. In NJD, Nico Hischier I guess? The corpse of PK Subban? Phil Kessel and Clayton Keller in ARI? It is remarkable how these teams failed to put a competitive roster around him.
What I didn't notice until the second watching of that clip, was the "wow, did he just do that?" look from Hall in the last maybe 5 seconds before the video ended (seems to be right at the 1:00 mark).
The ice level angle on the team Twitter of that play is awesome.

Wow. That's really cool. Its the best indication of just how fast everyone is moving when Krejci stops time.
I just rewatched the Krejci goal a couple times on super slowmo on youtube and it is amazing how he is almost leaned into a shot by the drag around the defender -- and he has a good look -- but he just holds the puck deep under him for just a split second and then it sells the goalie to his left, and then it is all wide open for the pass to Hall. Such a slick move.
