Hall on 1st season with Devils: Everything but on-ice play was awesome
Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Only one thing would have made Taylor Hall's first season in New Jersey better: If his team was actually good.
Hall spoke to reporters on Tuesday and was blunt when asked about his first year as a member of the Devils.
Of course, it's an accurate assessment. The club finished tied for the third-worst record in the NHL, ranking 28th in goals for and 25th in goals-against per game, certainly not a recipe for success.
As for Hall, his numbers were down slightly from the previous season, though he still finished tied for the team lead with 53 points in 72 games.
