I actually think this neatly illustrates CliffFletcher's point. Thanks.

Why would Hall "go into hiding" based on something that doesn't happen to him? If McGrattan and the Oilers' tough guy are simply removed from the equation, I don't think it would change the result. If Hall goes into hiding, as you say, following an incident like you described, then I would think it has everything to do with watching for Bouma, and not some other altercation in which he is not involved.
