After 250 games the Oiler fans had already cried about how Hall was snubbed by the Olympics and that the Ovechkin blunder cost him a spot on the All-Star list. They hadn't turned on him at that point, to them it was still a matter of how many Stanley Cups he would bring in for the Oilers.
If it was up to Oiler fans, Hall would have had at least 3 Hart Trophies by the time he hit his 250 game mark.
