This wasn't about him being bad in his own zone, this was just about him giving up. Not sure whether he was tired(had he been out in that shift very long?) or what, but his body language in the entire play was alarming. Then when Forsberg scores, Hall doesn't even react. Scary how that whole goal came about and I'm not even an Oilers fan.

He had been out for 90 seconds but still no excuse. Usually when guys get beat by a spin-o-rama the spinner has speed. I don't know if I've ever seen a guy beaten this way when the spin comes almost from a dead stop.
Hall was being Hall - fishing for a turn over instead of playing solid fundamental defense. There are a myriad of ways he could have played that differently - all of which would have resulted in Forsberg not beating him.
Just an awful play that should be used to mock Taylor relentlessly.
