The D had been getting gassed all day. All Hall did was shake his head. He didn't mouth off or stomp his feet. But sure, he was probably frustrated. There was no need for Springs to launch himself into that play. He knocked over Hall and cost the team an opportunity at a big turnover. I know it's a bang-bang situation, but if anyone is guilty of a "me" play on that one, it's Springs, not Hall.

I was shaking my head in disbelief over that play by Springs. I couldn't blame Hall for being upset one bit.
