Newest Sabre Taylor Hall to Buffalo: 'I was going to smash into a fold-up table for my intro'

"Buffalo, Taylor Hall here! It’s been a crazy past couple of days for me, but I can’t tell you how excited I am to be a Buffalo Sabres. I hope I get to play in front of you great fans soon. I was going to smash into a fold-up table for my intro, but it’s probably safest if I don’t. Hopefully we get playing hockey again sometime soon, but until then, Go Bills."

Hall signed a one-year, $8 million contract to join the Sabres on Sunday. The former Hart Trophy winner was considered among the most coveted free agents on the market. 

"People seemed surprised when it came out Sunday that I had signed with the Sabres," Hall said. "They shouldn't be."
