Hall on being kneed in head by Burrows: 'He kind of lost his mind'
Taylor Hall was the recipient of some on-ice violence at the hands of Alex Burrows on Tuesday, and while he didn't appear to be injured after taking several punches and knees to the head, he questioned the Ottawa Senators winger's mental stability after the game.

"He punched me in the back of the head like 10 times," Hall told Devils beat reporter Amanda Stein. "He kind of lost his mind."
Hall added he didn’t know it was Burrows’ knee that made contact with his head; he was informed later by his teammates.
Devils head coach John Hynes appeared disturbed, though not surprised by Burrows' behavior:
