[Being able to clean up faster is always good in Hal's book. Finishing up things faster means that Hal can quickly move onto the next bit of stuff to do, and doing stuff is a good distraction from all the things that have been plaguing his mind these days. It's nice to be busy with crime fighting, especially when now its hard to see any drawbacks. When you don't feel pain, there's no reason to hold yourself back after all.
And that applies as well to when Barry shouts the warning to him. Normally people would evade such an attack, but after spending enough time without feeling anything Hal doesn't even bother to dodge it. He simply takes it head on. Hal raises an arm first to take the knife, making sure it doesn't hit any vital areas. The blade sinks in, not too deep to cause lasting damages but enough to have hurt if Hal could feel it in the first place.
The goon is of course, taken aback and confused as to that strange display, and Hal uses that moment of confusion and shock to easily take him out with the standard green fist. And even after that Hal just keeps on fighting, taking out the rest of the goons with little regard for everything else.]
