Player Discussion Zach Hyman

[HamiltonNHL]

Without Hyman it seems we have no one in front of the net. He has eyes in the back of his head for loose pucks

 

[Anarchism]

haha I was browsing the Toronto forum earlier, fans are ready to riot lol.... meanwhile here in Oiler land, nothing but sunshine lol.

Toronto plays Chicago on Weds and I can only imagine if they lose

And yet every once in a while you have some long time posters here asking (not quite demanding) about Eichel.
I realize its easy to get lost in the forest and go a bit stir crazy and that yes Dubbie shouldn't be susceptible....maybe he can find a way to fix this now that its staring him in the face.

Puljujarvi looked better at that spot in preseason

Edit.. nvm , you talking bout the Leads!

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Every player needs other players to play well, even Hyman. Hopefully his hustle doesn’t wane.

But that’s why they didn’t prioritize him…

 

[McDNicks17]

So why didn’t Toronto prioritize him?

It's tough to afford complementary players when you've got four forwards making $40M combined.

 

[AM]

It's tough to afford complementary players when you've got four forwards making $40M combined.

It’s tough when you have two forwards making 20million.

 

[MessierII]

It’s tough when you have two forwards making 20million.

It’s not though. That’s why we did it.

As a Leaf fan, I am stoked that he is killing it for you guys. But f*** me senseless, I miss that guy in a leaf sweater

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

So delightful joyful. Keep these 2 together.

Leaf fan here. I am so impressed by Hyman! He was never this dominant in Toronto and he was always on the left wing of Matthews. It truly made me wonder - does Matthews s*** so much compared to McDavid? Why did Hyman become almost a star player in Edmonton, but was always considered average, despite very hard working in Toronto? Thanks guys and good luck versus the Rangers!

I think this was needed. Thanks!

Murse. A man purse is called a murse. ;|

Everyone sucks so much compared to McDavid.

Dude is a faster Ryan Smyth. He’s amazing. Just what the forward corps needed

He is a player that Oilers have lacked in such a long time. Seeing how he is here and what was said about him during the summer and lead up to free agent day is mind blowing, no one , not leaf fans knew what they had in him.he is just like Ryan smyth but faster.

You can't teach his passion.

He's the type of caring teammate that would probably be writing children's novels if he wasn't a hockey player.

 

[Mrgnwllm]

The interview with him and bison king last night was perfect . He is the type of personality that will be there for JP.

But but…he’s doing both…

When my son grows up I want him to conduct himself the way Zach Hyman does on and off the ice.

Not sure I can pay a higher compliment to someone. He’s just a great person. So well spoken, highly intelligent, thoughtful, and caring teammate.

He’s the kind of guy you want in your locker room and community.

 

[Ninety7]

What amazes me is his ability to come out with the puck when he looks like he’s about to lose it.

guy knows how to use his body to protect
The puck

[tellermine]

He was quite underrated in Leafs.
People hated his presence in Austons line at start as he did not score enough. After he started to make points it was the playoffs that made him target.

Funny as he is quite a captain materia in many ways. Complete player. In a way Alex Killorn like.

But at least now you have Ritchie digging out pucks for Matthews and Marner.

Admit it, you are just biased because you bought your son Zach's latest kids book and he happens to love it.

Yes. Yes, he does.
