Zach "the awesome player" Hyman

[ErnieLeafs]

Hyman isn't holding Matthews back one bit. Guy just goes to work and does his job.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Had a rough game against the Avs though. Not as effective as usual in his area of expertise, and fumbled the puck a lot.

He’s been way better than brown this season that’s for sure.... Very disappointed in brown this year.

You keep saying he's not hurting AM and I respond we'll only know if we Bab's tries someone else.

So I'll ask how are you so sure Hyman is the best winger for Mathews if no one else is tried in his spot?

I posted how I know...

He scored 40 goals as a rookie and won the rookie of the year. That should be the proof you need. I posted this 3 times now. So either post how he is hurting or move on as Hyman is helping him and Nylander a lot.

Mathews was horrible last night as was Nylander the only player on the line that came with his Work boots on was Hyman.

Imo... its pretty hard for Hyman to have a bad game?

His style of game and constant motor mean his bad games are when he turns the puck over and/or fails to work the cycle.

you could post your reasoning 100 times and it will still make no sense since there is no way to know if Hyman is the best option to play with Mathews if another winger has never been tried in his place

sorry i was wrong , Martin played half a game with AM , our franchise C popped in 2 goals so maybe just maybe he doesn't need Hyman to be productive

Nobody... like, NOBODY, has ever said that he needs Hyman to be productive. But we know, as a fact, that he is. And we know that Hyman's style of play and skillset pairs well with Matthews'.

That Matthews Martin Marner line was killer. So it's a good thing Babs put a stop to that nonsense.

yup , Babs isn't going to make that mistake again , he probably went home and got an earful from his baby momma

Not enough of a sample size to draw conclusions, especially given that they did their work against a team that had checked out already.

So you have proven that he could not possibly have done better with another left winger...?

 

[frizzer1]

Fine....let's have a larger sample size.......

 

[nuck]

I dont have much Zack bash in me these days. He is currently on a pace for over 40pts with basically no pp time. I don't think he has enough game to be #2 on the club in ES minutes but he is a lot less of a black hole than last year. This club needs Boz, Koma, Willie and Marner to start scoring more and they might be getting some of Hyman's ice time. Of last year's rookie crop only Hyman and Matthews have made a step forward. Now can he sustain a 10% shooting average?

When you look at some of the great lines in hockey, the ones that were three complete offensive players usually had less playoff success.
Someone like Esa Tikkanen complements Gretzky and Kurri. As much fun as it might be to have a Lamborghini, Ferrari, and a McLaren
in the driveway... you're life would probably be better if you traded one of them in for an F-150 or minivan. Not only do players like
Hyman and Komarov make a line more well-rounded, they're more affordable. Two offensive players have often been enough to
generate tons of offense with a 'lunch-pail' player with them.

The French Connection. Gilbert Perreault, Rick Martin, and Rene Robert.
The Trio Grande. Clark Gillies, Bryan Trottier, and Mike Bossy.
The Tripple Crown Line. Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor, and Charlie Simmer.
The Stastnys. Peter, Anton, and Marian.
The West Coast Express. Markus Naslund, Todd Bertuzzi, and Brendan Morrison.
The Pizza Line. Dany Heatley, Daniel Alfredsson, and Jason Spezza.

Still scored goals, its worth another look. Personally I want to see Matthews, Marleau and Nylander.

To be fair, he fumbles the puck an awful lot.

Gimme a break man. Brown has been a good soldier getting bounced all over the lineup and is still more less on the same pace as last year. Imagine he had the luxury to be attached at the hip to Matthews like Hyman is.

I have posted proof that he had not hurt Mathews by playing with him. You have proven nothing. Come back and join the conversation when you have something to add to the debate.
