Injury Report: Hyman out for at least 6 months with a torn ACL

[TheDoldrums]

Hopefully Zach recovers well, the hard work required for rehab shouldn't be an issue for him. Gotta be impressed he was willing to fight through it until elimination, though it makes me wonder if moving someone like Moore to that top line would've given them more jump.

Hes a warrior he will be back at 100%

Also someones gotta make the played better than Brown and Marleau joke lets get it outta the way

I’ll never understand why a player with one good leg are playing over players with two.

Petan could have been more effective than Hyman in 6 and 7

 

[SprDaVE]

Ouch. That's a tough injury.

In that timeline, he's likely to miss training camp at the very least but also the start of the season

I agree to an extent. After game 1, I was suggesting that Rosen should have been playing over Gardiner for similar reasons.

That said, would you say Hyman was our worst forward, even in games 6 or 7? Probably not...

Yea, looks like end of October return.

 

[Warden of the North]

Ouch. That hurts

Yeah it makes no sense. I love Hyman, think he's a warrior and he's totally changed my opinion of him but does Babcock really not trust anyone else at all to kill penalties?

Who knows if the reason the Leafs didn't have any pressure on the PK was because Hyman was playing with one leg. Is he seriously telling us that he couldn't put Tavares out there for 2 mins more per game?

All this just makes Babcock look even worse.

Agreed
And Rosen over an injured Gardiner

Shows the lack of depth.

Mid to end of November if we want him up to game speed before activating him. JMHO.

Hyman was really solid until Games 6 and 7. Regardless, he played 16+ & 18+ respectively. That needs to change.

A testament to why he's as effective as he is ... heart and determination.

There's an opening to start the season, which kid is going to grab it and prove themselves?

 

[WTFMAN99]

1. Warrior. Played through a bad injury for the team, huge respect.

2. Babcock knew Hyman was on a torn ACL. How the hell was Hyman 4th in ice time amongst forwards? We had Marlies players or guys in Moore and Ennis that could have moved up.

 

[ULF_55]

Shows the lack of depth.

I disagree.

I think it shows a lack of head coach who is willing to shift his thinking.

We were warned.

 

[Sweet Leaf]

Tavares looked pretty amazing considering he was playing with one dude on a blown out knee and another dude who had one shot in 3 games and pushed no offence. All against the "perfection" line. Damn....JT!

 

[sxvnert]

He'll be back for game #1.

 

[Loosie]

I get not wanting to let your team down...BUT WHY DID HE CONTINUE TO PLAY WITH A TORN ACL!!!!

 

[Big Cactus]

Good thing Trevor Moore played 7 mins a night

 

[Loosie]

He'll be back for game #1.

Doubtful. 'Minimum of 6 months' takes us to the end of October.

 

[Buds17]

Unfortunate to be down an important player for the start of next season. Hopefully, it's a speedy recovery.

 

[Suntouchable13]

He'll be back for game #1.

Doubtful. Will he really be 100% 1 month ahead of schedule? If he's not 100%, then why play him?

Props to Hyman for playing through that. That is really tough.
On the other hand, why was he still thrown on the top line in Games 6 and 7, when he was clearly injured and not himself? Trevor Moore who was a beast should have played up. Another Babcock gaff.
