Zach Hyman 1st 50 goal season

[Riggins]

Jonathan Cheechoo salutes you

 

[dirtydanglez]

rare player that teams should hold on to. i wouldnt be shocked if all 50 goals were within 10 feet of the crease.

 

[hatterson]

Has to be a top 3 UFA signing of all time..

Chara comes to mind, I can’t think of much else better. Savard was another big one.

They've gotta win something for him to make any sort of top UFA signing of all time list.

He's a good player and obviously a great team guy, but a 50 goal regular season (or maybe 60) doesn't get him near the top of that type of list.

 

[PaulD]

Right on Zach.
Only 8 goals behind AM34 ....Torontos God of Scoring

 

[Fire Sweeney]

This generation's Bernie Nicholls

 

[winnipegger]

It's not just McDavid, he's a really good player. Learned the game the right way and his offensive tools are still getting better. Turns out babcock might know a thing or two eh.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Only 8 behind Matthews for $6.14m less.

Why not talk about all the guys that he’s ahead of?

Congrats to Hyman. Say what you want about McDavid’s impact, but if it was that easy to score next to him then why hasn’t he turned anyone else into a 50 goal scorer?

Hyman’s skill set is suited perfectly to the game he’s being asked to play. He may not be driving offense, but it does not matter at all because he’s getting pucks into the net.

Congrats to Zach. I'm far from an Oilers fan, but glad to see him take his career to the next level. A true hard working guy who gets the most out of his skill-set. He's also a local from my neighborhood to the extent my favorite old school burger spot has his Leafs jersey framed and signed, and when he joined the Oil, I believe he gifted them an Oilers one signed and framed. He even got it mentioned during a Leafs broadcast a couple years ago by Ray and Miller (Gord Miller lives nearby I'm pretty sure since I've seen him in the neighborhood a few times, so he's well aware of it). Regardless of what team Hyman is on, glad to see him doing well.

 

[JukofYork]

He is a decent goal scorer and was pretty good in Toronto not sure why they let him go.. was pretty idiotic. I think we all know he would usually be a mid 30 goal scorer but he won the lottery playing with McDavid

If anything this more or less just proves how good McDavid is to push a 35 goal scorer into probably 55+ goals

 

[Budz]

Congrats ZH. Great player - great guy.

 

[Treb]

Congrats to Kevin Stevens, I mean Zach Hyman.

 

[danny90]

Tbh if he didn’t have such stone hands and bad luck in Toronto he probably would have potted 35-50 each year. Glad he’s finally getting some bounces.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Kreider the oldest I’m guessing?

Second oldest player to have his 1st 50 goal campaign

 

[Hockey Outsider]

Who is the oldest?

Johnny Bucyk. He was 35 (only two months away from turning 36). Bobby Orr assisted on 25 of his 51 goals.

Right on Zach.

Hard to catch the best but being the second best scorer in the NHL even for just one season is pretty impressive.

Better scorer than Pastrnak, McDavid, Draisaitl, MacKinnon, Ovechkin... everyone but the God of Scoring.

Draisaitl's career high in scoring is 55 goals, it would be nice to see Hyman beat that.

 

[Killer Orcas]

Say what you want that it’s only cause of Mcdavid. Scoring 50 is never an easy task.

Flip side means someone whose on his previous team sucks at play making . Congrats Hyman awesome accomplishment !!

 

[SlafySZN]

He’s gonna be really important comes playoffs time, with his goals in tight, near the net.

 

[VainGretzky]

Who is the oldest?

Bucyk

 

[SuperScript29]

The McDavid effect is huge. Taking him our of the lineup pretty much lowers everyone who plays with him by 20-30 points at least..

 

[Zalos]

Edmonton is stacked.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Overrated as f*** lmao. Cheechoo was better

 

[sepHF]

Overrated as f*** lmao. Cheechoo was better

how is he overrated? He just achieved something no one expected him to do.. if anything hes under rated. Your comment makes no sense

 

[Artorius Horus T]

NHL sure is weird, i blame the rubber like bendy sticks.
you have your Hyman's, Reinhart's, Point's, Kreider's scoring 50...

Obviously none of those are (true) goal scorers, but todays NHL is what it is
hey, i'm not against more goals, the opposite but, not for how technology
has made scoring goals super easy.

 

[Ol' Jase]

Thoughts and prayers to you during this extremely difficult time.

How does this make any possible sense?

Man... Amazing how a thread like this can expose so many people who think they are funnier or smarter than they are.

Awesome accomplishment for Zach. The guy's work ethic and compete level is about his greatest quality. Night in and night out you get his best. And while his best ain't always the best in the team, he is someone you can always count on.

Plus he appears to be a hell of a guy...and he's always smiling. All you had to do was see how the rest of the team (even the new guys) reacted to him potting #50. You don't get that unless you are really well liked.

A shame some people seem to want to for some reason denigrate him on this accomplishment.

And look at that... Post #50 as well
