he deserves this. So many posters hated on him for the whole season. He had a great season and brought it for the playoffs.

Haha perhaps I would have never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought that I can even say this in my dreams.

"HE WAS BETTER THAN MATTHEWS ALL SERIES LONG."

 

[dosages]

I'd hope this summer he works on his offensive skill set, that's really all he needs.

 

[Duke Silver]

Fantastic effort, heart and bravery shown all series by Hyman.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Respect where it's due.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Hyman = beast

You need 'Hymans' come playoff time. It's a different game. Effort and hard plays are rewarded and really show. Browny also comes to mind. You see why Babcock loves them.

One of our best players this series. Showed up every game, was our most hated player from Boston's POV.

They played like a bunch of 4th liners but I feel like the way he took hits and made hits through out the series helped the team in big way. If used on 4th line or even a 3rd line they might be beasts. Babcock just uses them in a bad way.

The fact Boston hated him so much is a good indicator as to how well he played

Zach Hyman is a beauty. He and Marner really opened my eyes this series.

 

[Liminality]

Literally just practice tipping the puck in front of the net and replace JVR's spot. Let him battle it out in front, I'm just worried that his hand skill for rebounds might be lacking too much for that.

I agree. They were cheap-shotting Hyman and Marner like crazy all series. Gotta target the most effective players.

I’d agree with your he played pretty good need more lunchpail guys like him Guys like him
you win games

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

One of the few players to bring it every night these playoffs. He was a revelation while others coasted through.

 

[Superstar]

If all our players have the passion and tenacity that Hyman shows game in a game out, we would have a dynasty.

 

[KPower]

He was great.

Just need to find him a center with some heart to play with.

I can't wait for next year Marner

If all our players bring that every night we are cup contenders

Haha literally just replied with a similar comment

 

[Stephen]

If our better players gave 80% of the effort and self sacrifice that Hyman does on every play, we'd be the best team in the league.

 

[Liminality]

I can't wait for next year Marner

Same, if Marner's true colors are 2nd half season and playoffs Marner then we're in for a treat next year.

I still consider Hyman still learning and improving. Not in his skills so much but in how he can cheat the game better and really start to become a good vet for this team.

If he gets those tips down like JVR he will be a pp mainstay

Agreed on both and both of them are just sophomores. How can they not still be just learning the NHL?

 

[Kiwi]

I'm not going to lie and say I love him stapled to Matthew's all the time but credit where it's due the guy showed up when things got tough which certainly isn't something a lot of other guys did in this series

I just hope he practices tipping pucks and banging in garbage so he can play net front on the PP next season
