#also ok to rb. spread the zach hyman supremacy

[jamesvanriemsdyk]

I followed you for the flyers and now am getting sucked into the leafs and JT's hair. !!! But now I'm also curious about hyman,, any trivia you wanna share bout his coolness? I wanna know more and more about this team now🥺 (yes I already consumed your leafs primer thank you your grace)

obsessed with the fact that you pointed out jt’s hair specifically tbh. also thank you for calling me your grace it gave me gender euphoria. anyway here we go lets talk about zach hyman!

he’s jewish and he met his wife alannah at the hebrew high school they both attended. they now have a baby together!! i want them both to marry me!!!!!

hes also a best-selling, award-winning children’s book author

he has a third job that has something to do with video games and its apparently pretty cool but i dont understand anything about it or video games in general so

apparently went to princeton for a year which. smart and intelligent king

also has a degree in history from the university of michigan. literal king

he was drafted in the fifth round by the panthers but they couldnt agree on a contract so the panthers traded his contract rights to the leafs and they signed him in 2015

he played with the marlies first, and steve dangle once asked sheldon keefe and kyle dubas separately who they thought the most underrated forward in the organization was and they both said zach hyman

he has the franchise record for most short handed goals in a rookie season (four!!)

speaking of shorthanded goals, he’s an absolutely amazing penalty killer. like my obsession with penalty killing in general probably originated with him lmao hes just so good at it

hes also such an amazing forechecker. hes usually paired with either tavares or matthews because his forechecking skills are literally integral in getting them goals. they dont score unless zach hyman is there being his determined annoying self during the forecheck and i fucking love him for that

i am not the only one who loves him for that. leafs nation would die for him lol

i dont know how real this is but i vaguely remember hearing that kyle dubas once laughed at the idea of taking calls about trading zach hyman which. mood

i used to say that i thought he should be captain because hes always, always been such a leader on this team both on and off the ice. his work ethic is fucking insane; this is a man who is dedicated through and through to the leafs organization specifically. he loves the leafs and the leafs love him and i will never not be emotional about it

in conclusion: stan zach hyman
