yourusername welcome back to my postgame penalty box update show: quinn is the nhl's first star of the week edition!
the canucks are now 3/3 for the four game series against the oilers with their 6-2 win tonight, and oh, what a win it was!
professional best friend and hockey player quintin jerome hughes is SO tight with the hockey gods that they made the oilers's vincent desharnais poke the puck quinn just shot into his own net! thanks hockey gods for the quinn goal, a.k.a the first goal for the boys!
my blonde princess scored two of the six goals tonight, and quinny quinn assisted on both! #JustBestieThings he also assisted on millsy's goal, giving him A FOUR POINT NIGHT! AGAIN!
in case you aren't keeping count with me, this was quinn's 4th 3+ point night of the season, 20th of his career, his 2nd 4+ point night of the season, 3rd of his career, his 4th 3+ assist game of the season, 15th of his career, and his 5th multi point game of the season, 50th of his career! that's a lot of top notch games!
and for my favorite part of the game: the third period! for one, 🚨my man millsy and zach hyman dropped the gloves🥊🚨 they just... didn't do it well... i believed in j.t. but hyman was flailing about (it looked like he was trying to punch with both hands at once... interesting tactic i might have to steal when on regular ground) and j.t. quickly had him down on the ice! and digi held back a rowdy connor mcdavid and he fell to his knees! this is all because mccaptain was acting out all night and exchanged some cross checks with millsy, so hyman fought millsy for touching his captain, and digi grabbed mccaptain for touching his bestie
AND THEN, less than a minute later, mcdavid still had some angry cat vibes left in him and fell over suter while trying to cross check him and a scrum ensued! after being yanked out of the scrum, mcdavid then decided to shove quinn for no reason and then quinn JUMPED ON HIM to hold him back from going back in! i love it here! mcdavid got a penalty for roughing, and mr. leon draisaitl got a misconduct! AND LATER THE OILERS HEAD COACH GOT A MISCONDUCT! HOW COACHY CRO OF HIM!
in conclusion, i’m so proud of you quinn! you keep getting better and better every game and i'm enjoying every minute of it! here's to many more four point nights🤍 i love you way past infinity!

Ivan Provorov’s refusal to wear the Pride Night jersey based on his ‘religion’ is wrong and let me tell you why.
He doesn’t give a fuck about his religion to the point where it dictates his life. he sleeps in bed with his girlfriend and I’m sure they probably get up to some pre-marital things…. and an abundance of other sinful things he does in life.
Provy stayed silent when his country invaded Ukraine yet this is something he just had to talk about. Shame on the Philadelphia flyers organization and John Tortorella for allowing him to play tonight — if someone refused to wear the jersey on military appreciation night you’d be outraged.
the basis of it should be if you don’t believe in what we are celebrating tonight, you don’t play and represent us tonight.
I think it’s stupid we’re still allowing people to hide behind religion. Boston has a literal bible group because those guys love their religion so much, Jewish people believe homosexuality is also a sin, in Islam it is one of the most frowned upon things.
yet the boys in Boston will still wear them, the Hughes’, Zach Hyman, Adam Fox, Nazem Kadri they’ll all wear them and have done. Stop hiding behind religion and just say what you think and own it.

"(you make my heart beat) like a hurricane" parentheticals can be included or just for context lol. as for pairing, i mean, matthew/leon brainrot, but if you can think of a more fitting one i'm all ears!
nah, let's go with the matthew/leon brainrot. what are we even on this earth for if we don't let the brainrot win sometimes?
so, ignoring the obvious punny impulse to concoct some sort of futurefic or alternate timeline where they both play for the hurricanes (carolina was runner-up in last summer's tkachuk sweepstakes, there's totally something that could be done there), i think what i'm feeling here is a tropey bottle episode of a fic. an "oh no, it's storming and you're stuck in my house overnight" fic.
actually, because i personally think it would be funny: an "oh no, it's storming and you AND your teammates are stuck in my house overnight" fic.
so, the oilers come to south florida pretty early in the season. it's still technically hurricane season, but the current tropical storm is only supposed to graze them, not make landfall, so no one is that concerned about it. how do we get a bunch of oilers over to matthew's house? i don't know, maybe something like — okay, so i believe in my heart for reasons that matthew and connor mcdavid aren't, like, FRIENDS friends but that they get along just fine and are kind of weirdly fond of each other off the ice (the reasons for this are like 90% just the fact that connor has referred to him as "matty tkachuk" more than once on camera), so maybe they wind up hanging out a bit at the NHL awards this summer, kinda laughing about the old battle of alberta rivalry days — maybe a reporter asked one of them about it in some weird attempt to make a story, like, oh you're not on rival teams anymore but would it still be extra fun to beat him out for the hart? and they both think that was kind of stupid and funny. connor has some great stories about media being deeply stupid and funny, they can bond over it a little bit, and so maybe matthew "loves to play host in his giant florida home" tkachuk, slightly drunk, is like, hey when you guys are in florida next season bring some of the boys over for dinner. bury the hatchet for real.
ANYWAY. god. okay. i'm just giving up on making these short now. the oilers come to florida pretty early in the season, etc etc, and connor shows up to dinner at matthew's with, like, leon and zach hyman and kailer — kailer and matthew overlapped for a year at the program, they could totally be friendly. everyone feels a little bit weird about this, including matthew and connor, who are the ones who committed to this in the first place, but no one involved is going to be the one to back down first.
but oooh, what of the leon of it all? when connor informed him he was coming along he probably snorted and said "yeah, i'm sure he'll love that," and connor rolled his eyes and said, "oh, come on, it'll be fine," and leon, unfortunately, is too loyal to not dutifully come along. someone has to be there to keep connor from being the most awkward human alive. and also maybe leon kind of wants to go. maybe he has something to say to matthew tkachuk, except it's really hard to get a guy alone for a conversation when you're on different teams and you're not friends and also one of you moved across the continent.
so they all show up for dinner when they get into town the night before the game, and it's a little weird and awkward at first, but it gets pretty fun, actually! sasha barkov and sam bennett are also there — for backup, just in case, matthew jokes — and it's a pretty good time! there is a series of comedic errors where every time leon thinks he's getting a moment alone to say something, he gets interrupted, because it's ALSO hard to have a conversation when there are five other dudes hanging around. it's also possible that matthew is avoiding him a little bit. this is understandable, considering the one and only time matthew ever texted him — hey, good series. good luck. take care of yourself, in the early, early morning hours of the morning after the oilers had eliminated the flames from the 2022 playoffs — leon never texted back.
not, like, on purpose. he was just distracted. by the playoffs. and he didn't know what to say. and he kept thinking about responding and then not responding and then it had been too long to respond without it being awkward, which was fine, it's not like they were friends, they only even had each other's numbers because someone put all the members of the pacific division all star team in a group chat that weekend in 2020, but leon has felt a tad bit guilty about it ever since. he just wants to apologize! then he can go on with his life with a clear conscience.
they eat; they drink; time flies when you're having fun; and then kailer looks out the window and goes, "oh shit, it's really coming down."
the tropical storm changed paths, and now there's a flood warning and it's no longer safe to drive. cue much checking of weather, and it becomes clear the safe thing to do is not go anywhere until morning. good thing i have guest rooms! matthew says. we don't want to impose like that, connor starts to protest, but matthew puts his foot down: he is NOT dealing with the drama that would happen if the best hockey player in the world got swept out to sea on his watch. and it's important for everyone else to stay safe too, or whatever. between the guest rooms and the sofas, there's plenty of room. connor calls the oilers coach about it, it's all gonna be fine.
leon finally gets matthew alone when matthew is cleaning up in the kitchen after insisting he doesn't want any help, so everyone else is sprawled in the living room watching sports. no one's getting wasted because they have a game tomorrow, but everyone's had a few beers, and it's getting a little rowdy. leon says he's getting a glass of water and find matthew washing the steak knives. he awkwardly thanks matthew for dinner ("hey, thanks for coming, always fun to have people over," matthew says) and then, also awkwardly, apologizes for not texting back. you know, a year and a half ago. there was a lot going on. he was on a lot of painkillers.
matthew hisses and drops the knife he's washing into the sink. leon's at his side in seconds, but it's a shallow cut, and matthew just rolls his eyes and sticks the wounded finger in his mouth. which is a better reason than leon has previously had to look at matthew's mouth, at least.
but— "it's no big deal. the texting thing," matthew says, around his finger, then normally when he takes it out of his mouth to add, "i was really fucking drunk when i sent it anyway. i don't know what i was thinking." he trails off a bit at this last part, because leon has taken it upon himself to examine the wound — it really is fine; matthew's finger is more red from his own teethmarks than from the cut.
anyway, it's good that matthew wasn't upset about the texting thing, he says. he'd felt bad about it. he didn't know if matthew was trying to be friends or what. and matthew gives him this funny little look and is like, "well, we could be friends." leon looks up from the very important medical attention he's providing, except now he's just looking at matthew's mouth again. he considers some variations on the definition of "friend."
except of course they're interrupted here by a commotion from the next room, which completely breaks the moment, and the next few hours of hanging out in matthew's living room with all the guys go pretty normally, except for how leon keeps catching matthew looking at him, and which keeps making matthew give him this sheepish grin before looking away, which makes leon feel some very stupid things. there's something in the water down here, he thinks. he has a disease now. he has a matthew tkachuk disease. when everyone starts shuffling off to bed at a semi-reasonable hour, matthew running around distributing towels and spare toothbrushes and whatever else people need, leon hangs back, poking at his weird little feelings, until matthew comes back downstairs to ask with a crooked grin, "so did you draw the short straw for the couch down here?"
"more like wrestled it away from connor," leon deadpans. matthew is all loose and cheerful like someone who's still a little tipsy, and leon knows logically that he's also a little bit drunk, but he feels very sober. maybe this is why it seems totally logical, when matthew gets close enough, to tug him in by the hem of his shirt and kiss him on the mouth.
he gets about three seconds of kissing in before actual logic kicks in, and he jerks back — "shit, sorry, i don't know why i did that." matthew just kind of stares at him for a mortifyingly long moment, brow furrowed, then he licks his lips and swallows and says, "you know, there's somewhere else you could sleep besides the couch."
and oh, leon is so tempted. he's SO tempted. but it's a bad idea, right? it's probably a bad idea, especially with all the other guys in the house. so.
"probably not a very good idea," he says, apologetic. matthew gives him a half-smile and a shrug, says to let him know if he needs anything, and goes back upstairs.
except after a couple of hours of lying on the couch, after everyone else has fallen asleep, obviously leon tiptoes up to matthew's room and they immediately have intense, fucknasty trying-to-stay-quiet sex. literally everyone can tell the next morning, and they never, ever, ever live it down.

I want to talk about pride night for hockey players and everything that's happened recently with players refusing to wear their pride jerseys. Now, I'm rather new here. I've been into hockey since roughly November or December so I couldn't confidently tell you if players refusing to wear pride jerseys is new or not, but I wouldn't doubt it.
Now, as a queer person, seeing hockey players speak up about players not wearing their pride jerseys means a lot, because to me? That's not the bare minimum they could be doing. The bare minimum is wearing the pride jerseys. The extra mile is talking about it.
Wearing them means a lot, it's not to say it doesn't. Seeing queer people represented as a queer and trans person means a lot. To know that players wouldn't do the bare minimum and won't wear the jersey? That just sucks, to know that their homophobia is that deep that they won't wear a jersey of all things. I also want to make it clear that homophobia based on religion is still homophobia.
Moving on though, seeing players speak up about players not wearing their jerseys means something. It's not the bare minimum to speak about it, especially in a fanbase that's created a culture that can be very toxic to marginalized people. Now, Tumblr is different obviously, but my time spent on Instagram and the comments I've seen have kind of shown me that the type of toxic culture that has been curated doesn't necessarily phase out just because it's 2023. It's lesser, but it's not gone.
People like Zach Hyman, Tyson Barrie, and Matthew Tkachuk, Ethan Bear, and Quinn Hughes talking about it is important. It's putting their voice out there and saying they won't stand for it and that it frustrates them to see it and that they accept their fanbase. They welcome people to games, no matter who they are and who they love and that's important. Existing as a queer person can be tough on its own, but to know that people, specifically players, welcome you to the game? That's important.
The Leafs have taken it a step further by inviting Meghan Duggan to speak up about her own experiences as a queer female hockey player, because she provides perspective and that's important. So often it's hard to understand other people's marginalization, because it only exists from your perspective of them and not how they've perceived their own oppression and marginalization.
This isn't a comparison but rather an appreciation for how the Leafs as an organization have taken it a step further. Some Leafs players have even taken it to put pride tape on their sticks during /other/ team's pride nights. That's important, that is no small thing. That is support even though you're not being mandated to show that you support queer people.
I appreciate the players that have really taken steps in showing their support for their queer community outside of the pride jersey and the tape. That still means something, but it means a lot when players are willing to use their voices as respected players in the league and speak up about it. I think it gets easy to focus on the way players haven't shown their support and it's important to recognize that as well as it shows a lot about how the league has handled issues like this, but it's also important to recognize players who do speak up too and how they've contributed as well.
However, I also want to talk about the feeling of bitterness that comes with seeing this as well and to feel as if it isn't the bare minimum. Ideally, speaking up should be the bare minimum and it probably would be if it weren't for the fact that players aren't doing the genuine bare minimum, which is wearing the actual pride jersey.
I recognize that appreciating players speaking up can have a certain bittersweet feeling and I think it's important to acknowledge that, especially when there are larger issues at hand, especially with queer and trans identities. But I also think it's especially important these players speak out, even if it feels like that should be the bare minimum.

Hi bestie I'm making a presentation on Mitch to my friends (please don't ask I have immeasurable brainrot and need to get it out somehow) but I don't really know what to include to really encapsulate all of his... everything so what are your personal favourite moments/ important Mitch lore. Also if you could drop some pics of him sitting on men's laps and engaging in otherwise questionable activity that would also be appreciated lol
oh my GOD. that is SO CUTE and i am so so honored to be called upon to help you with this incredible project.
i feel like (although its in need of an update. not me doing quarterly updates of this mitch marner primer like it's my actual job) my mitch marner primer will have a lot of the content you're looking for (if you haven't already seen it flkjdlsss. apologies in advance for the insanity of this even existing) *also my matt martin tag, justin holl tag, and patrick marleau tag has a lot of adorable gifs and photos!)
random things that immediately come to mind are what justin holl and alex kerfoot and Zach hyman said about mitch that just STAY WITH ME because i feel like they convey what mitch means and is for the people around him: justin holl: “you can’t really put into words how much Mitchy means to this team” alex kerfoot [when asked about where the leafs miss mitch the most - when mitch was out with injury i think]: "we miss him everywhere" zach hyman listing the things he'd want on a desert island: mitch
Other lore stuff (this is going to be very stream of consciousness and messy...apologies in advance)
The way Mitch draws SMILEY FACES and stuff on his gloves to remind him that hockey is supposed to be fun (and sometimes he writes Z on it - presumably for Zeus. Other times he's written H on it for Hayden, a child cancer patient/friend that Mitch befriended during his London Knights Days, which you can read more about here)
THE ENTIRE ATHLETIC ARTICLE about what mitch was like during his London Knights days https://theathletic.com/2469915/2021/03/25/mitch-marner-ohl-season/. THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ARTICLE but does have a paywall…if you don’t have a subscription, copy+pasting the athletic link into here should allow you to bypass
This video of Zach asking reporters if they caught Mitch singing loudly in the lockerroom lmao. I just LOVE how every single Leaf immediately points out Mitch as the one who's most likely to always be busting out into song and dance. I just know he was a Gleek when he was younger i just KNOW IT
What Jon Cooper says about Mitch. i just know jon cooper is smackin his lips somewhere out there wanting to sign mitch to play for him. Coops i know what you are
The way it's literally IMPOSSIBLE for mitch to go ANYWHERE or do anything without acquiring at least 3-5 doting father figures who want to kidnap him and squeeze him like a stress ball (same)
EVERY. SINGLE. THING about the 2015 NHL draft class and the friendship between connor dylan and mitch. every single thing
The way Mitch takes ANY and EVERY opportunity he can to gas auston and his teammates up! and his general inability to chirp anyone without immediately backtracking (most noticeable in the leaf to leaf with matt martin) and being a big loser about it. I know he always says he LOVES getting under his friends' skin and being annoying but i feel like this is like the time he asserted "he was thick for his size"? aka patently false but we love the DELUSION for you, babygirl! no but fr - it is generally impossible for mitch to get through any media appearance without complimenting or referring to auston at LEAST once. that boy is a simp to the core for auston matthews. this i think is even sweeter because - idk about now - but it's pretty clear that mitch's dad saw auston as a massive rival to mitch and a threat to mitch's potential success with the leafs? so mitch's friendship with auston and general "HEART EYES HUMINA HUMINA AWOOOGA HES SO GOOD HES MY BIG BOY HES MY MASSIVE MAN" demeanor about auston is all...in spite of his dad
The way he's never met a goalie he hasn't fallen in love with
The way he loves all dogs and kids (and the way kids seem to gravitate toward him). he's a CARICATURE of a man.
The way he complains and whines SO much whenever his teammate posts a photo without tagging him, even if he's not even in the photo. the constant need for attention. the babygirl behavior!
The way he sTILL HATES VEGETABLES and distrusts soup because of the texture and YET will make "ice cream soup" by mixing it with a spoon until it's all melted before he eats it. like what the fuck? what the fuck.
his utterly guileless warmth and happiness and enthusiasm for LIFE, hockey, and his PALS. he's a little stupid sometimes but he's so sweet and so CUTE and just a little k-pop group maknae-coded man
The way he melts himself into older players' families so thoroughly their kids believe that mitch is actually one of them
Moments of Mitch sitting on other players' laps or generally needing to be the most tactile physical-affection craving baby:
mitch and matt napping and spooning
this just makes me laugh bc mitch...wat are u doin
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
anyway, i will end this with what my friend said about mitch: i think once you're friends with mitch you just accept that he will be cuddling and spooning and draping himself over you. look. all these men clearly have the tired expressions of 'look, mitch just happened to me i didnt have a choice.'

Going into round two:
Obviously I’m going to be rooting for leafs and devils but I have nothing against canes or panthers (minus exactly two)
In the west I have no horse in either race but I think kraken winning would be funnier and also I love Zach Hyman with my whole chest so I’ll be going for the oilers in that one. But again I have no issue with either other team.
All good vibes all around ✌🏻 ❤️ 🏒

Some Of The Hockey Players That I Am Emotionally Attached To, And The Nicknames I Have For Them:
1. Zombie Boy (Jason Zucker)— I too am a Jew who is always injured. Plus he has a nice beard and kind eyes.
2. L’Chyman (Zach Hyman)— my 2nd favorite Jewish hockey player, he does a lot of charity work for different Jewish foundations. He is my short handed goal king.
3. Squidney (Sidney Crosby)— oh captain, my captain. I love that during the offseason he vanishes off the face of the earth, emerging once or twice to publicly hang out with Nathan MacKinnon and shoot a Tim Horton’s commercial. Goals, as the kids say, for I am an introvert.
4. Geno Machino (Evgeni Malkin)— do yourself a favor and look up that promo where he and Sid went to houses to drum up hype for the season and he says “oh, hi” to a cat. I rest my case.
5. EGod/ERod (Evan Rodrigues)— every time he doesn’t score his shoulders slump. Very hard worker. Small but hits people. What’s not to love?
6. Hi, Nin! (Danton Heinen)— my cat’s name is ninja and every time he walks into the room I am in I say “Danton!” He also makes a funny concentration face when he is shooting.
7. Campy (Adrian Kempe)— my mom’s favorite player. She decided that she was a Kings fan when the Pens were going through a losing slump and randomly chose Kempe to be her favorite player. When I said “why are you a kings fan?” she responded “Campy (how she thought it was pronounced for some reason) hits the puck so hard it bounces out of the net.”
8. Flower (Marc-André Fleury)— I feel like this one doesn’t require an explanation.
9. Rusty Razor (Bryan Rust)— he has been my favorite Penguin since forever.

The Hockey Confessional Rules:
1. You can be a hater here. That's fine. However, racist, homophobic, and other discriminatory insults will not be tolerated.
Example: "Zach Hyman is a McDavid merchant and is overhyped!" -> FINE. "Zach Hyman is a filthy Jew who profits off actually talented players!" -> NOT OKAY.
2. Please do not attack other fans.
Example: "I don't like Blues fans, they're always mean to me when I attend games as an away fan." -> FINE. "Blues fans are mouth breathers, have the IQ of peanuts, and need to go back to where they came from!" -> NOT OKAY.
3. No "calling out" Tumblrs you don't agree with. Resolve your personal disputes elsewhere.
Example: "I hate seeing posts glorifying Pyotr Kochetkov when many of his saves recklessly endanger his opponents." -> FINE. "I hate @pyotrkochetkovsbiggestfan because they constantly post about Pyotr Kochetkov." -> NOT OKAY, and also, just block them?
4. If you read a confession you do not agree with, it is not your responsibility to white-knight. You will likely not change anyone's opinion.
Example: "Linus Ullmark doesn't appeal to me" does not need to be replied to with a photo dump of 30 Ullmark pictures and fervent pleas of "but he's so cute!!! how could anyone not like him???" Neither does it need to be replied to with 30 confessions of "Linus Ullmark is the best goalie ever!"
5. RPF-related confessions are fine, but, again, do not attack or call out people/fics you don't agree with.
Example: "I don't understand Sid/Geno shippers when Sid/Kris is right there!" -> FINE. "The newest fic written by SidGenoLover69 is awful and I wish it were Sid/Kris instead." -> NOT OKAY.
6. If you are uncomfortable with this blog, please block it or filter out the tag #hockey confessions. Curate your own experience.
(Note: confessions against teams will be tagged #anti [team's city]; confessions against players will be tagged #anti [initals][jersey number], as such -> #anti edmonton #anti cm97. This is to avoid these posts ending up in player/team tags.)
7. By submitting a confession, you are giving us permission to post it and for it to be reblogged. If you do not wish your confession to be posted, please make this explicit when you send it in. We will post directly from the ask pile, so make sure to turn on anonymity.
8. All viewpoints are not ours and we do not claim responsibility for them.
9. Do not reshare any of our posts outside of Tumblr.
10. If you have any other questions, ask the mods here at HC and we'll get back to you!
X. Confessions can also be positive! We strongly encourage that if you send in a negative confession, you send in a positive one as well. Positivity makes the world go 'round!
Example: "I simply think Anze Kopitar is the best player ever." -> YES! "@hockeyartist101 makes the most beautiful MattDrai art!" -> ENCOURAGED! "I love hockeyblr so much, even when we have our disagreements sometimes you guys make me feel at home and I'm so grateful for the friends I've made!" -> NOW THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!
While our rules mostly deal with negative confessions (as these are most likely to be rule-breaking), we hope that all kinds of confessions filter through our confessional walls.
Ready to confess? Confess here!

an old thing i made for an old leafs blog that no longer exists on the internet
I’ve been in love with Kenny Ryan ever since I first found out he existed. The 50th overall selection by the Leafs in the 2009 Entry Draft, his 36 points in 46 points with the US Development Program, he looked like a good pick up. The next year he went over to the OHL to play with Windsor and had a rough time adjusting, putting up 35 points in 52 games which is not very good for an NHL prospect. The next year, still with Windsor Kenny put up 60 points in 62 games. And while I have never seen Kenny play live, this showed me what kind of player he was. Kenny Ryan was the Zach Hyman beta, he was never going to be the best, but he would work harder than everyone else. 
After his 60 points year with the Spitfire Ryan was signed to the Leafs on his ELC, where he started playing with the Marlies. This only lasted 16 games and he spent the remainder of the season with the Reading Royals of the ECHL, where he put up 23 points in 32 games. The next season he was given another shot at the Marlies lineup and this time he wasn't going to let it go to waste. He managed to stay up with the team all year and put up 21 points in 59 games, a great improvement from the last year. The 2014 season would sadly also be his last in the Leafs organization. He regressed and could only put up 9 goals and 16 points in 50 total games, and they just didn't need him anymore. After he left the Marlies he went on to put up similar numbers on different AHL and ECHL teams and now finds himself playing in a Swiss league. That furthers my belief that this mystical players that I've never seen works harder than everyone else. Most player, when they can't even hold an American League job decide to call it quits, but not Kenny Ryan. He found a league where he can be point per game, with 4 points in 4 game so far, and refused to give up his dream of being a hockey player, and strangely enough through just these stats, I think he could still play in the NHL some day. Someone that needs a defensive player to help with some not so great defensive ones, like a lesser Connor Brown. And if he keeps trying I think it can happen.
I remembered about Kenny when I was playing the all time classic game, NHL 14 and came across him and his 3.5 star red potential and immediately decided that I was going to make him an NHL player. And in that file it's now the 17-18 season and he's 82 overall. And even in the game he feels like he works harder to get that. He's not great in any category, but decent enough in all of them, and that's how I got obsessed with my favourite ex prospect I've never seen before.

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
