RAW | Zach Hyman, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 06.26.24

Zach and Ryan talk with the media about how their season ended as they reflect on their long playoff run.

[@catdee609]

As much as I love regular happy and positive Hyman. I love this dark, too the point, serious Hyman to. I think Hyman comes out next year and outdoes this season - now with this new Dark Hyman energy.

[@jerrysbrain]

dark hyman is gonna be something else

[@_Customized]

Hyman is gonna go back to what he truly is. A 25 goal/50 point guy, tops.

[@mahockey3]

​@@_Customized you sound like one of those tards who thinks he's not an elite player, even though he absolutely is 😂

[@TheQuazimofo]

*too

[@ejeigohwnw]

@@_Customizedwho knows? he might do even better next year, doubt he will but wouldn’t be against it

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

In the end, a few inches and one goal divides the cup from the incredible run the Oilers made. We all saw exactly what you did, cup or no cup, and it was gorgeous and epic. Thanks for the brilliant season

[@TheRipePunani]

If anything it just further reinforces how damn hard it is to win the Cup. A single mistake on the defense like giving Reinhart time and space to shoot or Bob managing to block Hyman's potential tying goal...so many could haves and what ifs.

[@willp9226]

Thanks Zach & Ryan for all your efforts and an amazing run to the seventh game, super exciting and the experience will guide you to winning the cup next year. You've got what it takes, and all the fans look forward to next season, and next years playoffs.

[@Maximus-yi2zu]

Sincerely from the bottom of my ❤ THANK YOU for this season 😁 It was Priceless Memmories wouldn't change it for ANYTHING on this planet

[@jy3ster]

This is different than 2006, this time I believe we can win the cup next year

[@user-lg3ss2xq2q]

As a fan this team, even though they lost breaks my heart. I am very proud to be a Wheeler and this team. They gave us a reason to hope and cheer again after lots of dead years thank you boys worth every minute cheering for the team.

[@JeffBisCamp]

Congratulations McDavid on Winning The Conn Smythe Trophy 🏆!! Keep Up The Great Work !! Cheers bro ! Great Job Boys !! 🏆🏒😎👍

[@yoklingwong2362]

both Zach and Ryan are wonderful hockey players !!!

[@ginnungagap69]

We’re gonna be back at the cup next year and it won’t be the uphill climb like it was this year. You guys worked so hard and you did great, regardless if the cup came to Edmonton this time. This team looks incredible right now. It’s gonna be a quick break and we’re gonna see the best team in the west dominate its way back to a SCF. How cool would it be to see a rematch?

[@DPSARAUJO]

Heartbreaking outcome

[@cindyrussell1581]

Another great couple of guys. Cant wait until the fall.

[@jasperflurey9477]

Grumpy Hyman is chefs kiss 😂

[@elisabarbuto4709]

Having belief to win is huge, I agree, however being injury-free is crucial as well. Specifically referring to Leon’s hand/rib issues, being finally shared with the media, explain his inability to score when so needed. With that being said, take this time to reflect, recharge and relish this time with family and friends. 🧡Go Oilers Go! (This coming from a “Leafs” fan 😂)

ZACH!! 2 month is good ... I like playing hockey! Love it.

[@user-hr7vo6jz8k]

Zach is somber, almost depressing. Usually he is a fan favorite with a such a positive attitude and an amazing work ethic. In one way, he should be happy since, as an accomplished author of Children's books, he can't find any better material than this year.

[@sonudeol9053]

Minute 2:23, Hyman's face when the reporter said they came within 1 shot of the Stanley Cup. He felt that

[@Maximus-yi2zu]

We went from the bottom to The TOP ( par 1 goal ) Look at the adversaries WE ( as a team ) Overcame 😁 ENJOY ya vacations GOT a whole summer to reply ALL THE GAMES 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@yegman]

Game 6 was so loud i can still hear LETS GO OILERS!

[@RodCalidge]

You guys were the real MVPs. Most Valuable Pylons.

[@thekiltedzombie8230]

Really

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

Casper is that you? Where is Mumford when you need a hug right?

[@richparsons3971]

"As a group..." "As a group..." Again and again, "as a group". Messier was right - you win championships "as a team", not "as a group". Teams are special - a higher level than a "group". When you become a team, you can be a champion. A "group" is simply a collection of people...a team is something special.

[@MolsonM3]

Gordon Bombay is that you?

[@BobsUruncle-dl7cs]

You are 100% correct.... Jeff Jackson brought a Trojan Horse named Mumford into the Dressing room that impacted like a Poison Pill.... a Group of Individuals all seeking their Inner Excellence..is not a Team. Full stop. Mumford was an Epic failure.

[@user-oq5pq6xe2h]

Hopefully nuge works on his shot this summer

[@_Customized]

Bum😂

[@andrewsilva6193]

😂

[@TH-tl6sy]

18.9% shooting accuracy in the playoffs snd had 7 goals. Draisaitl 13% McDavid 10% I think his shot is just fine. He was fantastic defensively. Played full 200 foot game, straight up saved a goal in the finals. Guy doesn't sacrifice Defense for offense.

[@user-oq5pq6xe2h]

@@TH-tl6sy yeah how many shots did he take? I love nuge dont get me wrong, but there are wayyyy too many times, especially on the PP where a shot instead of a pass would make a world of difference. He loves looking for the perfect play. Just set up some garbage goals, it will pay off

[@TubbyBenAKAEricCartman]

2 GIRLS, NO CUP

[@PolitiCanada]

I sure don't have a good feeling on how this team will look next year.

[@carsoneddy8886]

How many people said the same thing last year? If you should take anything from this run, it’s to have faith.

[@mikewood8561]

Florida cheated like 5 times in the playoffs and got away with it. They shouldn't of been there. Guess luck has something to do with it. You guys will win it next year!!

[@evanmoore6170]

lol and the oilers were perfect angels?? They shoulda had several suspensions and calls that they didn’t. Leon on Barkov , all the knees and hits from behind. It’s playoffs. Your team lost but was just as if not dirtier than any team.

[@_Customized]

These losers deserved to lose. They had too easy of a path. First, they dodged playing Vegas & Colorado in this postseason run. Both of those squads would've knocked them out. Instead, they played a pathetic LA team with no goaltending, a Vancouver team without their stud starting goalie, & an aging overrated Dallas team that is average-to-good, at best.

[@ArasakaXV]

​@@_Customized this might be the worst hockey take I've seen lmao

[@coyotehammer6947]

Better team won. Stop with the cheating nonsense

[@Jackie-dc2js]

You guys are the best. They cheated.

Lol well congrats on your first comment on the Oilers channel. It's an embarrassing one.

[@user-jv5vb6hs6f]

Rigged series they should have never had a come back like that. But I’m glad they lost it. Betman made this look like a wwe match thankfully the heels lost the series.

[@_Customized]

Cry losers cry😂 Go Avs!!!

[@user-oq5pq6xe2h]

What round did the Avs make it to? What an L comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@micheleannable1720]

who?

[@roximama]

Wow. Two years since we played you guys in the playoffs and you still get triggered at the site of the Oilers. You might wanna up your meds or something.

[@cindyrussell1581]

Went alot further than you.

[@kurtgomez1147]

still sore winners after 2 years? lmao get off the oilers dick

[@dannowicki3696]

Edmonton is the better team 💯 % You guy's deserve the cup!!! Great season boy's. Haven't missed a game in 3years

[@Sm0kieJ]

Oilers lost to the Stanley cup Champions the last three years.

[@tony-zo5ih]

only if skinner would of saved that 2nd goal ..

[@DiscreteNinja]

Not on him, was it a weak goal, absolutely. But the boys needed to squeak one past bob and they couldn’t deliver

[@3k461]

I’d say that was on kulak he got dragged by the guy going to the net instead of the puck and screened him at the same time
