Zach Hyman issues bold claim for Oilers

The pain may still be fresh for the Edmonton Oilers after they lost in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final to the Florida Panthers, but fans won't have to wait long for them to make a return to the championship round in the words of forward Zach Hyman.

Hyman, who scored an astounding 16 goals during the Stanley Cup Playoffs and was a key element in Edmonton's near successful pull off of a historic reverse sweep against Florida, stated his belief in no uncertain terms that he and his teammates would be back playing for the Cup again in short order.

“Hey, there’s nothing that’s going to make this feel better,” Hyman said. “Got nothing to say, but I [expletive] know, I know we’re going to be back. I [expletive] know it. I [expletive] know we’re going to be back to it, I know it with my [expletive] heart. I think this is the [expletive] worst feeling in the world.

“I hope everyone comes back, too. This team’s [expletive] special,” Hyman added.

Despite teammate and superstar captain Connor McDavid being awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the postseason, Hyman certainly etched his name into the conversation with his performance.
