The Edmonton Oilers advanced to the Stanley Cup Final after a 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars last night in Edmonton. Following the game, the 31-year-old was asked if he and the Oilers felt any additional pressure knowing that they were 'Canada's team' where he responded with a friendly shot at Leaf fans.
The 31-year-old left Toronto and signed a 7-year deal with the Oilers in the summer of 2021 and while Leafs fans were disappointed to see him go, they were happy to see him get paid. While fans in Toronto may despise the Oilers, if there is one player that many would like to see hoist Lord Stanley's mug, it is Hyman.
Game 1 of the Cup Finals goes Saturday night in Sunrise, Florida as another former Leaf in Carter Verhaeghe and the Panthers will look to win their first Stanley Cup and prevent it from going back to Canada for the first time since 1993.
