Podcast appearances and mentions of Zach Hyman

Edmonton Oilers leadership, including Zach Hyman and Leon Draisaitl, are reportedly advocating for Mike Babcock to become their next head coach despite his history of bullying. They discuss the potential fallout of such a hire and whether Babcock's lack of remorse will prevent his return to the NHL. Earlier, the conversation covers international football nicknames and the double-landlocked geography of Uzbekistan. 01:15 - World Cup Nicknames 05:14 - Oilers Coaching Search 13:30 - Charity and Athletes

Rumours continue to swirl that Mike Babcock could be the next head coach of the Edmonton Oilers, a surprising development given his recent comments about being retired and the controversy surrounding his exits from Toronto and Columbus. The belief is that key Oilers leaders, including Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman, may have supported the idea, with Edmonton seemingly accepting that Bruce Cassidy is no longer a realistic option. In Toronto, Joe Pavelski has emerged as a potential coaching candidate, with comparisons being drawn to Martin St. Louis' successful jump behind the bench in Montreal, although the Leafs would be attempting the experiment from a far different competitive position. Meanwhile, frustration has boiled over in Detroit as Dylan Larkin has reportedly requested a trade, providing a three-team wish list of Florida, Vegas and Minnesota after years of playoff disappointment and another painful late-season collapse. On the ice, the Stanley Cup Final continues to deliver incredible drama, highlighted by Game 3 in which Carolina fell behind 4-0 before mounting a remarkable comeback to force overtime, all while maintaining its composure through the adversity. Mitch Marner stole the spotlight early with a natural hat trick and 10-shot performance that showcased a rarely seen shooter's mentality, though his heroics were ultimately overshadowed by the game's wild momentum swings and Vegas' eventual victory.

B"H What does it mean to be a Kiddush Hashem? It doesn't only mean giving a sermon or wearing something visibly religious. Sometimes it means being excellent in your field and being unapologetically Jewish while doing it. When athletes like Deni Avdija or Zach Hyman speak openly about their Jewish identity, their connection to Hashem, or to Eretz Yisrael, that matters. It plants something in the people watching. Kiddush Hashem means bringing Hashem's Name into whatever arena you're in. Sports, business, medicine, tech, construction — anywhere. You never know who is watching, and you never know what spark it might ignite. Pride, integrity, and presence are never insignificant. #Judaism #KiddushHashem #NBA #NHL #Jewish To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!

The boys also revisit Leon Draisaitl's postgame comments from Wednesday night and debate whether his frustration points to deeper issues within the organization.

Sunday’s Tampa Bay vs Boston outdoor game delivered a true spectacle — great hockey weather, a goalie fight, and a wild Lightning comeback from four goals down — though not without controversy, as Boston bristled at the penalty disparity and power plays that swung momentum, even if, as Ray notes, the Bruins are among the league’s most-penalized teams. The game also raised Olympic questions with Anthony Cirelli injured and Brayden Point’s status looming, highlighting the rigidity of Olympic rosters where changes can’t be made once the tournament begins, prompting speculation about potential standby players flying to Italy, while Sam Bennett is banged up but expected to be fine and Zach Hyman’s name creeps into the conversation given his 50-goal-pace production and versatility. Meanwhile, Connor McDavid gave fans a rare, heartfelt glimpse into his mindset with his Players’ Tribune piece “Dear Canada,” a raw expression of his love for the game and a clear signal — especially to Oilers fans — of his desire to win a Stanley Cup in Edmonton. Barry Trotz announced he’ll step down as Nashville Predators GM at season’s end for family reasons, with the organization hoping to have a new GM in place by the draft, marking the first time in franchise history that neither Trotz nor David Poile will be involved.

Let's do this! The Cult of Hockey podcast. By the Faithful and for the Faithful. Today Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal digs into the Edmonton Oilers 4-1 win over the Red Wings of Buffalo Game Overview: The Oilers celebrated a satisfying victory, with the team showcasing a solid performance against the Detroit Red Wings. David and Kurt noted that the game felt secure once the Oilers netted their third goal, with the team effectively shutting down any potential threats from their opponents. The hosts emphasized the importance of managing fatigue, especially during back-to-back games, which can significantly affect player performance. Zach Hyman's Comeback: One of the standout performances in the game came from Zach Hyman, who scored a hat trick. Kurt pointed out that Hyman's recent struggles stemmed from a wrist injury sustained during the playoffs last year, which raised concerns about his ability to return to form. However, his performance in this game suggested that he might be regaining his previous prowess. David recalled a moment from a prior game where Hyman demonstrated improved wrist strength, hinting that he could be back to his old self. Hyman's contributions are crucial for the Oilers, especially as the team looks to enhance its scoring depth. The Importance of Team Dynamics: David and Kurt highlighted the synergy between Hyman, Connor McDavid, and Leon Draisaitl, noting how their on-ice chemistry resulted in beautiful plays. One example discussed was Hyman's first goal, which was set up by a remarkable pass from McDavid, demonstrating the patience and vision that elite players possess. This discussion underscored the significance of teamwork and communication in achieving success on the ice. Evan Bouchard's Performance: The podcast also touched on Evan Bouchard's contributions and the criticisms he faces regarding his defensive skills. While both hosts acknowledged his offensive talent, they agreed that Bouchard needs to improve his defensive play, particularly during crucial moments. David recounted a story from Gary Galley about Ray Bourque, emphasizing that great players often take risks to make exceptional plays, which can lead to turnovers. This analogy served to frame the discussion about Bouchard, suggesting that while he may have defensive lapses, his offensive capabilities are invaluable. Conclusion: The Oilers' recent victory showcased not only individual brilliance but also the importance of teamwork and resilience. Zach Hyman's return to form is a promising sign for the team, as is the continued excellence of McDavid and Draisaitl. Additionally, while Bouchard's defensive play may need refinement, his offensive contributions are vital for the team's success. As the season progresses, monitoring these players' performances will be crucial for the Oilers' aspirations.

It's taken the Menschwarmers several weeks of mourning to get over the Toronto Blue Jays' World Series loss against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and no amount of broadcast cutaways to 89-year-old Sandy Koufax in the crowd during that intense seven-game series can help. But now, weeks later, after the shivas have ended for that miracle run, The CJN's sports podcasters are back—and they have a lot to look forward to. In this episode, they take note of Deni Avdija, the Portland Trail Blazer who's having a breakout season that could make him the first Israeli to ever make an NBA All-Star team. Then they turn to Zach Hyman, who triumphantly returned to the Edmonton Oilers and immediately logged a career-high 11 hits in a game, after getting injured in last season's Western Conference Finals and missing the Stanley Cup Finals entirely. After that, they look south to college football, where Jake Retzlaff has lead the Tulane Green Wave to tie for first place in the American Conference. There are plenty of accomplishments worth celebrating for Jewish athletes—catch up on what's happening with this week's episode of Menschwarmers.

The Oilers keep the road trip rolling with an overtime win against the Hurricanes, and The Oil Stream is here to break it all down! Hernan and Tommy dissect everything from last night's victory — the line combinations, Stuart Skinner's performance, Zach Hyman's continued impact, and the key moments that sealed the win.   Then it's on to tonight's matchup in Buffalo as the Oilers get set to take on the Sabres. The boys will preview the game, look at projected lineups for both teams, and dive into what Edmonton needs to do to keep the momentum going.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert kick off the Friday edition with Hockey Night in Canada's Ron MacLean (1:01). They get into the Leafs' early-season woes after suffering a fourth straight loss to the LA Kings, how Zach Hyman's return can stabilize the slow starting Oilers, John Tavares' case for Team Canada, and how he's preparing for the Grey Cup this weekend. Then, Ailish and Justin take a closer look at the Leafs' issues and consider whether they can turn it around. Finally, they open up the Friday Free-For-All and go around the sports world with their burning questions, including whether the Thunder set an NBA record for wins this season, what position the Blue Jays should prioritise in the offseason, and much more.The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

It's Friday afternoon, which means a fresh episode of Oilersnation Radio is ready to massage your eardrums with an hour of off-season Oilers talk. On today's podcast, the fellas discussed the Oilers' inability to play a full 60 minutes, Calvin Pickard's spot in the lineup, the return of Zach Hyman, line combos, and much more.We kicked off the Friday episode of ONR with a delicious debate about the Oilers' goaltending situation, and specifically, whether Calvin Pickard is going to be around as the backup for the rest of the year. While there's no doubt the skaters in front of the goalies need to be better, it's hard to argue that the goalies don't need to make more saves. Shifting gears, we looked at the Oilers' disappointing loss last night in Columbus despite a valiant attempt at a second straight comeback against the Blue Jackets. Unfortunately, the hole the Oilers dug was too deep and the push for the tie was too little too late. We also looked at the Oilers placing Troy Stecher on waivers in addition to sending Isaac Howard down to the Bakersfield Condors. Best move for the team? What about for the players?Finally, we wrapped up the Friday episode of ONR with another round of Ask the Idiots, betting talk for our friends at bet365, and Hot and Cold Performers to look back on the week. With the 2025-26 season well underway, the guys spent the bulk of the Friday episode discussing a range of topics, some related to the Oilers and others not, but that's what happens when the team is playing as poorly as they are right now.SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!Powered by @bet365.

Alberga, Hahn and Meaney take fan questions around the NHL and discuss the impact of Auston Matthews' injury situation and what to do with other injured players like Valeri Nichushkin, Anthony Stolarz, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Thatcher Demko and Frederik Andersen. Other topics include the upcoming return of Zach Hyman for the Edmonton Oilers, other stashing strategies, buy-low trade ideas and questions about JJ Peterka, the Boston Bruins, Minnesota Wild and more. Then, in "On the Money," presented by Bet365.ca, former NHL goalie Carter Hutton of Daily Faceoff joins to talk division title contenders, NHL Awards races and the biggest storylines around the one-quarter mark of the season. The crew then gives some sides and props for the rest of the week and previews the NHL Global Series in Sweden between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators on Friday and Sunday.

Shane Pinto’s 4 X $7.5M extension in Ottawa earns praise as a fair, forward-looking deal for a rising centre and potential Team USA Olympian, even as the cap climbs toward $100M. In Toronto, the visiting Kings face a battered Leafs squad missing Anthony Stolarz and Auston Matthews, big voids for a team whose defensive commitment is again under scrutiny after back-to-back losses to Boston. Edmonton has rebounded with two OT wins—both courtesy of Jack Roslovic—though the play hasn’t looked right and the Oilers eagerly await Zach Hyman’s return. Boston’s surprising seven-game heater continues behind Pastrnak and an unexpected scoring surge from Morgan Geekie, while New Jersey rookie Simon Nemec stole headlines with a hat trick in a back-and-forth win over Chicago. Team Canada Olympic chatter centres on whether youngsters Bedard and Celebrini can both fit at the expense of veterans, weighing their experience against limited roles on the big stage. The Rangers erupted for a 7–3 win over Tampa as Vincent Trochek returned and a freshly shorn Artemi Panarin added four assists, though their bizarre home-ice struggles persist. The hockey world also mourns the passing of longtime Rangers writer Larry Brooks after a brief battle with cancer. Plus, Ask Ray & Dregs Anything!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode of The Oil Stream, the fellas break down another frustrating loss for the Edmonton Oilers. Why does this team keep blowing leads?

On this episode, the guys break down the scrutiny in Edmonton over McDavid and Draisaitl having a rough night playing on the same line, why it’s not time to panic yet and where the team’s forward depth still looks thin without Zach Hyman. They touch on the lack of contract extensions for Edmonton’s Chris Knoblauch and Calgary’s Ryan Huska and whether Vancouver’s new coach Adam Foote brings a fresh perspective or a continuation of the Tocchet regime. The Senators look poised for another playoff run under Steve Staios and Josh Green after slashing 47 goals against last year, though the next step needs to be boosting their offence. Then, Vancouver Canucks new bench boss Adam Foote joins the show to talk about settling into his new role, his belief of what Quinn Hughes' future with the team is, Demko’s return to health, Pettersson’s offseason work, and why Vancouver believes it has the pieces to close last season’s playoff gap.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
