Podcast appearances and mentions of Zach Hyman

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. All that and everything in between on today's Oil Stream!   The Oil Stream is presented by Boston Pizza!

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.

Tyler is flying solo on today's episode of Oilersnation Everyday and will break down last night's 5–4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in Ohio. It was the second half of a back-to-back and the Oilers' third game in four nights, and it showed early — Edmonton started slow, flat, and lifeless before mounting a late push in the third period. They came inches away from tying the game in the final minute but ultimately fell short.Calvin Pickard had another tough outing, allowing five goals, while Matthew Savoie delivered a breakout performance and even earned a promotion to the top line alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Tyler will go through the full game recap, assess the current state of the Oilers' goaltending situation, and discuss the potential return of Zach Hyman on Saturday — and what his presence could mean for the lineup.We'll also take a look at what's trending around the sports world, give out our NFL betting picks for the upcoming weekend, and finish the show with a conversation with Oilersnation writer Caprice St. Pierre to get her perspective on the goaltending battle and how this team looks 19 games into the season.Website: https://oilersnation.com/ https://twitter.com/OilersNation/ https://www.youtube.com/@Oilersnationdotcom/ https://www.facebook.com/OilersNation/https://www.instagram.com/oilersnationdotcomhttps://www.tiktok.com/@oilersnation SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!!

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.

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.

It was a tough night at Rogers Place for the Edmonton Oilers, who blew a two-goal lead and fell 4–3 in overtime to the New York Rangers. After a strong second period, the Oilers collapsed late, allowing three unanswered goals in the third and OT.

Darren Dreger was the first guest on today's show. He first shared whether or not he thinks he could tackle 9 beers & 9 hot dogs in 9 innings. It was Oilers talk after that. He gave his thoughts on last night's loss, touched on how much the Oilers miss Zach Hyman and shared his thoughts on all the line shuffling going on. It was then time for the Play Alberta Early Bird Bet of the day. After the break, it was time for MMMMMM That's Good presented by The Italian Centre Shop.

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.

Ellin Bessner will return next week. Today, we're bringing you the latest episode of Menschwarmers, The CJN's Jewish sports podcast. Subscribe to Menschwarmers here. In July, the New York Yankees drafted a Canadian shortstop from Wyoming, Ont., named Core Jackson. They did so despite knowing that Jackson, as a 17-year-old freshman at the University of Nebraska, had drawn a swastika on a Jewish student's dorm room while he was, he later told The Athletic, "blackout drunk." But this isn't a run-of-the-mill case of antisemitism. By all accounts, according to the Yankees' ground scouts and the recent investigation by The Athletic that ran Aug. 20, Jackson was, simply, acting like an ignorant drunk teenager, and was forthright about the incident with teams before the draft. The team did significant due diligence, engaging with New York's Jewish community and sending scouts to learn about Jackson's family and personality. The resulting story is less about the insipid rise of casual antisemitism, and more about the power of forgiveness when people—especially teenagers—make mistakes and try to do better. Keith Law, a longtime baseball journalist and former front office worker with the Toronto Blue Jays, broke this story for The Athletic. He joins us to share his impressions of Core Jackson and how the Yankees are viewing this opportunity. After that, podcast hosts Gabe and Jamie run through this year's hottest Jewish sports movies, from Happy Gilmore 2 to both Safdie brothers' award-season offerings, The Smashing Machine and Marty Supreme. Then they give a quick NFL preview and recap Zach Hyman's ceremonial opening of the new ice hockey rink at the Schwartz/Reisman Jewish Community Centre in Vaughan.

Join Jim Tatti and Dave Feschuk for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys dive into the Maple Leafs trade targets on the roster, Matias Maccelli's introduction in Toronto, Zach Hyman's injury timeline with the Oilers and the Blue Jays sweeping the Angels to mark eight consecutive wins. TSN Hockey Analyst Martin Biron joins to dive into Anthony Stolarz's contract trajectory, Bowen Byram going to arbitration with the Sabres and Connor McDavid's possible deal with the Oilers.

The Oilers fell to the Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year, with Florida delivering near-perfect performances in Games 5 and 6 and showing superior depth, structure, and goaltending throughout the series. Injuries mounted on both sides, but Florida’s culture and cohesion carried them through, while Edmonton struggled without Zach Hyman and leaned too heavily on McDavid and Draisaitl, who couldn’t singlehandedly turn the tide. Sam Bennett earned the Conn Smythe with a historic playoff performance, and GM Bill Zito now faces the challenge of re-signing Bennett, Marchand, and Ekblad. Meanwhile, the Oilers enter a pivotal offseason with key extension talks looming for McDavid and Bouchard, major cap questions, and ongoing uncertainty in goal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee discuss the Florida Panthers' Game 6 victory over the Edmonton Oilers to claim the Stanley Cup for a second straight season. They get into the Panthers' dynastic performance, McDavid and Draisaitl's flat finish to the series, the Oilers' depth's fall-off, the impact of Zach Hyman's absence, Stuart Skinner's rough game, what an Evan Bouchard extension would cost and Sam Reinhart's 4-goal effort. Later, they discuss Sam Bennett's future after winning the Conn Smyth and Florida's plan for their other expiring UFAs in Aaron Ekblad and Brad Marchand.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.

The Oilers dropped Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final after a flat start and near-flawless performance from the Panthers, whose depth continues to shine, as each of their top 9 forwards now have 15 or more playoff points. Florida's relentless structure and experience, led by Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett, overwhelmed Edmonton, who sorely missed injured Zach Hyman. Evander Kane and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins struggled, and Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl still haven’t found their top gear in this series. The Oilers’ defensive pairings look fatigued, and goaltending remains a question heading into an elimination Game 6. The pressure is squarely on Edmonton's stars to respond or face another long offseason without a championship.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan and Shawn are joined by Sportsnet reporter Gene Principe, who has the pulse of the Edmonton Oilers, to discuss the adjustments needed for Game 4, the status of Stuart Skinner and potential lineup changes that Kris Knoblauch may be considering. He also talks about Zach Hyman's absence and why the loss of Hyman shouldn't be overlooked during this series against the Florida Panthers. The guys open the episode looking ahead to Game 4 and wondering how the Oilers can get back to their game. Is Sam Bennett the Conn Smythe favorite right now? They answer that question and look at the impact that Jonah Gadjovich in Game 3. They wrap the episode talking about the maturity of Gus Forsling, the Chris Kreider trade rumors and TJ Oshie's retirement. 

The Stanley Cup Finals have finally arrived! Nick Kypreos, Justin Bourne and Sam McKee look at the Game-1 injuries before welcoming in Oilers analyst Jason Gregor (5:36).

The Stanley Cup Final rematch between the Panthers and Oilers will begin Wednesday after nearly a week-long layoff, giving players rest but leaving everyone itching to play. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl appear calmer and more mature under the bright lights and the pressure of expectations this playoff season. The Oilers appear confident, despite missing Zach Hyman, while Florida enters the Finals healthy and battle-tested. Goaltending could be pivotal, with Stuart Skinner now facing a crease-crashing Panthers team and Sergei Bobrovsky posing a tougher test for Oilers shooters. Coaching styles also clash: Maurice is philosophical and chatty, Knoblauch quiet and methodical. With deep lineups and playoff experience on both sides, who will the X-Factors be... and what are Ray & Dregs Stanley Cup Final predictions?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TSN Hockey Analyst Cheryl Pounder joined OverDrive to discuss the Oilers looking to advance to the Stanley Cup Final, the importance of the depth in the series for Edmonton, playing without Zach Hyman, the Panthers creating a dynasty, Mitch Marner's future and his possible suitors and more.

The Florida Panthers are headed to their third straight Stanley Cup Final after rallying past Carolina in Game 5, continuing the state of Florida's Eastern Conference dominance. Carter Verhaeghe scored the winner, showcasing the value of patience and great scouting. An awkward handshake moment between coaches Paul Maurice and Rod Brind’Amour sparked debate about who belongs in the post-series tradition. In the West, the Oilers prepare for Game 5 against Dallas with Mattias Ekholm expected to return from injury but Zach Hyman is likely out for the remainder of the playoffs. Evander Kane and Corey Perry could see increased icetime to try and offset the loss of Hyman as they have both impressed so far in these playoffs. 'Tis the season for Conn Smythe chatter, a year with no clear favourite emerging, but McDavid, Bouchard, Barkov, and Tkachuk are all in the mix. Could a goalie surprise?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bill requiring classroom displays of the Ten Commandments in public schools passed the Texas House on Sunday. The 82-46 vote sends the proposal back to the Senate before it goes to Gov. Greg Abbott. In other news, Texas is on the verge of banning the use of nondisclosure agreements to silence sexual abuse survivors after a key House vote Sunday. The ban would prevent NDAs from being used to prevent a survivor of sexual assault, aggravated sexual assault, human trafficking or child sexual abuse from disclosing their abuse to others; a woman turned herself into police Wednesday following a fatal wrong-way crash in South Dallas earlier this month, police said; and the Dallas Stars now find themselves in a 2-1 hole after a 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday. Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman each scored a pair of goals and Oilers goalie Stuart Skinner made 31 saves. It marked the first time the Stars dropped back-to-back playoff games since this matchup against Edmonton last year. Game four of the series will be Tuesday in Edmonton.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
