“As journalists we need to be better at telling stories and sharing the facts”
*proceeds to admit he only knows Hyman’s story and that’s why he singled him out*
Sounds like we need to hold sports “reporters” and journalists in general to a much higher standard, right Andrew?
Turbulent_Cheetah
The argument about why not talk about the sons of former players doesn’t work when those players are generally assumed to be genetically gifted and “destined” for the league, while Hyman is always credited for his hard work above everything.
PapaAsmodeus
And can I just say something else? If the reason Hyman scored 50 goals is because of his wealth and his family’s wealth, then why isn’t every other player having the same success? His father might be super rich, but even still, money didn’t get that work ethic out of him, Hyman himself did.

ELI5 wtf happened?
Ty, Get it now, closeted anti Semitism and general douchebaggery.
Future-delayed
I agree with one of the commenters, he said something stupid and shitty, then when called out, said even stupider and shittier things.
He’s Rasputin-ing himself. Poison, shot, drowned… keep it coming man smh
CurlingTrousers
The MO of the asshole. I’m 100% right, and if you disagree, it’s your character flaw for reasons I can’t articulate. At best, he will only settle on a “yeah, but still” argument. This irrelevant, waddling chins transporter sweat hog swung for something in a specific political climate and doesn’t want to eat the blowback.
Dickheads incapable of learning or evolving never apologize.

Him trying to act all holier-than-thou with other media members is hilarious when you consider his career has tanked and he’s been stuck writing betting articles since SDPN let him go in January.

Edm_vanhalen1981
In all seriousness, he has a decent story, but was too stupid and too consumed with personal attacks, to really research and present his thoughts in a coherent manner.
The thesis could have been; economics and their affects on success in professional hockey.
kentuckyfriedchocobo
He’s disgusting and shouldn’t even have a platform to spread his clearly antisemitic hate.
Literally all the kids of former NHL players have advantages, he doesn’t say a word.
A Jew gets 50 goals for the first time – MONEY MONEY MONEY PRIVILEGE PRIVILEGE

You can correct him once in case he’s just wildly ignorant but after that he’s on his own, idk what the point in engaging with him further is.

Flashy_Ferret_1819
Hyman has a better work ethic, more heart, and more drive than 99% of NHLers. THAT is why he is successful. Hockey is a rich person’s sport, no doubt, but he isn’t buying his goals.
His massive production jump is because he almost perfectly compliments the best player in the game, which is hardly a knock or criticism. It isn’t because he came from money. I imagine a large percentage of professional hockey players come from well above average families financially.
Striking_Economy5049
The fact the guy doesn’t know that pretty much every kid who makes the NHL these days comes from a middle class life or higher, should disqualify him from reporting on the sport.
I’m not saying it’s right, and there should be more programs, like football, where kids can lease equipment for a season to be able to play, but tarnishing Hyman’s accomplishments simply because of where he comes from is dogshit.

He’s probably just a salty Leafs fan.

It’s obvious that this guy is a moron and he’s not going to understand the flaw of how he went about making his point. It’s probably best to ignore the doofus and not listen to anything he’s associated with. It’s like arguing with a brick wall, a complete waste of time.

I like the comment further down saying that Sam Reinhart scored his 50th goal the same night (?) and is the son of a successful NHL player himself, but not a peep.
Hockey is absolutely exclusionary. Zach Hyman is not the face of this exclusion.

As a flames fan it’s honestly stunning that the point is smacking him in the face and he still refuses to acknowledge it lol
IMO any nepo-privelege advantage you get that helps you make it to the NHL stops there, to accomplish a great and uncommon achievement like 50 goals among a class of mostly equal footed individuals as far as privilege is only done with hard work. Good for Zach, he’s a class act who deserves credit and Andrew can get bent
Radu47
Really telling when a very analytically oriented guy focuses on demographic elements when:
– Hyman mostly scored 50 due to shooting 6% above average and McDavid going into Joe Thornton 2006 mode
Any Corsi nerd like myself would focus on that, but apparently some want to get nasty
Also that like as someone skeptical of the hard work element Hyman clearly is one of the best examples of it, he definitely squeezes every last bit out of his skillset
Ugly ugly saga

Here is what I think, maybe zaks fam was rich and helped him on his way sure. All us poor peasants would do the same for our child maybe couldn’t buy a league or whatever but God damn we would do the best we could for our child. So zaks family did that maybe to help him maybe just cus they felt like it. Point is hyman is a great guy and he was obviously raised to be a model to the young people and community. He’s a stand up guy. Alot of rich families have piece of shit entitled children with maids raising them. Hyman family raised a fucking legend on and off the ice. And fuck the d bag who thinks otherwise
N-A-K-Y
What gets me is his argument is basically that money makes life easier. Cool. You need a lot of money to become a doctor, yet many come from poorer families who worked hard and sacrificed lots so their kid could become a doctor. Does the rich kid who also became a doctor suddenly mean nothing? Both had to work hard, study hard and get it done. Engineers? Lawyers? Hell, even any regular university degree these days involves crippling debt these days. Even trades have long apprenticeship stages with lower pay and some even require you invest thousands in your own tools just to have that job.
Literally everything costs money and takes money to get to the end result, but how good you are at that end result is always up to the individual regardless of their background. You can’t buy being a surgeon. You can’t buy being a good engineer, you can’t buy being a good tradesman. You also can’t buy your way into being drafted into the NHL, making an NHL roster and scoring 50 fuckin goals.
So. The issue here is that some have it easier and others don’t? Boy, that’s life ain’t it. Let’s not dismiss the incredible hard work everyone still has to do to become the thing they’re working towards. Hyman was born into money, he can’t change that, but he earned everything he has accomplished so far. Just like everyone else successful has to. Andrew wants to make this out like Hyman and other NHL players are a bunch of nepo babies being given their position and opportunities because their dad’s a hedge fund manager and it’s sick. Anyone who agrees with him is also sick. It may have made the road there a little easier but it wasn’t ever handed to them. Kay, I’m off my soapbox now.

I’d happily bet my life savings he’s targeting Hyman because he’s Jewish.
