In a cheerful tone, Zach Hyman shared his appreciation for the support from Toronto Maple Leafs fans as the Edmonton Oilers clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time since 2006, which means Hyman will finally have a shot at a cup.
The Oilers sealed the deal with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Dallas Stars in Game 6 of the Western Conference Final at Rogers Place on Sunday.
Well, I don't know if Toronto is cheering for us. But it's nice to hear Ottawa is. Listen: hockey means so much to Canada and to Canadians, and it has been a long time since a Canadian team has won the cup. It would mean a lot to Canadians whether they're Oilers fans or not, I'm sure, some pride over the Americans.
"I don't know if Toronto is cheering for us." 😅
