I know Hyman has stone hands but I feel like some people are too hard on him. He does a lot really well. Maybe he's miscast on the first line but I don't believe he deserves so much ire. Really the only players that I think are completely useless are Martin, Bozak and Polak (and maybe Moore). But I've become more forgiving over time.

Hyman is a grinder who's good at generally not taking penalties. He good at stealing the puck which makes him very useful on the pk. On the 4th with Martin they can basically tie up the other team while everyone else gets a breather. He just isn't good at starting or ending plays.

Hyman’s fine, the ire he gets is backlash for all the credit he gets from Babs/media for essentially being on a line with vastly superior players.

Similarly Andersen gets a lot of credit in this market for being a league average goalie that alternates months of AHL-level goaltending.

He's good at getting the puck in the corners. He's not a great passer but he can toss it in front after grinding. I think that's worth something. He's also fast to pucks. I definitely don't think he should be playing top line minutes though.

Like, I know Carrick has faults but Polak is objectively bad at the things that make up the double-standard for him being in the lineup.

He was exactly this bad a year ago and they let him walk for a reason, but 5 games in old man Lou panics and he’s back.

Well hopefully they don't renew Lou's contract. But hope is a lie.

Not sure how Leivo missed that. But the Leafs have been missing tons of chances already this game.
