Zach Hyman has six goals over his last five games and is rolling with Connor McDavid. Was it a mistake leaving Hyman off of Team Canada? Is McDavid doing something different during his surge in production? Ryan Rishaug joins Gino Reda to weigh in on this, Edmonton’s back-to-back shutouts and more.

No. There are better players than Hyman who were left off the team.
I think that Zach Hyman is only as good as Connor makes him. So unless Zach is going to be playing on Connor's wing during the Olympics, he has no business being on the team.
Zach Hyman is a good player, but there are so many better players at Team Canada's disposal. He shouldn't even have his name mentioned when it comes to the Olympic team.
If we're honest McDavid was not his usual dominant self during 4 nations. If not for the series clinching GWG, there would have been a lot of questions about the coaches not being able to find linemates to gel with him over a short tournament. Hyman solves that problem quick. 17 goals in 19 games doesn't hurt either
