Analyst Gets Blasted For Awful Take on Zach Hyman's 50 goals

A brutal take is being rightfully ripped apart after an analyst indicated that Zach Hyman reaching 50 goals in a season was made easier because he comes from money.

Andrew Berkshire, a longtime hockey analyst, writer and online presence, took to all of his accounts with a video on Zach Hyman of the Edmonton Oilers reaching 50 goals for the first time ever in his career at the age of 31. Berkshire's rant, in which he says he has a responsibility to tell the truth as a member of the media, congratulates Hyman for reaching 50 through hard work, but there are several buts peppered throughout where Berkshire insists that Hyman's journey was made far easier than it would have been for many because he comes from a very wealthy background.


There are a handful who agree with the take, but it seems the vast majority of his colleagues, or others involved in the hockey world, do not. Ryan Whitney was very sarcastic in his response.








Andrew Berkshire's take on the matter being right or wrong is entirely a matter of opinion. My own is that it comes across as petty and bitter. It's no secret that hockey can be hard to get into at a young age because it's likely the most expensive when it comes to equipment and getting places to play. However, I don't believe any current or former teammates of Hyman would say he doesn't work incredibly hard, and isn't grateful and humbled by what he's accomplished.
