Not only can he score a lot of goals, the Edmonton Oilers forward is great at giving thoughtful answers to questions. A great example of that was after last night's 5-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
Hyman scored his 50th goal of the season yesterday on the power play. Immediately after scoring, he was mobbed by his teammates.

He is clearly a popular player in the dressing room - as everyone expressed a palpable amount of excitement for the hard working forward. In honor of his achievement, Gene Principe interviewed him after the game for some of his thoughts on the milestone.
Hyman was asked about being someone who embodies hard work and perseverance. He had an incredibly insightful response, "you do good things every day [and] good things are going to happen."
"Hockey and life is a roller coaster - there's ups and downs - but if you stick with it and always are positive, things tend to go your way."
So far this season with - 50 goals scored and the Oilers in a playoff position - things certainly seem to be going Hyman's way. You can only imagine all of the hard work that has gone on behind the scenes for him to get to this point.
