The Edmonton Oilers have one of the best fan environments in the NHL, but Zach Hyman was asked to address one of the sore spots - constant fan fighting outside Rogers Place.
The construction of the Moss Pit and Ice District at large have been incredible for fans to gather and watch playoff games, and has been expanded even more this year, but it also produces some fights that people love to gawk at.
Zach Hyman addresses most controversial aspect of Oilers playoff watch party
When on the Spittin Chiclets Podcast recently, Zach Hyman was asked if the Oilers players were aware of the fights in the Moss Pit and how they felt about it. Hyman slyly admitted they're aware of it, but instead focused his answer on the best of Moss Pit instead.
Yeah, we've seen it. It's wild. Only in this city. You know, I think that's another great thing about these playoff runs, is it just shows - Edmonton at this time of year is beautiful.
It's an amazing city, and I think people don't really know about it. It's pretty hidden, like when I was signing here, everyone was like 'oh, it's really cold and not much to do', but man like, the fans are unbelievable here, the city's unbelievable, the food here is great. It's an amazing place to raise a family.
I can't say enough good things about the city and the people. So if you want to come to watch the best hockey, there's no better place.

Every Oilers fan and Edmontonian has seen the trouble that some young kids can cause in the Moss Pit, and it is something that only happens here because of the uncontrollable passion of fans. However, it was touching to see Hyman instead take the chance to show the best side of Edmonton.
Being back in the Stanley Cup Final again, Edmonto is showing themselves off to the rest of the NHL and the world. Hyman's showing his true colours by stepping up to make the moment a showcase of the best of Edmonton, not the fights.
It's hurting that he can't participate in any of this year's finals, but the Oilers are incredibly fortunate to have a player like Zach Hyman in their locker room.
