The excessive fawning over Bedard makes the game less enjoyable, I'm not even sure they ballwashed McDavid this much. How they are choosing to cover Bedard needs to stop. Leave him alone.

ESPN is going to promote the sport the only way they know how; by making it all about the individual star player(s).
They’ll hitch their wagon to Bedard and McDavid.
It won’t work. The ratings will continue to be what they are. This league will never be on par with the NFL or NBA when it comes to eyeballs watching TV screens nationally.

Chi with an interesting pp1 that includes former Bruins Hall and Donato, then Corey Perry, and Bedard.

It is definitely weird hearing "Is he the next kid?" when McDavid has been in the NHL for 8 years. The next "kid" has already been here.
They need to spread the hype. The Tkachuk brothers should be getting way more notice in my opinion. They have the type of personality that can grow the sport outside the old fuddy duddy mentality most hockey fans have.

We live in a society where it’s all about the “next” thing.
The newest iPhone even though the one you have basically does the same thing.
A new TV with a thinner screen.
Trade in your car for a new one.
Gotta get the new NHL jersey with the shiny shield at the neckline.
The media and fans need to let him just be himself. This need to compare players and immediately pit them against each other is a real turn off. I hope Fliggy is able to help Bedard navigate things this season.

Reilly Smith on the Penguins? Damn, Penguins seem stacked this year. Whoever owns the Penguins must spend a lot on their teams. Let me go and check it out.... Oh
They scavenged the waiver wire to complete their team, they suck and so do the owners
I hope the Hawks get there money's worth out that stiff Foligno, thank christ he's gone

With the way this night is going, we're gonna tune into tomorrows game and see that Bergeron now plays for the Hawks as well.

Bedard drags and shoots close to his body and they act like it's something no one has ever done before lol

Hopefully Bedard scores tonight because if he doesn’t you know he will tomorrow

Sucks he was a cap casualty. I really like him.
Glad Foligno is in a Hawks sweater. He tries as hard as he can but he can’t create anything offensively .
