OT: Around the NHL: That Bedard kid is okay at hockey

[Sidney the Kidney]

Maybe. But players and coaches don't tank, GMs do.

Fingers crossed Bedard doesn't end up in Philly. Kid's already got a shot that looks like it'd be top-5 in the NHL pretty easily.

Poor kid's going to have to change his name to Bey-dar if he goes to Montreal.

There would be some humor to Florida giving away Bedard for Chiarot.

Honestly, being coached by Marty St. Louis is probably the best outcome for the kid and the NHL. f*** the Habs though.

 

[AlphaMikeFoxtrots]

Thanks, Pens West.

 

[Power Surge]

The Sharks new Jerseys are kinda sick. Plus going with the California Golden Seals as a reverse retro is also sick

Dodged a bullet by not trading the kitchen sink for JT Miller. Dude seems like a full-on schmuck, and now he's got an immovable contract. Way to go, Jimmy! You got yourself a lockerroom problem making $8 million until he's 37! Woo!

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

I can't wait for Torts to ruin Bedard in Philly. (God I hope he doesn't go to f***ing Philly)

Dude's got the speed and elusiveness reminiscent of McDavid and the unreal shot placement/release of Matthews. Not saying he's gonna be as good as either, but he's got the tools to be a legit generational talent.

Can't wait for the NHL coaching woodchipper to destroy his flow and creativity.

Bedard expected to be same level as McDavid?

Matthews/MacKinnon.

His size probably marks him as a winger in the NHL. But honestly he’s probably the same size as Sid.

I think he could be as good as McDavid.

I think he probably is a little easier to control in our locker room.

Who do the Canucks have that isn’t a youngin

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Matthews/MacKinnon.

If his size doesn't hinder him, I think he'll be better than those guys. He's a better playmaker than Matthews but with the same sort of ridiculous shot. He's also got a more cerebral game than Mackinnon.

Just depends how much being 5'9 will hamper his ability to play his game at the next level.

He will eat what DOC ate and grow to 6'4.

Why does DOC just not simply eat Bedard?

 

[Power Surge]

Matthew Barnaby has a podcast on YouTube I've been listening to recently. He brings other players from the 90s era to the show and it's pretty cool to hear the off the ice stories and how the off the ice is different today than back then.

I am down with that but we would need to lock DOC up 1M a year for 8 years first.

Capfriendly says he's on a conditioning loan. He seems to be injured all the time though.

Believe he just came back from the substance abuse program

We've seen what addiction can do to star players. At least those who are old enough to see Stevens.

The Substance Abuse Program is also for mental issues.

Feels like the Sabres make the playoffs. Aside from their games against us they’ve looked so good.

They’ve improved since we played them…If their goaltending holds up, they’ll be there, probably in place of the Pens lol
