It’s simple. He needs to start putting pucks in the net. More notably, he needs to get more that 1 sog per game.

Maybe if his coach wouldn't give him the matchups the opposition would like to have against him................
Man....I'm gonna try and be nice here....but also....i can't help but express how i feel....
Bedard's recent comments...and just his overall body language during this slump....I'm just not liking this at all. Its a major red flag IMO. I mean.....has this kid never had to face any shred of adversity before in his time as a hockey player? He seems so hopeless...as if he's lost all his confidence and doesn't know what to do now. Its just like....dude....are you really this soft? A little bit of adversity hits and now all of a sudden you're a wreck mentally and can't seem to shake it off? Like i get it....ur coach sucks, the team sucks, but man.....you need to forget about that stuff and worry about what you can control. You have SUPREME talent....focus on your game, remain confident, understand the process, and get to work. Work as hard as you ever have in your life on ur craft, and ignore the noise. I know he's still a kid, very young and its easier to sit there as an adult and act like he should be tougher than this.....but idk....I'm just very taken back by his recent behavior combined with what he's been saying lately. Sounds like he's MISERABLE. Sounds as if he's lost all hope. Its very concerning. You gotta be tougher mentally than this. Hopefully he grows out of it or else we may have a big problem moving forward. Another thing to consider is how things will snowball through the media and what not as soon as word gets out that you're depressed/sad/miserable/dejected/lost all confidence. Not exactly the kind of attitude that's gonna keep distractions away. If anything the pressure is only going to double.

He was in better spirits than I expected after a piss poor ending to that homecoming game in Van when he was interviewed on after hours for HNIC. He should be fine.
Kid is on an Island. They put a terrible team around him in Regina too. Kid hasn’t really gotten any help around him at all other than playing for Canada in WJC/WC
I’ve honestly been surprised at how well Bedard has handled this slump with so much maturity and poise considering he age and pressure on him.
Side note: I 100% guarantee that he scores today.
