Congrats from your 1st career goal Connor.
Other than that, still not impressed of his game, nothing special yet,
sure he is only 18 years old and played just 2 games.
Would want to see him score a goal with an actual shot on goal thou,
Nothing away from his 1st NHL goal but, everyone who knows about
hockey, more than just basics, knows the wraparound goal is,.. how would i put it,
the least of goals, its a goal where its 100% always on goalie
and its the worst goal goalie can give and is the most hated
goal by goalies to give, even more what five-hole.
Its always on you, you've made an huge positional error
by either overplaying, or poor read of the play,
because that's the only way wraparound goal can go in;
via goalie mistake.
We call that goal here in Finland as "vanhanaikanen"
which means, very embarrassing.
About his shot :
His shot is the the most unique and strangest i have ever seen,
its even more bizarre what Podkolzin's shot.
Its just starts so super low, with a super strange movement back of him..
dead give away for the goalies though, pretty easy for goalies (pro goalies)
to read his shot and his time of shot.

My Game #2 grade : C+
Outside of his goal, nothing much mentioning about,
- my highlight, what i remember best of his game
were his awkward first career penalty,
(tried to hit a player, but missed and his leg tripps
his opponent) and his poor pass from a 2 on 1 breakaway,
where his pass was too weak and poorly timed to
Korchinski, his shot failed because of that, it was
a knuckleball puck and difficult to handle.
His skating is his best business, he skates really well
and can carry the puck really well while skating, though
like happened several times, he lost the puck too easily,
due to his size (i think he is smaller what Marchand even, after one shift in the 1st
Marchand was trying his antics on Bedard, they were very close to each other,
Marchard was a tad taller) and having an 18 year old body to go with it,
or made a bad choice, in one he made a deke and tried a quick shot
but before he was able to make that shot, he was pick pocketed
by a Bruins player. - he does get lots of pucks to the net, that's a good thing
He didn't get hit as much he did what in game #1, but he did
got knocked down still relatively a lot.
His passing i think wasn't as good what in game #2 and his face-offs
are still an issue, although he was much better in game #2 what in
game #1, winning just 8 face-offs through 2 games, while getting
tons of minutes, is no bueno. They have limited his face-offs in both games though.
----
Talking about his ice-time, holy moly Hawks use him a lot!,
his ice time is even higher what CMD's was in his rookie season,
he has gotten about 22 minutes per game, for a forward that's crazy,
18 year old rookie?, nuts.. too much if you ask me.
11 shots on goal, more than twice shot attempts,
through 2 games is a lot.
I like his effort a lot, like i said previously, but still very young
and obviously not a ready pro player, much to learn and getting better
pro player to do, the skill is obvious, he didn't score those goals and points
from out of nothing as a junior, but time will tell what kind of pro career Mr. Bedard will have.

I really appreciate how much effort you put into showing just how off base you are here. Guy who has a point in every NHL game he’s played and looked extremely dangerous tonight “obviously isn’t a pro ready player”? Take a lap.
Bedard is going to live up to the hype and more. Think we will see a player who seems to get better every single game as he reacts and adjusts to playing in the pros, with a big finish to the year to show for it.
You're funny.

truly one of the great epic poems I've read since Homer himself.

If he’s not pro ready then nobody in Chicago is either, once again like in the Pittsburgh game thought he was their best player. Early turnover and a couple over handles on 1v1s, but apart that was very good. Had a nice back check turnover on Marchand which resulted in a chance the other way, his in zone défense positioning needs work but his ability to disrupt transition attacks is something I didn’t remark in Junior and he has done well so far
I’m sorry, but I lost far too many brain cells reading your analysis. Truly awful.

I think is bedard is close to a ppg at the halfway mark, you should see a gradual improvement in the second half. Once he gets a feel for the nhl game a bit better, he will be a force.
Crazy to think that he'll follow in his great-great uncle's footsteps and only play 22 games.

Hey man,
Just wanted to say, do not listen to the drunks in here, all they do is drink beer shit on the first post they come accross.
You're obviously a man with deep culture and your standards are much higher than here.
I 100% agree with you. Let the McDonalds eaters have their little moment of joy.

Imagine having higher standards
When you're strive for excellence you bound to be more critical
No we don’t shit on the first post we come across. We shit on the posts that are awful. I’m happy for you that you can bond with that other poster over your shared bad opinion.
Clean the crud out of your eyes. Bedard was the most dangerous player for either team last night.

I don't think you read the post though, all he's saying is that he wants to see Bedard score with his shot.
How's that a bad opinion?

Difference is you’re a rather comedic troll, he (as far as I can tell) believes what he is writing
Welcome to 2023. Offended and hurt from opinion! lol

Because it just reeks of looking for something to criticize. It's been 2 games. He'll be better in game 20, just as he'll be better in year 2, just as he'll be better in year 5 (like all NHL stars are).
But that fact that these 2 games are his starting point is pretty scary, although not unexpected, and I say this as a fan of a team in Chicago's division, so him being underwhelming would actually be good for my team. I just don't see that.
