C Connor Bedard - Regina Pats, WHL (2023 Draft) Part 2

[smokes lets go]

Just sniped his 2nd of the game. Gonna give matthews a run for his money sooner than later with that release.

 

[prongertheman9]

wow

 

[lucaseider]

That shot is just crazy stupid good for a 15 year old.

 

[Dominance]

It’s not right that a 15 year old his size can shoot like this.

 

[Ed Ned and Leddy]

Shit man, this kid isn't old enough to drive and his wrist shot looks pro-ready. Impressive stuff.

 

[Bubbles]

It’s not right that a 15 year old his size can shoot like this.

Kid's getting better game by game. Shift by shift even.

 

[peconcan]

Kids shot is like 34s... So good going to score a lot of goals for sure

 

[peconcan]

I bet he gets the hat trick on this PP

 

[snipes]

2nd of the game. Hands down the best player on the ice. Playing his best games in the elimination rounds. What a fantastic game for him, he’s several other chances he could have scored on. Just drew a penalty now attacking the net.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Hattrick goal

 

[Dominance]

Hat trick. Kid’s been by FAR Canada’s best player today.

 

[lucaseider]

and now a trick

 

[snipes]

Hat trick for Bedard, where are those guys who were shitting on him pumping Michkov’s tires?

What a performance.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

All of this at 15.

Ridiculous talent.

2nd of the game. Hands down the best player on the ice. Playing his best games in the elimination rounds. What a fantastic game for him, he’s several other chances he could have scored on. Just drew a penalty now attacking the net.

And other than the hattrick goal, all of his points in the last 2 games have been when the game is still up for grabs - not much garbage time stat padding.

 

[Boonk]

Having Bedard and Wright on the same team at this level is borderline cheating. Bedard is phenomenal, a superstar in the making.

 

[snipes]

 

[Bubbles]

Crazy idea, but should Canada take Bedard and Wright to the World Championships?

 

[Beukeboom]

Amazing talent!

Props to the "Child prodigy" thread on these boards. Someone mentioned him there something like three years ago, and I've been stat-watching ever since. Really cool to see him "live" in this tournament.

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Crazy idea, but should Canada take Bedard and Wright to the World Championships?

He's 15....

 

[Eye of Ra]

Sweden is terrible. dont take what he did in this game too serious.

 

[prongertheman9]

Sweden is terrible. dont take what he did in this game too serious.

I thought Sweden looked like a real threat in the first couple periods before Bedard broke their will on his second goal.

 

[Canuck Luck]

Sweden is terrible. dont take what he did in this game too serious.

This sarcasm?

I know nothing about this kid - nor Shane Wright. But I've been hearing a lot about them lately, and trying to get a sense of what they project to be

What category of prospects are either/or of them? Are either of them looking like a McDavid/Crosby level? Both? Better? Not quite as high?

Curious what people think.
