C Connor Bedard - Regina Pats, WHL (2023 Draft) Part 5

[Bombshell11]

Did you serious just say why would age matter? Serious question... are you new to hockey?

Do you not understand how 99% of players progress more with age, especially in junior? Can you explain to me why the guy you're talking about only had 8pts the same age as Bedard, yet 70G at 20 years old?

Ok man, im not going to go on tagents any more, i made my points about Leo over Bedard, really i have nothing else to add and i feel my posts are hi-jacking this thread's purpose.

Everyone has an opinion..........

Tonight’s game is on TSN, so I decided to watch the first period. I try to be fair with my critiques, so I’ll just say that was a rough period for Bedard. The goal was great, but he had a ton of bad giveaways. He looked off. Maybe it’s the pressure of the packed house in a larger arena.

Yeah too many bad giveaways but man that shot, how does he get so much torque on it?

It's an amazing thing to behold.

 

[Rengorlex]

I think his wrist/snap shot is on a level above even Matthews. Haven't really seen much of a one-timer from him though.

 

[FDBluth]

disgusting shot

I have a theory, a recent TSN video made me think about it.

 

[Fraser28]

Bedard is fanning on most of his shots this game. It’s a little awkward to watch.

Let's hear it.

I guess it's just plain practice really, he's kind of fanatical about it.

He broke his wrist when he was younger. He spent weeks practising shooting one handed with his left hand. I think that strength added to his top hand, and essentially he takes wrist shots with two hand strength.

 

[FDBluth]

I think he's trying a little too hard. Based on this game his team is terrrible

Part of it is his body type too I think. He has the exact same body type as Brett Hull

 

[Andy Dufresne]

Calgary has 35 shots half way through the game lol

 

[wetcoast]

No i really believe Carlsson is going to have the better career

Man I really like Carlsson but that's a huge stretch you are making here.

 

[Bubbles]

Pats offensive depth other than the top line is just garbage. Thought Oremba would help but he's been a flop since the trade.

They also gave up a ton for Oremba so it's a double down negative thing IMO.

Fat?

 

[SlafySZN]

But can he score a goal like Leo did at 1:33 in his own highlights?

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

The Pats are truly awful. Can’t believe they weren’t able to put together a semi competent team around Bedard

Very few assets to trade since they went on 2 runs back in 2017 and 2018 and depleted the cupboards.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Bedard needed to roof it there

Edit: guess he got it? Haha

It’s just unfortunate, I don’t think I’ve seen a prospect of this caliber have such a poor supporting cast around him

They credited the goal to Whitehead.

No idea how that was conclusive, Hitmen got jobbed.

I actually agree with you, they didn’t show any angles where it looked clear
