Forsberg made 10p against Japan. That sure helpt.
How many games has he to do it? Is it 7 as well?
Thats 6p/game. Then no.

No. The worst teams like Austria and Latvia are much better nowadays. Normally you wouldn’t expect someone to feast on those teams anymore. He would probably need a 8 point game or something to beat the record.

Will Bedard get 31 points or more in at most 7 games? No.

In normal circumstances a player good enough to challenge that record will be in the NHL and not at the tournament.

Thank you for actually saying what Forsberg got. My answer was no before I knew and is still no now. Put another way the czechs have a better shot at gold then Bedard does at 32 points. Both can happen but I'm not betting on it.

I recall the totalpoint record was 40 p, and the one tourment p, was 28. So that makes 4p/game. He must rrally fiest on the two lowest competitors, like 6p games, then having 16p in three groupgames, semifinal, and final- 5 game. 3p/game. Well, he sure must be hungry for it to break it. I can see he could score like 12 goals, but then he must add 16 assists. Thats unreal production. He must score in every other shift.
 
Are you talking about the 31 pts in the '93 tournament when Forsberg was 19 year old? And you seriously think a 17 year old Bedard has a shot at those point totals? You can forget that. No chance. Zero. Absolute zero. If he gets 12 15 pts that would be the most we can expect and best forward of the tournament territory.

I do think 15 is reasonble. I'm not even 100 percent he leads Canada in scoring though.. this isn't a one man show for Canada! Lots of horses on that team.

Maybe! but he played with this group before at the U18. and the only Canadian better than him was Shane Wright. Just my humble opinion, but Bedard was the best forward that tournament. Bedard is not one to defer to older players....he's not like McDavid or Crosby in that respect. He has a I don't care who you are I'm here to score goals kind of approach. My over/under 15. and I'll take the over.

You are right it is a big no but also Foppa wouldn't in his draft year either.

People forget that the Foppa record came in his D+2 year as he stayed in Sweden to play for the Olympics.

Yeah in normal circumstances Forsberg wouldn't have been at the WJC at his age. Since him, only Malkin and Ovechkin are players of that calibre who played the tournament as 19 year olds and lockouts/nationality made that happen as well.

Just wow at the unrealistic pressure mounting on this poor kid by fans and the TSN hype machine.

I mean come on man; McDavid had 11 points, Tavares had 15 points and Crosby had 9 points.

The all-time record for a 17-year-old is 18 points, by Jaromir Jagr in 1990.

Exactly. Assuming Canada play 7 games, I’d say anything in the 10+ point range would be a good performance, and if he could tie Tavares’ 15 points that’d outstanding. 31 is insane, of course he’s not getting anywhere remotely close to that.

It is funny how Canadians downplay this incredible record. Give it props for scoring 31p in 7 games, it is an amazing feat.

Other than pointing out he was 19 and should have been in the NHL, nobody is downplaying that record. I watched that tournament, and I know how dominant he was.

Also worth noting, yes, Japan helped inflate his stats, but that was in the days of the round robin, so EVERYBODY had a chance to run it up on them. The Czechs scored 14, Russia scored 16, and the US scored 12.

Canada showed some mercy, scoring only 8. Such a polite nation. :sarcasm:
