Prospect Info: Connor Bedard - 2023 1st - C, Regina

[WarLax]

Imagine worrying about this kid being able to physically compete in the NHL.

Look man, he's only like...Sidney Crosby's size with the same obsession to fitness okay?

You really can't be sure if that will translate the NHL, right?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Bedlam doesn't skip leg day.

Wow this kid is strong View attachment 741172

Man child!

 

[BallardEra]

Hope Bedard rips it up for you guys!

Any idea on who his linemates might be?

One will definitely be Taylor Hall. The other is anybody guess.

Nice. I'm rooting for him to hit 90+ points this season.

Despite nothing being normal about his situation, Bedard is navigating the spotlight as "just some young kid."

Lazerus...

He may be the worst sportswriter in this city since Mariotti.

Yeah, he's really f***ing bad. It would be nice if he no longer covered the Hawks...

 

[Wally1112pac]

I was just about to sub to the athletic but laz writes for them so I think I'll pass. He's not even worth my dollar a month.

 

[Chelios]

The thing with Laz is he is a really good writer. The problem is that a) he knows nothing about hockey, b) he is an insufferable idiot and c) both A and B bleed through into his writing.

A lethal combination.

I’m no Laz defender, but what is the problem with this article that’s making everyone so angry? It’s a typical summer puff-piece.

The entire article is basically about how bad of an interview Bedard is.

So what? I’m sure he is. They all are.

It’s more the tone in which he does it that annoys people.

They’re all bad interviews by design.

The second they show an ounce of personality, the media is all over them criticizing their every action i.e PK Subban

 

[ClydeLee]

Unless you're a goalie, only then can you be a fun interview but even that sometimes gets guys in trouble like Raanta

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Again, I will never understand why Laz haters feel the need to constantly talk about him.

And the default hockey persona is being dull as hell.

I haven't commented on Lazerus in forever but I'll just say, in my opinion, he is an acquired distaste, primarily because he is insufferable.

Same. Big anti -Laz guy here, thought the article was fine

This sounds like a chunk of our posters on HFHawks, myself included.

 

[BRayne]

Guy whose livelihood and general enjoyment of his job is affected by how interesting a hockey player is to interview wishes team's future star player was a more interesting interview. More at 11

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Is it an automatic that he starts as the teams #1C from day one or are they going to ease him in by playing onthe 2nd line for a bit?
