Final game of this short West Coast/Mountain road trip. 2023 1 OA (CB98) vs 2024 1OA (Celebrini). I think we win this 5-2. Bedard gets 2 points and possibly a goal.

Possible lines?

It's nice knowing that we have some good young talent locked in for the top 9/top 4 next season in Smith, eklund, Celebrini, Graf, and Mukh. Early days but you can see the bones of it all coming together.

The Sharks won and blew up HFboards.

Graf is like a mini-Celebrini. Not the same talent obviously but works really hard in all ends of the ice, can pass, can shoot. I’m especially impressed with his huge development jump. The kid took the summer and came back looking like a different player - could end up being a really important signing for this team.
 
It was fun seeing Bedard spend multiple 90 second shifts completely dominated in the D zone during the first period. He was a complete non factor in the game.

Also it was one of Celebrini’s worst games too.

Giles and Gregor in for Kunin and Sturm seems to be a better fit for what they want out of their 4th line. Definitely a way higher tempo with those two out there.

Yeah, Bedard got totally hosed on that missed penalty, but keeping your temper in check is part of the game.

Was gonna post something similar because I was at the game last night and it looks like these boards self-immolated.

This was my first time seeing Bedard in person. I wasn't impressed. At all. I don't know if he's still nursing an injury or the coaches are telling him to suck to throw games and land the first overall or what but not only was he a non-factor, he looked BAD, like Adam Burish BAD.

i think hes an ideal winger for him personally
 
Good win. I'm happy for Graf. Hopefully this win won't come back and bite us and CHI ends up with Schaefer while we get Misa or worse, a 3rd or 4th OA pick.
