It definitively was a problem in game 1. Not tonight, though. Tonight, they allowed 2 goals and killed off 7 penalties. If there is a concern, it's the PP, tonight, and last game, and every game before that going back 10 years.

I've watched both his games and my assessment remains the same.
Now maybe it'll take him half a season to get into his groove, but right now, I watched both Ovy and Crosby when they entered the league and they were significantly more physically ready than Bédard is right now.
If he can build his frame up to be like Crosby and increase his speed of execution (which he will), then he'll be a heck of a lot better. But I still stand that he's not quite ready for the rigours of the NHL. Year 2 is where I think he'll start to get into his own.

Because are #1 and #5 picks are nothing to be very excited about. And give very little hope that next top 5 will be any better.

What is truly amazing is that Nostrils second hat trick in 2 games has been overshadowed by Bedard cumfest.

How is this bad? "Player did something and escaped consequence through his quick thinking". We deserve a better class of troll on here man!

They are so desperate for a generational talent in the U.S. market. Bedard has the world on his shoulders, I don't think he realizes it yet.
Someone tell our Captain the season has started.

Dach injury extra sucks because C is the only position where we don't even have any interesting prospects to call up.
Kinda makes me want another C next draft

Wak Prescott the 60M/yr scam artist, here we gooo!
The putrid Hawks will be rebuilding for the next 15 years, unless the league keeps gifting them franchise players of course. **** them.
Minnesota next, will be interesting to see how we look against a team that’s not the overrated Leafs or pure shit.

Of course he'll be better in year 2 than year 1. Someone that never watched hockey could tell you that.
He should still be the Calder winner by a definitive margin. He will most likely also be the best player on his team.

It was the end of his shift and he went to the bench? What does this have to do with "playing small"?
There are many issues with Slaf at this point in time, "playing small" isn't one of them. He's 19 and learning. I don't understand how in 2023 people don't understand that being tall and big doesn't automatically give you a mean streak.
No one wants Allen, and DeSmith didn't want to be here.

PP would indicate they need more talent on defence as well. Xhekaj shouldn’t be on an NHL PP. Huston wave 1, Mailloux wave 2
