Mattress Mack and I bet $5 mil on Austria. Fingers crossed.

He can skate? Boom. Great pick. Impressive.

A 5th overall pick's skating is NHL quality? Hallelujah.

At least he didn't say he's a dead ringer for Draisaitl.

Heh. The Canada/Austria game is pre-empted in BC for Thursday Night Football.

Austria outshooting Canada 3-1 after 13 minutes, though. Lolz.

Canada -9.5 isn’t looking great. Did Austria really hold them to one shot through 15? Just turned it on.

McDonalds sure is an impressive restaurant.

They give you your food in a package instead of thrown on the floor.

So good.

@CutOnDime97 Bedards points from now on only counts as half a point in the pool. Gives the rest of us a chance to win.

Just got back from the game.

Snuggerud, Cooley, Hughes, McGroarty impressed. The goals helped, but they were tenacious on the puck most of the game - Snuggerud especially.

Cutter was … underwhelming. An awful lot of floating away from the play looking for the home run pass. Some poor puck decisions. Looked unengaged.

Hoping to get a different look at him against Finland.

Stankoven gives me Marchand vibes (the skillset not the rat shit)

 

[Rebels57]

HOLY f*** BEDARD

IMPOSSIBLY NASTY SHOT

 

[Cody Webster]

It;s just unfair...

What, Chicago going from Kane to Bedard?

 

[Magua]

I have Stramel above Bedard. Can’t teach size.

 

[Cody Webster]

What, Chicago going from Kane to Bedard?

That's part of it. That shot was filthy

 

[Shrike]

That video that shows his eyes scanning the ice before roofing it near post is awesome. He really looks like the real deal

 

[Jack Straw]

Watching Bedard makes me think of Marcel Dionne. Small guys with amazing talent.

I think you spoke too soon

PLAN ONE

Lottery Luck

PLAN TWO

Lindros Package

Hart - Provorov - Konecny - Foerster - Farabee (add anyone else they want) and 15 million dollars for the rights to Bedard

The thing about Bedard is he’s not actually slight. Guys like Kane and Hughes entered the league at like 160lbs. He’s probably a legit 180lbs, and he uses his center of gravity well. One Flahrsy off-season feeding plan, and he’s almost there.

Congrats @BigToe

Whoever gets Bedard needs to trade for Stank. I could watch this all day.

Shots are just 37 - 8, so that's good.

Yeah, I should have said short in stature, not small.

 

[Striiker]

Out of respect for Bedards performance while wearing that number, I think we should wipe all previous #16s from the record books due to clear inferiority.
