A cross in between Matthews and McDavid. Chicago has quite a generational talent on their hands 😮

[@shortsports2353]

Agreed

[@snakecharmer3587]

How do you know that .? Hasn’t played a game yet in the nhl

[@shortsports2353]

He’s not gonna be a bust

[@kevinlay4298]

Most people say a cross between kane and matthews, bedard doesnt have mcdavids speed

[@mr.porkchop6377]

​@@kevinlay4298yeah i dont see the mcdavid part

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

His shot is honestly so unique, that top wrist cranking motion is odd lol

[@mathieuferlandkozicz1335]

That’s what I’ve seen as well not even matthews or ovechkin do this top hand “holstering” as I call it, it causes maximum torque to be placed on the shaft and as a result the puck explodes off his blade like a slingshot effect almost

[@xmarine73]

A broken wrist created something that will perplex tendies for years to come.

[@goalhorn2012]

He learned his shot from Coach Chippy

[@Ok-ik4ww]

Matthews was doing that since 2016

[@adamjakab8322]

TBH Mike Hoffman perfected this drag type shot way before #34. That’s what transformed him from promising AHLer to a serious shooting threat.

[@snakecharmer3587]

But bedard didn’t watch Hoffman lol

[@Bdubsky]

Yup and now Hoffman is still the same skill level of an AHLer

[@TehGalvanator]

@@snakecharmer3587underrated comment

[@mikesayles4030]

Who ? Lol

[@YuanGaming12]

The next superstar got his shots inspired by Auston

[@Bdubsky]

Yup 0 playoff wins incoming

[@billmafturack8189]

Used the same shot in the early 70s taught my younger brother using a cement wall and a sheet of plywood.. his shot was deadly and accurate after that summer ..

[@snakecharmer3587]

Sure bud

[@raysat7256]

That shots been around for ever, every generation had a person with a monster shot like that. Only reason it's faster. The stick.

[@DropBear_42]

Lol show me one video of someone doing the matthews drag-into-shot before 2018

[@dstudaker]

This kid is a beast! Too bad he has to play in Chicago!

[@Hawk-eyTown]

What are you talking about? A player of his talent just landed the best case scenario to play in front of great fans in a big market

[@avsrock1561]

​@@Hawk-eyTowncomplete luck for Chicago... to bad there's an AVALANCHE COMING for him...

[@ryanprosper88]

​@@Hawk-eyTownjust hope he doesn't get murdered in Chiraq, or molested by a trainer

[@dylanpallo9465]

For anyone wondering and trying to master a nhl shot try the slingshot pull the puck back have your hand on your hip than when releasing hands first to other hip and this goes same for the toe drag shot it may look like a bad way to shoot at first but when you mastered it’s a dinger past gks

[@maryhaston4960]

nice shot, and Good video

[@Chicagowolvesfanryan]

Bedsy in Chicago 🥳

[@jkb462]

Can’t wait to see where he goes next.

[@dvk7277]

Uh Sundin hellooooo! Lol

[@Weekend658]

No he got injured badly and when it was supposed to heal correctly in the cast, his tendons fused instead and became very tight. His release is like a bullet in a gun bc of that critical mistake in healing that actually changed his shot forever. While he was in a cast, he also began training his other arm without taking a 3 month break and he definitely came out stronger in the forearms from it.

[@pneumans]

Oh God thank you for this. I almost took Conners word for it. Thank God you corrected him.

[@snakecharmer3587]

Um so bedard is lying ?

[@TheMwillis911]

Brett hull was the master of this shot sir

[@jasonhill6074]

The drag is a nightmare for a goalie...

[@Bill-Shakespeare]

Matthews pioneered the drag wrister 😭😭😭😭😭he’s kidding right

[@6XXyeahdudeXX9]

Didn't pioneer it but the first to perfect it

[@uncledamfee2347]

I taught myself to shoot like this as a preteen (Around mid 2000's) It looked different than most players but to me it FELT the best way to shoot for me. I wasn't even think about being deceptive - It just felt quicker, and more accurate for me personally. I also had the hardest shot amongst my peers especially my slapshot, so it's cool seeing it come into the NHL. The way most people would wrist shot looked so weak to me so this is what I chose lol sick stuff!

[@jackkarg2578]

Not bad....for a Righty...!!

[@MustyBastard]

Well at least he didn't get his hairline

[@AAbram-yt9de]

😂

[@ncucomics287]

Don't jinx it, he is still too young

[@MustyBastard]

@@ncucomics287 Connor Baldard.

[@avsrock1561]

Lol... sorry that's the Milan Hejduk shot... Matthews learned it from him...

[@CS97660]

So he doesn't want to win

[@TKSnipes]

TDR

[@Joe-xm3fm]

He shots NOTHING like Mathews

[@thewizardofoz511]

He didn't say it was, he said he watched a lot of clips of Austin on KZbin.. the Interviewer asked him q question, and he gave an answer 🤷

[@xmarine73]

The setup for the shot (the toe drag into shooting position) is extremely similar. His top hand has some Ovie like setup to it due to a broken wrist, I think. His shooting position, though, because of those two combined is really odd to see straight on. It creates a ton of deception with where he's going with the shot. Goalies are likely going to be watching a ton of tape on this kid as part of their pre-scout.

[@CoreyDiMauro]

One can come up with unique creations using inspiration from already existing creations.

[@ryanformosa9746]

The guy who is doing the shooting is saying he got his shot from austin, why are you so upset lolol

[@adamexcellie4272]

Is the hands really far away from the body though?

[@robertamaral907]

Flex at the bottom of the stick ,goalies can't track it.Look five hole and goes bar down.

[@davidblight3567]

Really ? Did he? Where is Austin shot now? Abracadabra it,S gone missing

[@ryanformosa9746]

Top of the league in scoring lolol

[@Coachjeffw]

I've been shooting like like since before matthews was born.

[@6XXyeahdudeXX9]

What inn your beer league?? Lol

[@seanderen5902]

So basically he won't score come playoffs 😂
