The NHL Meets Connor Bedard, A Breakdown

#nhl #hockey #chicagoblackhawks
The 2023/2024 NHL season is here, and it started with Connor Bedard and The Chicago Blackhawks vs Sidney Crosby and The Pittsburgh Penguins. We break down Connor Bedard's debut & the little things in his game that may encourage or concern hockey fans.

[@Wayf4rer]

I look forward to the NHL's 24/7 Bedard Cam™ where I can watch my favorite team in 720p whilst also having a 4k stream of Conor Bedard taping his sticks.

[@hockeypsychology]

Genius idea to trademark that... ;)

[@FriendlyAura]

Need to throw in a clip of him misplacing a stick every now and then

[@sakalaathletics]

I wouldn't be surprised if the NHL stooped to that.

[@m____w____6981]

I drank a shot every time they said "Bedard" during the the Penguins game. My liver exploded after the first period. Hello from the surgical ward.

[@OFinn77]

​@@m____w____6981ditto for all the people constantly complaining about the bedard coverage.

[@Variableh]

That Crosby goal wasn't on Bedard. If you watch, he switches to cover the point. Crosby becomes Hall's guy to cover. And Hall just doesn't stay close to him, he gets caught puck watching. If you listen REAL close you can actually hear Bedard call out the switch on the ice.

[@bradysullivan-cq3oz]

i totally agree but at the same time he should be communicating that with hall idk if he was but doesn’t look like he did in my opinion

[@Variableh]

@@bradysullivan-cq3oz he did though. Like I said you can hear him call it out. That's just normal on ice communication stuff, happens every shift. Hall just didn't do a good job.

[@micjoseph6250]

He looks so small but im sure he will fill out more , he looks to me like a Crosby more then a Mcdavid. Which is great and great.

[@thejfk_experience490]

I feel like Crosby would've been notably better than mcdavid if he didn't get so many concussions

[@the1andonly759]

He seemed like he had the puck a lot but didn’t know he led in all those categories

[@Jmurda1983]

Dope breakdown learning a lot more about hockey because of you thanks man

[@BlueFlash25]

If you told me he is 25 and is in NHL for years, I would believe you

[@way2low631]

Pls never stop making videos.

[@pistachiopoptarts]

New-age phenom in Bedard vs. established legend in Crosby. What better way to kick off a pro career?

Best hockey content on KZbin by far mate. Love your analysis

[@PROPHYZ]

I know this is all about Bedard & you killed it as always, but I think Reichel will do great as well. Anyway hawkz looking great.

[@abrahamben-dayan9843]

NHL be like: “Breaking news- Connor Bedard just took a sh*t! I repeat, Connor Bedard just took a sh*t!”

[@gordtaylor4621]

He’s only 18…give him time folks!

[@vicdamon3551]

He looked great. He’ll get more and comfortable and will be a star no doubt. Got get those first out of the way to relax

[@2genders]

Hes the next Kane. Another cup in the next 3 seasons.

[@dawnsempire8510]

look, i'm one of those who's sick of the *constant* hype, but OTOH, this is what "marketing its stars" is supposed to look like for the NHL a la the NBA.

[@NESADDICT]

I saw Bedard’s first NHL shit.

[@meowmow._.]

the people saying bust dont know anything about hockey and are just being contrarians for the sake of it. he just turned 18, give him some fucking time.

Can't wait for *every single thing* this kid does to be featured by the league........

1st

[@user-et1vi1si8l]

Hello isn't any better than any other rookie or veteran players out there.

[@bangyahead1]

Well, he didnt score on his first shot of his first shift of his first NHL game so I think we can safely call Bedard a total failure, forget he exsists, and move on to finding the next "generational player" which doesnt suck like Bedard diid in his debut. Bedard Farts - A Breakdown Give him a break, man.

[@mvd4436]

He is better than Mcdavid. Mcdavid is a one on one player. Bedard is a Crosby with a Matthews shot.

[@thewalnut4017]

Yeah sure buddy 😬

[@adamgt4037]

Time for Cooley to 1up Bedard vs the NJ Devils

[@cece354]

Nobody is competing people, is people like you who feel the needs to put him down! So sad!

[@davemoody9868]

After a couple games the vets will start hitting him... Good luck bud.

[@Longashe]

I agree. He is an actual kid. I'm not the biggest hockey guy, so it seems weird to me that they would throw 18 year olds in with these established guys who are no doubt absolutely frightening to play hockey with.

[@tobighst]

he already cant stay on his feet and gets knocked around, hes gonna get hurt or be a bust due to mentally holding back

[@xorry77]

@@Longashethis comment scream “I don’t know a thing about hockey”. At least you kinda admitted it lmao. Good work bud

[@xorry77]

@@tobighst You either have no idea what you’re saying or just love to hate. Crosby entered the league at 18 as well and went through all the abuse Bedard will have to. It’s actually what builds a player. The roughness of the game isn’t gonna break him to the point he’s all of sudden loses all confidence and becomes a total bust😂

[@tobighst]

@@xorry77 pretty sure I do because we see it all the time with #1s being busts or getting pressured mentally and failing. And watch him on the ice, he’s not impressive at all. And if you think he is you must think Ryan reaves is the best goal scorer too

[@Gallalad1]

So i will say, do I like the NHL riding him? Absolutely not. But he is a good lad, he seems like a good guy and he plays well,. If he can beat the cameras then I will respect him. Just dont let the drink and women get to ya

[@xorry77]

Shut up buddy😂

[@gladiator_2581]

Bedard didn’t even tie Austin Matthews Record…. Disappointing

[@cece354]

Oh has Austin Matthews won a Stanley Cup or a Junior World Championship, I don’t recall. Seems to me Connor Bedard is two ups on Austin Matthews on winning two World Junior championships within a span of six months! Oh bye the way Crosby scored his first NHL goal in his third game and Crosby won three Stanley Cups 🎤

[@xorry77]

@@cece354it was a joke if you couldn’t tell. No need to list everything someone else has done and prove…. Nothing

[@hammadhaider]

Blues fans are disgusted

[@walterneville2625]

THE FAWNING OVER BEDARD IS ENOUGH TO MAKE A HOCKEY FAN VOMIT... IT IS SICKENING...

[@cece354]

Go vomit now why the heck are you sitting here watching the highlights! 🙄

[@jessestewart3835]

Quit trying to be Jomboy Media stealing his title format. Not cool .

[@TheEstowrath]

Doesn't have the speed, height or physicality that McDavid, McKinnon, Mathews, etc all had. He's more compatible to Crosby, and compared to him, Crosby, so far,(I mean, he's only played on game) is the better player (obv. Comparing Sidney's first game to Bedards) He's young, the talent is there, but I think he'll just be a 'good player's and not a generational talent.

[@cece354]

He never said he is a generational player. Is the media giving him that title and obviously you don’t know hockey enough to understand Bedard’s amazing hockey IQ and shot. Is so pathetic that you people come here and criticize an 18 year old kid. I like to see you elevate your game at this young age when all eyes are on you!

[@dudemandude8023]

Boston is gonna murder him tonight!!!!

[@bensolov257]

I don't know about that, dude, man....

[@pistachiopoptarts]

(Makes muffled choking sounds)

[@cece354]

You are probably a little jealous weasel that wants Bedard to fail. Guess what you are the one that make a big deal out of all this. Even Bedard is humbled enough to say he hopes to make it on the line up to play this season. The kid just wants to play hockey!

[@dudemandude8023]

We all will see in two hours.
