They are not blood cousins. Some of their relatives just got married.

[@hekji__7934]

Gavin’s great great grandfather James Bedard, is also Connor’s great great grandfather.

@@hekji__7934 you simply need to Google the question to realize that what you are saying is false

Him and Landon Dupont are going to insane I hope my team finds a way to be very bad those years lol

[@SirJaymesDAudelée]

3:16 I disagree with this statement. First of all, when you live in colder climates, your physiology acclimates. Second of all, when you play outdoors, you generally feel cold for about 3-4 minutes before your body temp rises due to your physical activity. This is one of the main reasons I always loved outdoor hockey. You can actually play for hours and hours without getting overheated. Overheating causes exhaustion. You show up in your parka, and before long your peeling layers off until you have a jersey over your hoodie, and you’re just cruizin. Good times and great memories bud

[@JohnB-mo4kq]

Yup. Born and raised in MN, and grew up playing outdoor hockey because my city didn't have an indoor rink. It's just like pheasant hunting in the winter, you're stripping off clothes after chasing your dog around for a few minutes.

[@adamthoman1832]

Savoie got denied exceptional status technically. Bedard was the first in the WHL.

[@CLo-ly1ic]

McKenna will be a Calgary Flame!!

[@SSHockey]

@@CLo-ly1ic I’d absolutely love to see that as a neutral fan. Mckenna vs McDavid in the battle of Alberta 👀👀

[@Shik0njuul934]

That would be insane. I’m a Torontonian. This would make leaf’s vs flames so interesting

[@terranboot9405]

Let’s go flames, finally get a first overall pick

[@watching9317]

I feel like they aren't quite bad enough, might get a third

[@Shik0njuul934]

@@watching9317in a couple years you never know. Mackenna is still a couple drafts away

[@wild_insomnia]

McDavid at Gavin's age looked like a Chinese knockoff comparing to Gavin. Man,I expect him to be Mario Lemieux type dominant in his late teens--100 goals per season in WHL can be cracked .

[@jaylenbarnes2.079]

Awesome Video

[@Noah75629]

He’s git hands! 😮

[@Bedsykane9888]

You can’t compare McKenna to bedard Crosby and mcdavid he should be more compared to draisaitl and Malkin McKenna will be a no doubt top 10 player in the future but bedard is something different.

[@aqn1976]

I hope the Flyers somehow win the lottery in 2026!!!

[@MrWonny1986]

Chevy please!!

[@michaelmagic988]

he practiced shooting pucks on the toilet when he was pooing with a ministick

[@commonsenselegit]

not on McDavids level. Sorry

[@unchainedabomination7228]

"Quickly becoming legends of the sport" easy bud bedard just played his 1st season he can get assassinated today and will he still be a legend?

[@TheOldFashionedDad]

The disrespect Matthews gets is insane... Edit: Side note I am a massive Leafs fan so I am a little biased but still.

[@truenorth1355]

Who?

[@SSHockey]

@@TheOldFashionedDad no denying Matthew’s is a stud. I personally have him as a top 5 ish player in the league. If there were tiers, I’d have McDavid and Bedard in the Crosby level (projection wise needless to say) and Matthew’s in the Ovechkin level. There isn’t a big separation whatsoever, I just think it’s a minor gap. Obviously this is subjective as well.

[@lowtierduster-7254]

not in the playoffs lmaooo he’s not generational

[@RodCalidge]

Respect is something you earn, not something you get.

[@TheOldFashionedDad]

@@RodCalidge Yeah which is why I am surprised he doesn't get any...Bedard somehow is being talked about like he is something and he has done literally nothing. Matthews wins the Rocket while getting nominated for Selke...goodluck finding that anywhere else.

[@JohnB-mo4kq]

Speculating on children has gotten out of control.

[@RodCalidge]

You guys boasting about the kid with his jaw broke? Yeah, he's real scary, 😅

[@frankmarinucci8859]

How do you expect to be taken seriously when you mention players that turn around NHL franchises and you offer up Bedard as an example? He's played one season, sure he won the Calder, but he hasn't turned around anything in Chicago. They still finished dead last in their division and were still one of the worst in the league. Ovechkin doesn't even get mentioned when he carried the Caps to a Cup, and in his twilight, he's two seasons away from breaking Gretzky's unbreakable record. I get that McKenna is related to Bedard, but you could just mention him instead of implying that he's changed Chicago's fortunes. I would even talk about Matthews before Bedard. You should also not call your channel SN Hockey as it represents that Sports Net are the content creators.

[@cb34777]

Took wayyyy too much time out of your day to rip someone with 100 subscribers. Per this comment it’s very clear you use the wrong instrument to speak far too often. Bedard, McKenna, Crosby, Ovechkin, are what the hockey world call “Generational Talents” who are likened to players like “Matthews” (very good), who make significant impacts. This guy isn’t the first person to say that a player would turn around a franchise….pump the brakes keyboard warrior. No one has harmed you. Ps, any person with brain and watches hockey knows this guy isn’t from SportsNet.

[@893263007]

Uh, most people agree that Bedard is most likely a generational level talent. This isn't an uncommon opinion. Winning rookie of the year did not change that.

[@mountainsmelodies4096]

Dumb take. Chicago literally gutted their entire roster before selecting Bedard. They're in year 1 of their rebuild and management's goal was not to be a playoff team this past year. Selecting Bedard only speeds up the process of building a championship caliber team. How many great players did Toronto or Pittsburgh have to complement Matthews and Crosby, respectively? McDavid is indisputably the best player in the NHL right now and he hasn't won a championship. As a Calgarian, I hope McKenna comes here. The Flames sure have had a rough go of it these last few years and have never drafted higher than 4th overall in the franchise's history. With a new arena currently being built, maybe the NHL will rig the draft in our favor *fingers crossed*. Since many top players seem to be fleeing Canada for low tax states, beaches and minimal fan pressure it feels like a Canadian team will never again win a Stanley Cup, which is BS considering we produce more NHL players than any other country.

[@terranboot9405]

You liked your own comment didn’t you

[@RodCalidge]

Playing 1 season and getting your jaw broken in the process is legendary? SMH

[@greenchef6]

Bedard is not a generational player.

[@SSHockey]

@@greenchef6 not yet, but I believe he has lived up to the expectations of someone that will be generational in their prime.

[@stockey]

He will be impressive, but Demidov impresses me more.
