Bedard had a bad game..
The so called top line (Foligno Brdard Kurashec)was dominated 5x5...
Tgey pkayed 9:49 TOI in5x5 by far the most minutes of any libe combo in5x5
The next 2 line combos each were only a bitvovervor underc3 and a half mintesctogether in 5x5..
The FBK combo was horrible 5x5
CF 8 (Corsi For)
CA 14 (Corsi Against)
CF% 36.36 (Corsi For%)
CF% Relative -8.20
In other line combosxBedard was on 5x5 they were in terms of Corsi For Relative %
-43.36
-43.36
+57.52
+57.52
However all these combos were very short in terms of TOI .39 seconds to 55 seconds...so small sample sizes on terms of TOI...
For instance Bedard (at RW Fokigno at Center and Dickinson at RW were together 55 seconds in 5x5 ...so we realky do not know if using that line combo in those positions would imoact the offense much better than tge usual FBK combo..
Butas a top line given their big minutes together in5x5,the Fokigno Bedard Kurashev combo just stunk out the joint..
All -3 ...so bad in offensive imoact and defensiveky ..Chasing the puck in d-zobe too long or behind the play watching...notvchecjibgvwell..
They were hot garbage in this game.
Negativein effectiveness in so may categories...Bedardcthe focal point.. He had a realky bad game ...let us nit sugar coat it...He stink in this game.
