Excited to see this Berard kid.

 

[jani]

Hope his back holds up while trying to carry some of those pylons

 

[atreyuavenged]

That eye injury tho.

 

[Goulet17]

I've been tracking recent posts. I hope that we can pull out a loss. If we win, the board will likely plunge into unprecedented despair.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Time to get Bedarded.

 

[Ceremony]

Do I need to post Connor Bedard again?

 

[UncleRisto]

Time to get Bedarded.

Never go full Bedard.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Can’t wait to not watch again.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Epic GDT thread!

Who is this 'Berard' kid?

Avs climb to 4 - 0. HF Avs has a complete meltdown regarding the lost season.

 

[UncleRisto]

Who is this 'Berard' kid?

Bryan.

Man, why is a home game starting later than their games on the west coast.

Premier matchup of Mack vs Bedard, and the NHL schedules a 10:30 EST start time

Think it’s just a delayed puck drop for the 2022-23 Stanley Cup banner raising ceremony.

That should take about 10 minutes and then there’s a Tyler Arnason jersey retirement ceremony for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Here's a list of some other Kyle Calder Trophy winners:

Kyle Calder (Pats, and Blackhawks as a rookie, and in 2003)

Colton Orr (2003 Pats)
Jeff Schantz (Pats and Blackhawks as a rookie)
Craig Anderson and Michael Leighton (Rookie for the 2003 Blackhawks)
Tyler Arnason (Blackhawks as a rookie and in 2003)
Connor Bedard (Pats and Blackhawks as a rookie)

Bedard is going to get MacKinnoned, and I am here for it. I want a Mack reverse hit to welcome him to the NHL.

 

[Grigowski]

So Taylor Hall is playing? Isn´t he injured?

Bedard is going to get MacKinnoned, and I am here for it. I want a Mack reverse hit to welcome him to the NHL.

I guess Mac and Cale will give him a warm welcome tonight.....

But i am really looking forward to see this kid play tonight. Damn good talent.

 

[katfude]

These late games are bullshit

All so ESPN and TNT can shit talk the Avs the entire time

Bedard is going to get MacKinnoned, and I am here for it. I want a Mack reverse hit to welcome him to the NHL.

I want Makar to burn him as hard as he did Dach. Annihilate him so hard he ends up on a shitty Canadian team.

 

[UncleRisto]

So Taylor Hall is playing? Isn´t he injured?

I don't know who plays for the Blackhawks.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

I am only really an Avs fan, I couldn't give two rats dicks about other teams. So seeing Bedard is not exciting to me. Seeing the Avs destroy him and his shitty team is, however.

 

[Pokecheque]

Boy that old photo drives home just how badly jacked up his eye got by Hossa’s stick.

 

[The Moops]

Must win

 

[wayninja]

These people are full on Berarded.

 

[Pokecheque]

I don't know who plays for the Blackhawks.

Honestly I don’t either

 

[NorthernAvsFan]

Stay hot.

I went to a Regina Pats vs Winnipeg Ice game last year to see Bedard play and he scored a highlight reel goal within the first 10 seconds. The entire arena audibly gasped when it happened, it was at that point I realized how special this kid is going to become. Of course he gets drafted by a team in the Avs division but it’s fun to watch absurd talent nonetheless.
