Pre-Game Talk: Bedard fever

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Will Gallagher get a day off?
Will Allen get a day off?
Will MSL break Newhook/Dach/Salfkovsky so he can put someone else next to CC/Suzuki?
Will Barron play?

Will the Bell Center be empty because the tickets are too pricey thanks to Bedard + Season Opener combo?

No
Yes
No
Yes
No

No

You're right on everything except Barron playing.

 

[SOLR]

Better than Bieber fever. lol

They kinda look the same, just saying.

 

[MagicalDeck]

The two most recent first overall picks facing off one another... When was the last time it happened in Montreal?

 

[Milhouse40]

I’ve seen one shift of him and this wouldn’t be an unreasonable overreaction.

Love Reinbacher but I’m glad I didn’t watch last year to see Monty ‘bailing us out’. If I think about it too much I could easily work myself into quite the rage lol.

Fact is, we're actually very lucky to have end up at 5th overall to begin with.....it was in nobody's plan to have Caufield, Dach, Guhle, Matheson, Xhekaj and Anderson missing big chunk of the season, it was really the perfect storm last year in terms of injury.

 

[Seb]

I'll miss this one, here's hoping for a loss in regulation! 7-8 would be perfect with multi-points for all ours kids.

 

[Goldenhands]

I think we will crush them hard, not really good at predictions, but Ill say something like 6-1 MTL.

 

[Habs]

y'all crazy, 3000 bucks for a ticket?

7-3 MTL, Bedard with 2 goal 1 assist.

People are total suckers for any hype the media can make up. this isn't McDavid, not Mario, not Wayne.. such sheep lol.. OMG I better use up all my savings to watch this kid play!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Montreal wins 17-3.

After the 2nd period Bedard skates out with the Habs in a Habs jersey.

Team goes from losing 3-0 to winning 17-3.

Bedard gets 0 points for either team.

 

[Tyson]

I would rather watch Laval live instead of Bedard

 

[CauZuki]

I would rather watch Laval live instead of Bedard

Please , if he was on our team you'd be hyped up .

 

[Gravity]

I hope Bedard lights Monty up like an ornament for costing us draft spots last year.

 

[Kennerback]

People are total suckers for any hype the media can make up. this isn't McDavid, not Mario, not Wayne.. such sheep lol.. OMG I better use up all my savings to watch this kid play!

The hype is ridiculous, but he’s as good as expected.

 

[Habs]

The hype is ridiculous, but he’s as good as expected.

People are indeed calling him the next one, which isn't fair though.. gotta lower expectations

 

[Whalers Fan]

I wouldn't pay $3,000 to attend any event, except if the Beatles reunited... but John and George would have to arise from the grave to join their mates Paul and Ringo on stage.

 

[Bombshell11]

The hype is ridiculous, but he’s as good as expected.

People said he's a generational prospect

They said that the gap between him and the 2nd overall (fantili at the time) was huge.

I don't see it. I think he'll be a good player but no where near generational

 

[RationalExpectations]

I would like Pearson and Kovacevic out, Pezzetta and Barron in. I would like Primeau in net.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

imagine paying double almost triple to see the dumpster team of the Chicago Hawks

 

[Scriptor]

Bedard going to be one of all time greats but those prices are insane. Habs had 240 million in revenue last year with over 100 million in take home profit. Think old Geoff would give us a deal on tickets

That's resale prices.

 

[Habs10Habs]

imagine paying double almost triple to see the dumpster team of the Chicago Hawks

Well in fairness, they do have Corey Perry

 

[Tyson]

Please , if he was on our team you'd be hyped up .

He is not on our team.

 

[Habs Halifax]

With Bedard and the Hawks, the area I ponder about is how long it takes them to surround him with talent. It's kind of like us with Price when he was the 1st big piece in a rebuild and we really struggled to add around him.

3 more years in the bottom 5?

 

[KevSkillz4]

That's A lot of money for watching a guy who have only 2 points in his NHL career.

 

[Paddyjack]

People said he's a generational prospect

They said that the gap between him and the 2nd overall (fantili at the time) was huge.

I don't see it. I think he'll be a good player but no where near generational

I'm sorry, but he is that good.

First NHL game ever, he was everywhere on the ice, even if part of a terrible team.

 

[Licou]

What's the over under on a Caufield Bedard fight?
