What a beaut. Going to score at least a couple hundred more just like it.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Now if only he'd start scoring more of those at home.

The way he gets off shots so quickly and accurately, insanity!

 

[Waterbuf]

That was insane. I've never really seen that exact motion on a shot like that. For a moment I almost thought he put it between his legs first with the amount he dragged the puck. From the release to the puck hitting top corner, its like a split second.

Bingo, well said. That's Bedard. It's why the doubts about him were silly. He's going to be a star player because this young man can do something very, very few can. Incredible.

Hawks need to get him support ASAP I know they want celebrini too but he needs to play with at least 1 top 6 capable forward

 

[Kevin Musto]

I don't think I've ever seen a shot like that before. It doesn't even look real.

 

[Realgud]

Amazing goal because of the shot but man, "oilers" and "defense" are about to become officially recognized as antonyms.

That's not even the best shot I've seen from him. He had one a few years ago that just amazed me.

YES!

Glad people can finally see just how bad this roster truly is.

They are beyond bad, especially at forward. Most are a bunch of 3/4 line plungers. That and they need to fire who ever is in charge of the PP, it is pathetic. Same stupid back pass then dump it in followed by stand in a spot, zero creativity allowed.

Just wait a short 2 years from now about this same time of season when he’s just turned 20. Hawks are gonna be absolutely loaded with complimentary young talent to surround him with. They’re stockpiling those 1st and 2nd rounders. This is the very beginning stage of their plan.

It’s helping us tank though, landing a #1 or #2 overall pick is more important than anything else IMO. Whatever helps this team lose im all for it. Especially because the only important young pieces(Bedard, Korchinski, and Vlasic) aren’t being negatively effected by the overall performance of the team in terms of individual development. They’re coming along just fine.

 

[Despote]

Doesn't look like a generation talent, but should be a franchise player for Chicago moving forward. MacKinon caliber.

I think there's just not enough skill on the powerplay to actually settle the play down. They're always chasing the play, at all times, even on the powerplay.

Oh ya I get that. But at this point just an average PP would be nice. We would still loose just as much it would just be Moore 4/5 to 2/3 games instead of 4/5 to 1/2 games.

Ya that too.

 

[Dack]

That team is ROUGH. I really wanted to see him play with NHL quality players after a career spent on a below average WHL team but instead he gets Kurashev and whoever is sucking the least at the moment.

Better than Mackinnon.

I think Mackinnon might be his floor, honestly. He’s barely 18, has zero support and is still the most dangerous player on the ice most nights.

It's absurdly bad.

Bedard will look really good with whoever they grab in the next draft. Patience will pay off, hopefully.

We have a lot of high picks in the next few drafts. Hopefully we hit on a number of them. I have no problem with the rebuild but it can be a little frustrating to see him trying to create with a bunch of plugs around him.
