We talk more about Bedard's goal celebrations (or lack thereof) for his goals at the World Hockey Championships and recent events that went down in the tournament. #hockey #connorbedard #hockeycanada
Exactly, maybe everyone should just do a Jagr salute after every goal, no one ever complained about that one .... wait no they'll just say the player was "disrespecting Jagr" sooooo maybe we should just remove the net from hockey, then nobody can complain about goal celebrations or lack there of
I am sure he starts celebrating goals on the upcoming games that actually matters. That comes after they beat these teams that consists mostly plumbers??
The reason he is not celebrating is because he realizes at the international level, his goal is the gold medal. In Chicago, if he smart enough to realize he is not in cup contention for at least a few years, so he celebrates and show boats to put asses in seats, that is his job. This is competing for your nation, he won't smile until he has gold around his neck.
When I was growing up, that was my coaches advice, "act like you've been there before." It's funny that we now live in an age where people thinking cellys show more respect than just fist bumping your linemates and playing the game.
He hasn't overly celebrated, if anything he's being very calm and not rubbing it in. This just goes to show you can never be surprised by what people will complain about.
Bedard should just completely ridiculously over celebrate his next goal(even a lap around the ice) and then in the interview say "Voracek says I needed to celebrate more, I guess"
@@martinzyka6432I dunno, I think criticizing the most anticipated young talent for not celebrating is pretty disrespectful. The kid has a lot to prove, and he’s keeping his mind on task.
@@joelmacdonald6994 I don't think most understand where is this coming from anyway... I'll copy a post I wrote elsewhere, maybe it will make sense a bit more: It's just a "cultural" misunderstanding I think. Here in Czechia this tournament is basically the peak o the season. people are going crazy, celebrating every point every good shot on the ice, every game is packed, there's regularly 10k+ people on a group stage matches between anyone, not even a home team group game. It's a big event with strong cultural impact. Poeple here are watching NHL highlights int he mornign just to see whether their team (boston especially) finally gets eliminated so that Pastrnak can arrive and help to win a medal.. It's a different story. This is it. Home soil World Championship. And into this, an 18 yo hockey player from Canada comes, scores goals and doesn't even celebrate? does he even care? ... Imagine you have a situation that somebody arrives to the NHL playoffs (not even playing regular season), starts playing against some rival and then acts like business as usual when he scores. like nothing important is happening. Oh and another piece of the puzzle: Canada blew a 5 goal lead against a huge underdog (Austria) in the third period. It would be like a top NHL team blowing 6-1 playoff lead against San Jose. And in that game Bedard would not celebrate his goal being on the top team. be kinda like yeah whatever.... Hey, I am not saying it's completely fair or unfair criticism, I am just trying to paint you a picture where some of this may start to make sense.
The kid has a full season of NHL under his belt. He probably sees the difference in how much harder it is to get a goal at that level compared to this level. He probably doesn't really feel like whooping up the cellys on a bunch of guys who aren't at the NHL level and will never see anywhere near NHL money.
100% spot on. I was by no means a great hockey player but a decade ago back in high school we played a team once (first and only time we played them) and I could tell just watching them warm up that they weren't even close to as good as us, I scored in the opening minute of the game and didn't even lift my arms afterwards, just skated back to the bench like my goal put us up 15-1 .. which happen to be the final score that game. Morale of the story, if I an mediocre hockey player can recognize the time/place to celly or not celly then obviously an elite top player in the game like Bedard can do the same
You write this like there is NHL and everything else are just beer leagues. But that’s not true. Every nation sent their best players to the turnament and there is a lot of quality in Europian leagues. Obviously lower than NHL but still. It is also about dedication, team play, etc. For example, Lukas Sedlak played 3rd or 4th line in Philly and stil had 20-30 point per season but he rather went to the Czech Extraliga to the team Dynamo Pardubice where he played 1st line a got to the finals of the league while Philly can’t even make it to the first round of play-offs.
@@rosik3930 You're making my point. Yes, there are quality hockey players all over the world. But the NHL players, because of the fortunes that can be made there, are the best of the best. There's nothing higher so the NHL is where the _very_ best talent ceilings out and accumulates. And like you said, Sedlak is a stud when he plays outside the NHL -- but within the NHL he's an average player on a non-playoff team. Bringing up how his NHL team is struggling doesn't really support your point. If the Flyers played in Czech Extraliga they would absolutely dominate BECAUSE the average guys on their 3rd and 4th lines would be 1st liners on any Czech Extraliga team. So who are the Czech Extraliga teams going to put out there to stop the NHL 1st and 2nd lines? Conner Bedard is a 1st overall draft pick in the NHL and will undoubtedly be a top NHL star one day. THAT's why he isn't wildly celebrating when he's playing outside the NHL. He recognizes that he's playing against lower tier talent, still good -- but not NHL-good, and he's not rubbing their faces in it (which I think is commendable).
@@arkwill14 nobody sayed that Bedard has to do crazy cellies. But he could at least smile, rise hands to the air, be happy that he scored a goal. His expresion is worst than expresion of most of the players that are sent to the penalty box. I am Czech and you are Canadian so we different glance on the situation. All kudos to the Bedard what did he already achive in a such a young age, he is great player. But his behave after he scores a goal from my point of view looks pretty despicable, cocky, disrespectfully. It´s like. Yo I scored a goal against some lowkey donkies 🥱. Non celebrating it is much worse than celebrating it. I wouldn’t say anything if the score was 10-0 but it definitelly wasn’t. I play in the beer league and if there was a guy much better than all of us and he would score goals without celebrating it I would definitely go for a gloves drop for that because I would take it personally that he is laughting at me and despice me.
How serious he is taking it is reminiscent of Crosby. Sid works hard every day, even in his senior years. I wouldn’t be surprised if Sid gave Connor a call at some time. “Look kid, here’s what you need to do, and here’s what I did wrong”, wouldn’t surprise me one iota. Sid has been known to give advice occasionally to the newest stars and leaders.
How is showing appreciation to your teammates disrespectful or harmful? Any players who have problems with him 'celebrating' are just hurt that a teen is showing them up.
Bedard Crosby and mcdavid with Makar and Hamilton on a pp would be insane like who do you cover everyone can score and 2 of them have ran some of if not the most deadly powerplays in history.
Someone made a great point, he's wise beyond his years and knows his place and doesn't want to come off cocky while he's still the new kid in town of the hockey world! He has plenty of time to celebrate and imagine when he actually has this type of talent around him in the NHL!✌️
Sounds like Nancy needs a hug! Bedard has practiced hockey most his life! He is allowed to celebrate like anyone else! He is also representing his country performing at a elite level! He is so GOOD they have NOTHING else to pick on!
Leave the kid alone, he is playing the game like he should, honestly there is to much celebration in sports right now, when you score a huge goal to win a game, or a playoff series, or the win Stanley cup, then you can celebrate all you want.
International audiences don't understand hockey like Canadians.this is a different league and a different team, where Conner is playing a different role. In the NHL he is the rookie he's supposed to be out matched by the best of the best as but hold his own Here he is the most experienced player he's playing the leadership role, and he won't celebrate untill the job is done Also he's humble and making alot of this look easy at times and he's actually trying to be respectful
How is he being disrespectful he is just bumping gloves and being classy which is a hell lot more classy than throwing your glove in the air and pretending to shoot it
Recipe for being a good sportsman. 1 be humble. 2 respect your opponent. 3 always give your all. This championship will be a good lesson for the Canadians
Connor Bedard gets paid to score goals for Chicago. I also believe his reactions would be more animated if it was played in Canada. Keep doing what you're doing. You're an awesome player.
Really ? You know someone has nothing to say when they waste your time and theirs telling you what they think of the tone of someones celly. The adult in the room is Bedard.
And like, no offence to Great Britain for example. I can’t play hockey for shit and any guy from that team would destroy me, but absolutely 0 people thought that Britain would win. It’s almost a done deal before the starting faceoff even is taken, so what’s the use in celebrating at all?
This is so dumb. I am sure once he scores either: a goal that matters or against an opponent that matters he will celebrate. He is being humble, not trying to humiliate imo.
Go Bedard Go. Ignore the critics and just do your thing and forget all the jealousy. There are very many of us who love your talent and watching you play.
Classy. He knows that beating the UK or Denmark or...insert name here..is likely, always expected & not a real cause for an over-exuberant celly. Totally cool with me!
There's a theory that many hockey players prefer the US because there is less pressure, which translates into a drought of 31 years winning a Stanley Cup by a Canadian team. This vid is a good example of chasing our players southward.
If you score a goal then you should celebrate it. Not to rub the other teams nose in it but to celebrate your accomplishment and show how your excited. People who don’t want to celebrate a goal then they can go play a game where they don’t have winners or losers
If I know one thing that is a certainty in the times we live in it's that some people will get offended by literally anything. Bedard, if you're reading this, keep doing what you're doing.
Not celebrating too much is the most respectful way to score. Yzerman never celebrated much either and that guy was one of the most respectful players in the history of the league. Some of these people just need to stfu honestly
The person who posted this video is just someone who wants to find fault with him. "Bedsauce" will probably be critical of Bedard if his team wins the Gold and Bedard celebrates and shows enthusiasm.
Here's a fun fact that might explain things: Bedard scored goals in 18 different games. Chicago lost half of those games. How disrespectful is it when Canada outscores a team by 10+ goals and celebrates EVERY time? I'll also give another fun fact: In tournaments all-time, 8 of Canada's 10 most dominant wins came in tournaments they either didn't medal or didn't win gold. Bedard knows that he's playing world class players, hence the greater parity. He also knows that players celebrating goals excessively often leads to defensive breakdowns and teams answer quickly during that temporary lack of focus. If his subdued behavior later in the season is any indication, it's clear that Bedard's sole objective is winning hockey games and scoring goals is only half of the objective. Case in point: during the recent OHL final (Game 3), London trailed 6-2 heading into the 3rd period. From there, they scored 4 in the third and won the game in double OT. In Oshawa's case, celebrating a lead drove London and their top talent DEMOLISHED them. This loss was a difficult one, after losing 8-1 and 9-1 in the first two contests. London scored 12 of the last 13 goals, a feat that few should have doubted after the 17-2 drubbing to start the series. For Canada, and specifically Bedard, staying focused and vigilant to WIN not just perform, is a lesson few Canadian NHL teams don't need to learn. Toronto and Winnipeg amongst the ones who could take a few pointers.
Give the kid a break. If he celebrates his goals people say he is cocky. If he doesn't celebrate he is being disrespectful. Did people say that about Brett Hull when he didn't celebrate?
Looks like people are confused or did not uderstand intention. The problem some people had is that Bedard is playing and scoring with apathy not showing any excitement. People are delusional if they think showing excitement when scoring a goal is disrespectful. This is way more disrespectful and its literally saying "why would I celebrate something so easy to do...". It would be understandable if it was like goal in 8:0 game or something but it was not...
I disagree with your parity comment. As always, there are clearly the top teams, clearly the bottom teams, and the one or two who surprise with performances that are unexpected, real pleasant surprises, lifting them to the 'middle tier,' at least for this year. This year, it's the Swiss. The tournament would be so much more exciting if the Swiss and Germans could stick there, and maybe another team - that would be closer to parity.
Voracek I guess is welcome to share his opinions, but they're kind of a nothing statement. It's like, you're going to get criticized either way, and this is just how Bedard is. Every time the media tried to bring up his own personal accomplishments, he would always defer to being a team player, trying to help his team win, and also point out his shortcomings even if he had a multi point night. It's funnier than anything that he's getting criticized for his lack of emotion lol.
The guy is a G. Don’t change a thing. Whomever thinks he is being disrespectful by not being disrespectful needs to get a grip. Pretty sure it’s no one ps.
It's just a "cultural" misunderstanding I think.

I don't know if it's misunderstanding or just two cultures coming into contact with each other and staying true to their character. Bedard not over-selling his mid-game achievements and critics wanting a level of emotional response that suites their own emotional desires. The whole thing is blown out of proportion.
No, he's not being disrespectful. He's trying not to embarrass the other team more than he already did when he scored on them. Why celebrate and just make the opponent angry after you torched them the way he does.
Anyone look at the teams he scored on... why should you celly against a team your suppose to beat and its 4-1 already?? Bobby Orr didnt celly when it didnt matter. Jakub should be mad... he hasnt scored a goal in 2 years.
