Not often you see rookies, even highly skilled ones, looking this confident and relaxed, even if he does have to get used to the league. Definitely excited to see how he adapts to the pace.
Hopefully! It would be nice for him to get that first one right away. He’s obviously feeling a lot of pressure and the goalies are better in the NHL. They should have him on the first PP until I would think
He great but hes no Mario Lemieux. In Mario’s career, he only missed a few breakaway or uncontested shots, less than all the misses Conner had in this short highlights video.
Wondering if being a show off might hinder him a little bit. Seems like he likes to do too much and ends up either handcuffing himself or telegraphing his shot to the goalie. We'll see.
As good as Bedard is, and he's only going to get better, I'd like to see some Corey Perry rub off on him. Not so much the shithousery (which is great, but that's not Bedards role) but his intensity and edge.
