@Tek Buck you think he’s better than Wayne? Thanks for confirming your parents are brother and sister

It mostly just says that TSN put wayyyyyyyy too many replays in there. This would have hit much harder if it was just live-action speed the whole way through. Obviously Bedard is ridiculous and could fill tons of reels...just sayin...

@DiVetoWn a1e11111q

Absolute class act🤙

@Cody S It totally is our standard though. Look at Tavares, Crosby, McDavid.. all unselfish and borderline boring

Those no look passes are seriously another level. He makes a pass look like a scary shot

its the second effort

@invictusanimi I agree, insane hand-eye coordination which truly is what makes elite players stand out. Remember when Crosby batted for goals out of mid-air?

You mention that time Bedard dove to pass the puck. Even more magnificent was the defensive dive when his stick was purposely upside down to knock away the puck on a breakaway. I rewinded to that 10X, and I am still speechless.

Yet he’s still very humble, which is something I always admired with Crosby. Hopefully he carries that humility into the NHL

Too bad Stankoven couldn't finish. He set up 4 Golden chances in that Gold medal game but his teammates couldn't finish

Yet to see someone so good at hockey while flying through the air. He scored a goal with the Pats in his first or second game ever where he Bobby Orr'd the crease and golfed the puck mid air as it bounced off the ice into the top corner. I swear I heard a moose jaw fan scream like someone had been shot out of pure disbelief lmfao.

That was a beauty

Bedard, Roy, Guenther, Fantilli, Stankoven, Wright, Zellweger, Del Mastro, I could go on and on. Canada roster was so incredible this year

Even then, they forgot to include the diving pass from the gold medal game. Suchanek robbed him of a highlight reel assist.

Wow! Okay? Really? He has an outstanding shot for sure.

@B3Nhe had more assists than anyone else had points in this tournament… you don’t accomplish that with bad decision making

Kid is great but cmon now

Hate when people make comparisons like this. It's pure hyperbole and also inaccurate.

@B3N LOL

Brandt Clarke saved the gold breaking up the two on one after his clearing pass hit the stanchion. Clutch

@B3Nalso do me a favour and look up 17 year olds with a PPG in juniors even in the same universe as Bedard (there are very few) but they all turned into superstars

@B3Nfind one other player at 17 who put up over 2ppg let alone 3.3 PPG…. Nobody has done it

@B3Nnobody has dominanted the world juniors like this in 20+ years tf are u talking about

@Michael Shields this guy makes no sense lol ^

@B3N Your original statement was nonsensical, "being good in juniors has zero translation to the NHL." Really? Zero translation would mean that nobody who was good in juniors was ever good in the NHL which is obviously a dumb statement as a good percentage of the stars in the NHL tore it up in juniors. If you wanted to make a bit more sense you could have said not all players who produced big numbers in juniors ended up being stars in the NHL which is true. Jonathan Drouin is a good example of that. What Bedard is doing is a step above what Drouin did though. Going back through the past 20 years, there are only 2 players who put up comparable numbers to Bedard in their age 17 seasons: Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid.

Haha couldn't go to bed after a game without watching the longer highlights

@Adam Peddle ohh I got it now! Took me a second, new to the hockey! Thanks

2 tourneys

He will go to the Oilers just so we can watch him, McDavid, and Draisital make highlight play after highlight play.

@Bee Are Hell ya

This is this most Canadian thing i’ve ever read

Don't think the Oilers are getting him Luke.

Canada outshot every team they played by a wide margin, except the Yanks... and they scored 5, plus an empty net on them... Bedard also scored really big goals, never mind the huge percentage of Canadian goals he had a hand in...Milic was great and they wouldn't have won without him either, but he wasn't even the tourney's best goalie... Both Slovak & Czech goalies outshone him...Bedard was Canada's, plus the tourney mvp... sans doubt...

"What a freak" heh

anyone who wears a bowl/cage in the world juniors is going places🤣

Regina Pats (WHL)

@dawheels__September 15th of this year… meaning he gets drafted this year

@uncle thamyou have to be 18 by September 15 of this year to be eligible for the 2023 draft, which he will be

@Zack Young he had to be 18 by September 15

Don't listen to these guys hes 2023 draft 😂 born July 17 2005 he's eligible this year. Good thing too he'd be so bored if he had to stay in the WHL again next year

@dawheels__ Just means that he has a full year for more development

@Timothy Letwin for all we know he might only put up 20-30 points in his rookie season but he could also be over a PPG

@Timothy Letwin yeah I’m just comparing players from when they were in junior… I do agree that anything can happen when someone jumps to the NHL

@Floufay I think you need some NHL stats before you compare. That would be McDavid.

I mean if we’re going if stats alone he’s the best player since Lemieux and Gretzky

@siniaura "no need to whine". ironic

@uncle tham usyally. im just fan of FAIR play. no need to whine. my team is ranked 1sT by IIHF-eh ;)

@siniaura They always do in the eyes of the losing teams, eh?

Refs dominated more

The next Jordan Eberle!

Pray he doesn't go to Arizona. We'd never hear from him again.

@Dim T Not sure you can compare that without NHL icetime.

@Aln Gaming Nobody does.

Crosby’s edges

He is 17 and bigger than Sid

I agree with everything you said except with McDavid’s speed. But I do believe he’s overall more talented than McDavid and could become better than him!

Good one!

185 isn't big enough?!?! The kids solid. He has been skating with a target on his back and a price on his head for years now. He will be just fine.

Yeah I mean he’s 5”10( not short) 185 lbs… that’s pretty good for 17 years old. He’s not even a man yet

He’s already 185 pounds that’s not that small for a 17 year old. Plenty of good NHLers who weigh even less then him and have half the talent

He was a plus 27 lol

Massive? Lol. Why because the best kids IN THE WORLD could also score a goal or two against them?

Definitely not, I swear people act like every offensive player is bad at defence 😂dude did his job good defensively as a winger only so much u can do defensively as a winger and he did it

@N B What a logical and thoughtful response to my point about Ovechkin. People hate on McDavid but he is still young. The guy has 10-15 years left in the league and is still getting better

@N B When does he cry? You seriously do not watch him play for you to say that. Troll!

@TheOnlyRaid 😆

@Timothy Letwin Stats that are just that, stats. Dudes a crybaby and fwiw he does have a team.

@N B You obviously don't watch him and his compete level. 33 points in 16 games (2022) isn't enough for ya? Even Gretzky needed a team around him to win.
