The NHL Has Never Seen ANYTHING Like Connor Bedard
Connor Bedard is on track to have one of the best rookie seasons of the modern era in the NHL. In today's video, I break down the film and analyse the elements of his game that's allowing him dominate the Chel already at just 18 years old.

Dude really is the next big thing in hockey. Keep him healthy and safe.
Your comments are along the same thought I had. This kid will be great if other players don't develop jealously toward him and try to hurt him.
@@newfiejoe4998pretty sure that ship has sailed already. Hockey players are not known for their integrity and wits.
That play at 6:50 was a god damn thing of beauty. The way he put the puck right on Perry's stick. It doesn't get any sweeter than that. Absolutely beautiful.
Bedard not only has the shot, his play making ability is insane.
BECAUSE HE PRACTICES LIKE A SHAOLIN !!
Yes we have, Mcdavid and Gretzky
He's a special talent for sure. Even Matthews and Ovi were 19 when they started whereas Bedard is a very young 18 (july). The Hawks roster is arguably one of the worst ever outside of Bedard as well, which makes what hes doing particularly impressive.
and W.G. was 17
@@johncampbell3912 not in the nhl he wasn't. he played his first game in fall 1979. the oilers sent him down in the beginning. he just like bedard started at 18 in the nhl. you gotta look back a long way, but there were 16 year olds.
@@the.wayne.b "Sent him down"? lol I'm from Edmonton and remember he won the Hart that year. And the WHA was, in fact pro.
@@johncampbell3912 he did win the hart, and was 18. I mean Google my friend. I'm from Edmonton too lol
@@the.wayne.b did you also mean the bit about the oilers sending him down?
Love this video! Bedard got me watching hockey again so I appreciate your highlight video.
Thank you for the support!
The Finnish Flash scored 76 goals in his rookie season.
He has lots of greatness potential
Very well put together video man keep the grind up 🔥
Thank you, appreciate it!
Bedard has the makings of a potential generational player. He's basically Auston Matthews with more upside.... But i don't know that I'd give him that trophy just yet. Easily already has a top 5 shot in the league though which is insane.
Ah….let’s not get carried away. I get to watch McDavid play live every home game. He has everything.
But a cup…
@@the.majorz7526 Honestly, I could care less if Edmonton wins a cup. It’s just fun watching McDavid. He’ll be gone from Edmonton in a year!
A lot of opinions on this but the smallest one stood out for me. Someone wrote that Beddard got them watching hockey again and that is the most impressive one. Today's cookie cutter hockey all looks the same with practically every team. The rinks are too small because the players are bigger, and faster and more talented. The NHL needs bigger ice surfaces so fans can appreciate the play making or as Orr once said, put the centre line back in play for off sides.
Connor B just arrived, he’s only just begun.. keep watching him 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
League needs players who can draw in new fans. I don't watch hockey but I'll watch this guy
keep this up bro. thought you’d have way more subs
Means a lot mate, thank you!!
For every future generational talent I can already smell a "The NHL has ever seen anything like" video haha
Haha maybe so. Thank you for watching and supporting a small channel though :)
BECAUSE HE PRACTICES LIKE A SHAOLIN !!
I’m from Vancouver where he’s from and where he played when he was a kid. When he was 15 he came out to my goalie practice to shoot. he was good but he wasn’t special it’s insane what he has accomplished in about 3 years
He had 28 points in 15 games in the WHL when he was 15, had it not been for COVID he would’ve destroyed Tavares’ exceptional status season point total - you literally cannot get more special than that at 15 lmao
Glazing is crazy.
He just showed you everything he is doing right. It’s called analyzing a generational talent. That is not glazing. If you are upset about Bedard vids, don’t click them.
Yes I did. And thank you
He is a special talent, playing great, and doing things very few can do at that level. Staying healthy is the key to a super star career.
I've literally seen people score that way dozens of times in travel and juniors...it's not THAT impressive
@@85rjn Bot
Its too early to compare him to the greats but as a 18 years old player, it sure looks great.
Nikita Kucherov is the most underrated superstar of NHL😢
DeEsser .. find it and use it :) it will help a lot to your audio and it will increas the quality of the audio :) no hate just the tip
He’s also 18. Can’t even buy a beer yet
When the great one even says hes good you better believe it.....just saying....
Let’s talk when he has 150 point season
He only played 25 games in his career. Let us talk will ya loser?
He has way more.potential then what hes putting
As a current "pick up' goalie I would like to say what the Florida goalie in the first clip was trying to do. as a goalie you play the odds. you look for clues, and if you can correctly guess what a player will do, you can make the the save. Now most players wont shoot that sharp angle shot(most, C. B. is built different) so what I would have done is drop my right leg down (not the leg on the post). reach my stick out for a pokecheck, or blocking a pass out front. here I am playing the odds, I am betting on him not to shoot the sharp angle because I have the post hugged and my "five hole" covered for the most part. I want him to have to lift a pass over my stick where again I am playing the odds that if it goes over my stick it goes over his team mates stick. I am taking away his options to pass and expecting him not to shoot. So where does he go? Behind the net to try to make the pass again but this time from the other side. I am ready for this because I kept my leg up on the post for this exact reason, to push across to the other post where I again play the odds of a player not going for the sharp angle shot. he will need to make a pass out front and now I have given my team time to take away the man out front. C. B. scored because before the florida goalie could even get set up on the post or get his stick flat he roofed the damn thing right passed the goalies ear. C. B. is simply built different. where mcdavid is simply so fast at decision making, C. B. can simply do what players haven't even tried consistently for almost ever.
That's a nanosecond decision. Would you have any time in that situation? As the goalie realize a turn-over is right on top of him it's about over
What’s crazy is, he’s kind of in a slump rn. His slump is better than the other rookies by far…the team around him is so infuriatingly bad, I can’t imagine how frustrated he is. Davidson did him NO favors even before we lost everyone to injury. He leads the team in points as a newly 18 year old kid and every time he touches the puck, he’s surrounded by 4 defenders bc he’s all the opposing defense has to worry about. If he had Kane and Toews with him, he’d be over a point per game…I’ll never understand why Davidson wouldn’t bring them back
Let’s not forget Elias P, he’s poetry in motion
Jesuson is insane. The aliens have arrived
Nobody asked
No offense to Bedard, he’s super talented but there’s another guy named Connor and McJesus is the greatest player anyone has ever seen, hands down!!
Good one 🤣
I say he's top 10 when it's all said and done and probably could challenge for top 5. But, he's not prime Gretkzy or prime Lemieux. There's also Howe and Orr. Lemieux just hung onto the puck and skated around everybody and by far the best stick handler of all time. Lemieux was the most talented player ever and yet, he's still not the best player ever. That honor goes to Gretzky (and you can argue for Orr too). McDavid is not the best player anyone's ever seen. He hasn't taken his team past even a conference finals yet. You can argue it's the team around him, but players like Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr and Howe still took their teams to cup wins or even cup finals without great teams around them.
@@baiqi44you obviously dont know hack shit about hockey if you think that both gretz and Mario didn't have great teams around them. Gretz had messier, Coffey, Fure, Kurri, Lowe. Mario had Jagr, also Coffey, Recchi, Trottier, Zelapski. The teams had alot of depth players around the star players. They definitely didn't win alone.
@@joeshmow1583 Where did I say Gretzky and Lemieux didn't have great teams around them? Seems like to jumped to conclusions and don't actually comprehend what you read. Seems like you don't know much about 80's/90's hockey if you think Gretzky and Lemieux always had great linemates/teams around them. Lemieux turned Dan Quinn, Rob Brown, etc... into 90+ and 100+ point players. Gretzky took a not so good Kings team to the finals and turned Nicholls into a 70 goal scorer. I've watched hockey since the 80's and watched both Lemieux and Gretzky in their primes. You think both players had great teams around them every single season? Yeah, the 80's Oilers were dominant and won a cup without Gretzky. But, you think Gretzky and Lemieux had great teams around them every single season? You don't seemed to remember or realized that Lemieux started on a horrible team and turned average players into all-stars (because he made them better) and turned the Penguins into contenders. The 92 Penguins cup team wouldn't even get pass the 1st round without Lemieux. Sure, there's some future HOFs on that team and a not closed to his prime Jagr on it, but Lemieux was the main reason that team got past Washington. Gretzky was surrounded by a great team to begin with, but then he went to LA and turned that average team into cup contenders. Don't make assumptions about others' hockey knowledge when you don't look at all the details. Also, read what I said carefully. I said Lemieux, Howe, Orr and or Gretzky took teams to the cup finals "without great teams around them". So you jumped to the stupid conclusion that I don't know hockey because in your mind, I said Gretzky and Lemieux never had great teams around them. That's what you said of me saying, not what I said. Anyone who turns to cussing right away in an argument is someone that doesn't really have many brain cells to begin with.
Lmao no Stanley and he cry’s about pride tape. He’s too busy virtue signaling
May some day be similar to Gretzky
I've seen it all before.
Generational means taking over a game. Lets wait and see.
Aw man no CC… I will come back if you turn it on 😊
He's a human. 😂😂😂 Its hockey, hes GOOD at what he does. Still a teen, and we have people comparing him to others. Just let him play...
Well I would not say never, but he is freaky good. I do see huge risk with him getting injured diving too reckless into clean tackles and getting flattened. Hope that risk won't materialize. Kid will be in hall of fame. And then again players have bit different skill sets. And bit early to compare to the greats. Not fan of oilers or McJesus, but only active player who in compares I think is Crosby and not fan of him or Penguins either. That is what comes to superstars. And then Barkov shuts any and all of them down.
I'll be honest. I predicted a 25G 25A season, based on how bad the team is. He's got me believing.. Btw... this kid's never eaten fast food.. ever.. thats mind blowing
25g 35a ***
No, Bedard is on a far worse team than McDavid and Matthew. These guys had line-mates that supports them like Eberle for McDavid etc. Blackhawks have a horrible team with no support.
#79 sub
Gretzky here
If only my Blackhawks didn't have the least amount of points in the league. LET'S GO HAWKS!!!
next wayne
He is still not Gretzky. 215 points, including 163 assists. Direct comparison - 137 points in his rookie year.
Gretzky had a shotgun next to him. Bedard is a Lone Ranger at this point.
can;t even compare the two... so much has changed since Gretzky
@@shad0w2393 : you are so right, the hockey has become so diluted
why the hell would a goalie duck?
He may be good, but he’s no Logan Stanley
wait till he actually gets to play with good line mates!
Momma let him play, let him play....he's just a baby.😊
Hes kinda hot ngl
the best player on the last place team in the nhl ? good luck with that
Sure they have 😂 McDavid
His +/- is -14. Not good. 6 games in Dec even, much better. But his shot pct is down to 5 for the month. Fatigue and frustration showing??? Too early to call him great. Maybe he'll be the first power play only in history. Shot is that good.
Aussies are jealous too.
Jealous of what lmfao
Nobody touches him
Should have resigned Patrick Kane n toews🎉 we would have been unstoppable
He’s super talented, but he’s not dominating the NHL the hawks are 9-19
lol.. hes good. but Autist Mathews comes to mind
Are you sure it’s not Autistic Matthews? Sounds better to me 😜
Mathews couldn't tie Bedards skate's
NHL is 🧻 soft which allows all these 160lb dudes to fly around untouched. Has this little fella even been hit yet?
You're not wrong about the softness, but a Bedard is heavier than he looks, 180ish
Ya dude bedard is bigger than you forsure if you haven’t already seen the kind of shape he’s in
I'm better than Bedard in nhl 2019. 😊
British commentator jealous.
I think Mcdavid is better and has a humble way of showing a goal! Bedard shows a conceited meaner!
Patrick Kane did it better
Hawks will trade him soon.
Lol opinions but maybe the better one is the humble and confident one. Seen alot of different people lose there confidence to selfishness, pride and unforgiveness. Probably best to ignore people's comments putting these people on a throne. Pride seems so high up, but the person who indulges in it continually will be brought low :)
