Holy shit, did you see the Bedard goal tonight?!!

 

Even Gretzky said he couldn’t do that. 

The difference between Bedard and Zegras. 
 

Bedard saw an opportunity to score

 

Zegras saw an opportunity to be on the highlights

To be fair, Petey couldn’t do what Bedard did tonight. 
 

Unbelievable. In an NHL game, with the amount of defensive attention he gets. 

 

Bedard is definitely worth the hype so far. Amazing talent.

Nice W against the 32nd team going into the holidays.

 

Somehow Kuzy still ended up -2 with his 2 goals... Tocc still has the Russian dilemma to resolve.

 

Oh well, we're now sitting on top of the league with 49 points and .700 point %. Even Thomas Drance can't put an asterisk next to our team anymore! 

Oh, but Dunce will put an asterisk on it you know he will

So I guess we're not getting that Macklin Celebrini kid eh?

No we are not, but we are getting Connor Bedard. He is going to force the Blackhawks to trade him here for a bag of pucks because he wants to go on the best playoff run in franchise history in 2024 to help capture his favourite team's first Stanley cup.

I am a big Pettersson fan, but this was not a good game for him.  He was -2 despite having two assists... on for four SJ goals.

 

He went too deep... 3rd man in deep, on the first SJ goal, allowing an outmanned rush, and the 2nd goal he didn't cover his man very well.

 

Kuzmenko scored two goals, but he did have some defensive lapses, notably on the last SJ goal when he didn't cover his man and therefore gave him the opportunity for a tap in.

 

San Jose is not a very good team, but they do have one really good line, that being Hertl, Granlund and Zetterlund... and they actually outplayed the Pettersson line... Hertl is one of the leagues best power forwards and is too big, too fast for Pettersson to handle and the other two guys are very shifty... plus they all can score.  I think the Miller line should have been matched up against them not Pettersson.

 

I still think Kuzmenko should play with the Pettersson line... the positives from their connection is more important.

 

And Pius Suter, although he is a good offensive player, is best on the 4th line because when Aman is centering that line, it does not look good.  Suter on the 4th at center makes it a competitive line. 

 

Also not a very good game for Myers and Zadorov... I thought this was the worst game they've played since big Z arrived and was paired with #57.

Maybe it was pre-Holiday lack of focus or whatever, but whole team seemed a little off... except for 3rd line of course. 

 

Just a sloppy game... they only won because they outscored the Sharks... and Demko made some big time saves.

Only if we hit the jackpot with the last ball.

Its a Michigan goal, happens at least 10X a season. As a matter of fact Zegras did it to tonight, but even better.

How is that going to happen?

 

He is signed for a 3 year Entry contract...

Only thing that will shut Debbie Downer Drance is to be run over by a zamboni

I want to see the Zegras goal now dammit. 
 

Also…Pro-Tip…don’t diminish what a player did on the team you supposedly support for something done by a player on an opposing team. 
 

This is not how team support works. 
 

Just a heads up.

Nice to win the game. Happy holidays to everyone.

10 times a season hey. I can only think of Zegras, Svechnikov and Johnson. Who’s else has done it?

We already are. We have .700 points %.

 

But of course, Drance will come up with something else to pull the Canucks down...

 

EDIT:

We're 1st in p% in the west, not in the league. My bad.

I thought Bedard’s was better, faster hands & more unexpected.

I dunno 10 times was sarcasm, didn't think this place was so politically correct and by the book. Lots of people have, (not just NHL), google it if you wish, I lost interest.

I have to say, that was a beauty in full stride! 
 

That was also amazing hockeying. 
 

Hat tip to Zegras, but Bedard’s looks more impressive because it was low speed and against the play. 
 

It’s a 1a vs 1b though. 
 

Simply amazing, both.

Just an honest question. I do too think it’s overhyped. Like all the replays of attempted Michigan’s I shake my head. Was curious if I missed someone though. Zegras can score as many as he likes but I don’t see that guy as a winner
