Lemieux, like many of his contemporaries, was smoking a pack a day. If he didn't smoke, maybe he would have been even better and wouldn't have missed a year due to cancer, either.

That link is every goal Bedard scored this year for Regina. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that Bedard already has the greatest wrist shot in the history of the sport. In particular his toe drag wrister is the sickest shot I've ever seen. And he does it over and over again in that video.

Check out what he did in the World Juniors this years. Keep in mind that he was doing this primarily against the best prospects who are 1-2 years older than him which is quite significant for 17-19 year olds. Bedard was the youngest player on the Canadian team.

And that OT winner in which Bedard skated around 3 guys came against 2nd round pick Adam Gajan. https://youtu.be/WqlkjuRtyPo

Do we even know he will be on the active roster this year? It's possible, as great as he is, they send him to the minors to start

No chance he's not on the active NHL roster to start the season. He's probably already their best player and he hasn't played a game yet. Plus, ee can only go back to juniors. What else does he have to prove there?

So we are 100% sure?

That second clip was ridiculous.

zero chance he ever plays a game in the AHL unless it's some sort of injury recovery stint.

Got my tickets for Bedard vs Vegas in Vegas, Friday 10/27. First row in the corner of the balcony on across from the benches on the end where Bedard shoots twice.

went to Gunzo's at lunch and ordered an authentic Bedard home sweater.

Did something with my order that the kids behind the counter said no one else has thought of yet or ordered. And that's like 40 orders they said. They were very impressed with what I did.



What did I do?

Asked for a discount?

Paid with cash?

Instead of Bedard you asked for it to say the R word?

Sodomized the cashier with a hockey stick?

you guys are focused on the "no one else has done it that way" and leaving out the "the kids behind the counter were impressed."

no, we're talking about me buying a Hawks jersey, not what my ex-sister in law did to get attention at her and my brother's wedding 20 years ago. True story.

Mein Fuhrer!

hope you guys saw the Bedard hatty highlights from the prospect game. The first two goals were ridiculous.

The first goal is the same exact toe drag wrister bullet to the far upper corner that I've seen him do at least 20-30x in his highlight reel from the past 2 years. That toe drag wrister will end up being his signature move and he's going to score bunches and bunches of goals wtih that exact shot.

One "prospect" game in and I'm sold. (Of course I want to be.)
The second goal of the hat trick was SICK!!! (Who says an old dog can't learn new terms?)

it's a little early for pre season. It's not even cold in canada yet
