He nabbed his first assist, and he got the whole hockey world talking.
There were just three games, and all staggered. But the marquee, prime-time matchup featured a generational talent in Sidney Crosby, one of the best to ever do it, at one end.
You couldn’t have asked for a better matchup, outside of maybe McDavid going up against the Next Great Connor. The atmosphere was electric. The game itself was excellent. Bedard doesn’t care about the glitz and the glamour, though. He’s famous for being a bit too humble at times. He told the media he wanted to make the team out of training camp – as if he wasn’t anointed Chicago’s franchise-savior months before he even got selected.Bedard’s first shift was nothing to write home about.
Bedard would register three shots on seven shot attempts, making him the most active Blackhawk in the first period. But he went 0-for-3 in the faceoff dot, which isn’t uncommon for an 18-year-old. Good luck going up against Sid every shift.
