Clean hit. This shit wouldn’t fly in the 2000’s. Stop protecting them like they’re the president. Let him take the hit.

Clean. Got stood up. He will learn from it. Alllll good.

Not that big of a hit to be honest.

Looks more like Bedard skated into the guy expecting him to just let him go.

Glad he got his head up at the last second but clean hit.

It’s been Fight Club ever since though.

I am a big Bedard fan and I am surprised that this is first injury. Hope he’s back on Sunday:)

Much as I hate the Devils, that’s a clean hit. Nothing wrong with that.

Hawks acting like it’s 2013 in this piece

Barely a hit ffs

Clearly didnt get the memo you are supposed to let His Royal Highness cut through the middle like that.

Super clean hit. It looks like he almost pulls up to avoid running the kid. How dare he stop a star from going end to end!!??

I wish hits like this didn’t cause scrums. This is hockey, there’s checking.

Skating through the offensive zone with your head down, that’s a paddlin’.

Don’t reach in the centre of the ice, Connor. That’s a good hit. Can’t imagine he’d survive in the Stevens era.

Remember when Derian Hatcher laid Crosby out in his rookie season? Right of passage.

I’m so sick of this shit. Bedard walked into the guy’s lowered shoulder and here we go with the retaliation…

Leafs need to learn how to do this

Best case. Lost tooth or too, I’ll hope for that.
Worst case, busted jaw and concussion.

Great hit!! keep the head up bud

Clean hit and good for his teammate for sticking up for him

Weird that there’s been this movement recently on Reddit that guys should just stand there with their thumbs up their asses after a hit that they have no idea whether or not it’s clean. Even if this hit was clean (it was), all these guys saw was Bedard get rocked and then get up holding his face and go straight to the bench, you people think they’re omnipotent or something? If I was on the ice for that you bet your ass I’m going after Smith, I don’t know no better.

the way his skates move is odd to me.. the speed he’s coming in with, make sense… just odd

Good hit, he’s lucky Scott Stevens is not playing in his generation.
