Connor Bedard got his first NHL shootout attempt in pre-season against the Minnesota Wild and Marc-Andre Fleury and it went ugly… Let’s breakdown what went wrong, and why it could be a bigger sign of what will be Bedard’s biggest obstacle for the 2023/2024 NHL season.

Seems like people think I’m trying to knock Connor Bedard here… Not the case at all.
If you watch the full video, you would know that the coaching staff has been working with Connor on simplifying aspects of his game in pre-season. The shootout is just one example of his tendency to do such things.
It isn’t a bad thing either! As he gets used to the NHL, he will learn how to pick & choose his spots more effectively.
He’s 18, it’s pre-season. We know it doesn’t matter. The kid is going to make a ton of mistakes & likely get scrutinized for it. Hence, why I think his biggest obstacle is not his decision making, but rather how he will handle the ups & downs of an NHL season with all eyes on him.
Quit talking and show the damn video
He missed on a shoot-out. Get a grip, dude. Click bait. Sad.
Flower is all time
Wow, this kid is terrible
Once he settles in he is gonna kick ass. He just doing little too many moves but he has tons of skill. He ll be fine. Probably more then fine.
Dude had Fleury beat just didn’t tuck it in. No big deal. Fleury intentionally tripping players is a bit odd.
“Learning what he can and can’t get away with”… this exactly! The calibre of players in the NHL is a big step up from where he played. Some of these slick moves just won’t work on even semi-experienced nhl players. He’ll figure it out and I’m sure he’ll figure it out quickly.
Great take man
Fuck as a hawks fan I loved seeing fleury show up the whole shootout lineup lol fucking legend
TIL the goalie can trip shooters during the shootout?
Well he may be great but two issues at play. Just an opinion.
1 Respect is earned 2 The Hawks winning the draft lottery when they were in need for a super star hurts the draft lottery credibility that much more. The behind the doors draw
Is a crock of poo.
Wow, what a loser, this guy is going to be a huge bust!
Fleury HOFamer
i think his career is over based on this shootout…
What happened was the ice was junk!! Pucks were bouncing and players were falling all night..It's amazing that no one got hurt
I find that Fleury acted like a jerk! Tripping 2 players? I really hopes that Bedard score as many goals as possible against Fleury,
so Fleury would humble up !
funny that Zegras has been a total ass….but American…and all the US media talk about is how good he is….arrogance does't work long term in hockey
I'm going to watch every game. This kid is legit.
Yeah the media always has an agenda, it can be love or hate depending on the politics. I sense it will be big time hate for bedard
Bread and circuses
Man Fleury is still a fucking beast
Jomboy Media made this guy
I think he needs to be free creatively as sometimes those “extra” moves coaches don’t want players doing are what makes the player so dynamic in the first place nobody will succeed 100% of the time and it may look bad when it doesn’t work
Dude is under so much pressure.. give him time
Great analysis of the kid…. Simply trying to do too much on every rush. He’s excited, we’re excited, the whole scene has to simmer down and all will be good.
Relax. He's 18.
Fleury getting back at the hawks a little for letting him go for picks when he wanted to stay
Goodness sake definitely not enough freakin rewind. Hard to watch.
Fleury is a beast😂
And what? He will one of the best player in history. Maybe better than McDavid
