Blackhawks teammates reveal a scary thing about Connor Bedard that the NHL should fear
In typical Bedard form, Connor Bedard broke another record on Sunday.
With 9 goals and 13 points in 13 games with the Chicago Blackhawks, he has become a point-per-game player. Although many expected him to score less than 80 points this year, even some pundits and insiders expected him to produce at a lesser rate than he is now.
Currently, Bedard is learning the game and is on a 40+ goal pace if he continues posting points.
Bedard is getting scarier as he adjusts to NHL ice, continues to learn the nuances of the game, and becomes the producer Kyle Davidson and Danny Wirtz need.
"You can see the game is starting to slow down for him, which is scary."
"We're very lucky to have him."
#Blackhawks phenom Connor Bedard is the kind of "game-breaker" every great team needs:
A cheat code for the Chicago Blackhawks, Bedard has kept them in games they should have lost.
Nick Foligno, who thinks Bedard slows down the game and becomes better as he goes, calls him a game-breaker.
"That's what he does for you," Nick Foligno said. "I've played with a couple like that; you call them 'game-breakers.' They either win you the game or they keep you in a game, like tonight where maybe we didn't deserve that but he's able to do it sometimes.
"The way he plays and his individual efforts and abilities, you appreciate it because you don't want it to bail you out every night, but those are the guys that can sometimes get you a win that you maybe don't deserve. I was hoping he was going to get that third one, but it's nice to see him rolling and feeling good about it.
"You can see the game is starting to slow down for him, which is scary."
As Bedard continues to show his skills and prove he is who he says he is, making goaltenders look foolish while dominating elite opponents.
