The two things that grab my attention here is that he's from Vancouver and we all know his favorite player growing up was
Sidney Crosby. Bedard mentioned that he was there during the Western Conference Finals when the Canucks won in overtime, and it was a feeling he never forgot. Chicago faces the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first game of the season. Bedard's first NHL game is going to be against his childhood hero, Sidney Crosby. Pretty cool.
