- Connor Bedard’s shot broke away from the competition when he was 13. This is a story about passion and the merits of practicing with only one hand on the stick.

this guys dad did such a good job, "you cant stop someone with this much passion"
One of the best shots ever already at 17 , can’t wait to see him in his prime shooting gonna be terrifying
He needs a killer one t for nhl
if we still exist
the kid puts absolutely everything he's got into his shot, you can see it in his face lmao he uses every fibre of his body, you love to see it
I've seen a shot similar to that, but not THAT good.
Who you ask? Mario Lemieux.
Bedard's shot is out of this world great.
the way he said that... the neighbor definitely has called the COPS before lol
The strength in his left improved not only from shooting.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmfao
Bedard is an actual BEAST
Working on ur left hand with 1 hand on the stick at 12 yrs old for 12w being a dominant lower-right handed player is gunna give this kid a better release than Ovechkin mark my words. Maybe not a better goal scorer but hes gunna have the greatest shot ever over his career. Amazing determination
@@polarisltd-1197 hes gunna have the best shot/release in NHL history. Like I said maybe not as good a goal scorer as Ovechkin but its gunna be dominant hes already 17 scoring goals ive nevr seen before. Imagine him when hes 24-27 just beginning his prime
@SP You're right about everything here.
ovi is consistent and durable: Matthews is not. Bedard will be better than matthews as long as he's durable.
Matthews isn't even in the same conversation as Ovechkin and Crosby by a long shot. He's overhyped due to being on the Leafs.
Shot wise, you are definitely right, very comparable to Matthews but more deceptive than matthews with his shot due to his head being up like mcdavids.
It's rare to see deceptive shooters in World juniors. That's a gift....
@@anonymous134y Bedard is generational, Matthews is not ... simply put
Ovechkin is 6’3 230 lbs. he uses his weight off his hip, to thrust the puck forward, bringing the insane velocity. 60% of a player shot is stored off their hip in that transfer of energy. I played for 22 years. That’s the first thing I never got perfect in mechanics because shooting off the hip with that much weight, makes a player lose balance on the shot, until they master it. I never did.
Little Connor Bedard carrying a Canucks bag is my favourite part
It's going to be exciting to see him in the pro's next season. The playoffs this year have been the best I've ever seen. The quality of the kids these days is off the meter for us old schoolers. Really fun to watch.
i was saying the same. even before the season started i was already anticipating the intensity of this year's playoffs. And it was above expectations. Im a 80's kid and I too can recognize the level it got to. The show presented on the ice is just fantastic!!
When I have a kid, I know:
- Get him hockey gear.
- Break wife’s stuff in house.
- Go to Hawaii.
- Break sons hand.
- NHL draft!
Got it!
My son is 6 months old… sorry about your wrist bud, it’s for your own good.
Hes gonna push the sport to another level. Its gonna be so fun to watch. Cant wait to find out who gets him.
So excited to see him in the NHL!
Connor Bedard is such a good player and he's inspiring
true
Legendary
Chicagooooooo
I Love bedard as a player ❤❤❤
This kid will be an allstar, He will most definitely become a name like crosby or mcdavid, he got that stuff.
They said the same about lafrenière….
@@jagcovers9456 lafreniere is nothing compared to bedard
@@jagcovers9456 Not really. There are always people hyping up top draft picks, and a few overdid it with Lafreniere. But there was no consensus that he was a generational talent. There hasn't been a clear-cut, no questions asked, consensus number one like Bedard since McDavid. I'm a Rangers fan, and I was hoping they'd pick Stutzle. There was even discussion about whether Kakko might go number one over Hughes. Laine with Matthews, etc..This is the deepest draft in a long time and there's absolutely no doubt as to who is going first. This kid is the Next One.
@@jagcovers9456 Lafrenier didn't put up the same numbers. Nowhere close.
Look at how that stick flexes with his wrist shot! Wow! That is unreal for a teenager! It reminds me of Lanny McDonald in his prime with the Flames!
Sticks never flexed then
@@unfazedevan3268 They certainly did.
@@unfazedevan3268 there is a photo of rod gilbert from the early 1970s and his wooden stick is flexing tremendously although not quite like they flex today rod gilbert had one of the best shots from the mid 1960s to the mid 1970s
Chicago welcomes you.
Do U guys use ur game stick like Bauer or ccm sticks with shooting and stickhandling or do you use a nother stick like a wooden stick to stickhandle
He has the best wrist shot I have ever seen. I have watched Orr, Bobby Hull Gordy Howe Guy and 99.I have followed hockey for 60 years and never seen this talent before.
I agree about the wrist shot, but I've seen overall talent like him before. Gretzky was dominating 10 year olds when he was 6. Mario put up numbers in juniors that were absolutely mind-boggling. Nobody ever saw a kid skate like McDavid before. Bedard is the Next One for sure, but there have been others before him just as mesmerizing.
@@byronleemarley9610 Absolutely, No one will ever again dominate his league like Wayne did! And Mario's done things on the ice that no one has! They're safe..😎
I Love bedard ❤❤❤❤❤
That dude definitely called the cops 😂
The part where the neighbours were talking about him and he apologized for making noises should tell you about who this kid is as a person. He’s gonna make a great leader in whatever organizations lucky enough to draft him.
“Connors mom melody apologizes all the time for the sound”
We got eeemmm!!!! Go hawks!
@@chocomilkfps1264And? He's working.
you gotta have serious core strength to shoot like that
I Love b edard
TOE DRAG RELEASE
Blackhawks 🤞 🙏🏻
His bottom hand is high. Does he use mid kick stick? He is able to bend it quite a lot holding it that high
based on the sticks i’ve seen him use he uses either mid or low kick sticks. he used an ft5 pro which is a mid kick for u18s and then for wjc he used the agent which is a low kick
Gretzky had that kind of passion as a kid too.
Bona-fide Top 5 Wrister in the World at 17
Top 5 is conservative, tbh. It's between him and Matthews, which is simply outrageous for a teenager
Time to work that left hand for a couple of weeks I guess
Neighbor is a legend
My neighbor calls the cops on me when I shoot 😂😂
Please pull a Lindros 🥲
NASTY🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😮😮😮
Bedard is almost better than NHL player's
Well he is better
cant wait to see this kid in a hawks sweater next year taking one timers from kane!!!
he never scores of one tees
Hope he stays in Canada.
Canucks need this kid
les.blackhawks.ont.besoin.de.ce.gamin.ok.garantie.100%.
@@yvonjrpierre5648 non. il reste au canada...j'espere.
Can you imagine bedard going to Vancouver 😂 instant contender with petterson hughes horvat and demko
Can't have Horvat cause there's no cap space (thanks to the Miller signing) unless you don't want to resign EP at the end of next season.
Seems more like just a worse version of what Edmonton is (especially since Horvat will be gone), which I guess is kind of already what the Canucks are like anyway... lots of offense, no defense. Goaltending a bit better but Demko, for all everyone likes him, has never even finished in the top-15 in save percentage in a season. Don't get me wrong, the Canucks would be elated to have him, and he'd probably be happy to go there being a BC kid... but... they are far more than another high-end offensive player away from being any good.
As a Leaf fan I definately hope he goes out west against McDavid lol
@@baiqi44 Myers expires the same year as Petterson, paying him wont be a problem, however convincing him to resign long term may be more of an issue if things continue the way the have been for the Canucks
@@CozyToad But that way of thinking is exactly why most GMs fail at cap management. You also have to save cap space just in case of something unpredictable (like Kuzmenko this season). There's no cap space to sign Kuzmenko to what he's worth. Even if we didn't sign Miller and could afford to sign Horvat, we still wouldn't have the cap space to sign Kuzmenko. You never really want to max out your cap. You always want some wiggle room.
Also, EP's going to be a RFA and not a UFA like Horvat is. It's much easier to sign a RFA than it is to sign a pending UFA.
Still can’t believe he’s only 17, I’m one year older than him😹
He's got such a cool personality unlike McDavid
They're both your usual boring Canadian.
@@JG-ts2udBedard has a personality and he's only 17. He's not a bafoon but he's good in front of a microphone.
please don't ruin this kid's career by letting him to go to a san joes, anaheim, columbus, or arizona.
He'll be fine on any of those teams. It's my Rangers where top.picks go to shit. At least in those places he'll get all the ice and PP time he needs.
Little bit too much hype on this but he definitely has that Mathew’s type release. I just think the NHL after seeing overall viewership drop 20% they need another superstar / Conner Mcdavid type player to help sell the sport. No doubt he’s and amazing hockey player but I think it will take a few seasons before he’s really a player that controls the game at his size
Same thing was said about Gretzky in terms of size. If you have pure natural talent like Gretzky and Beddard have...it's a wrap.
@@JG-ts2udAnd Crosby.
@@mr.brenman2132 I just see better overall natural talent in Beddard over McDavid - but obviously I'm splitting hairs at this point.
It's like comparing Gretzky to Lemeiux.
Hes coming home to the Canucks soon
If you are a young kid go and train shooting with top hand only.
Future Duck or Shark
Interesting that someone with CBJ and CHI for their profile pic is saying future Duck or Shark when CHI/CBJ are 1st and 2nd best odds and the Ducks have the 3rd best odds and Sharks have the 6th best odds (factoring in that the Habs get their own odds plus Florida's). Don't get me wrong, I'm a massive Sharks fan so I really hope the future Shark part is correct, I'm just losing hope when we keep beating getting points against the teams ahead of us in the race for Bedard.
@@jonmendelson1104 Said to my Red Wings fan friend before the 2022-23 season began that Bedard will end up in Anaheim or San Jose. Sticking to it
Posting this so I can look back in 10 years when bedard is the best player in the world
Connor Bedard is the only person to say that breaking his wrist was a bummer 💀
First
His mom is a smoke show
Let´s see if his behaviour won´t stand in the way of his bright hockey journey
What’s wrong with his behaviour?
You mean like every person ever?
I hope you guys remember all this B.S. about C.B when he becomes a complete BUST!!!!
What evidence tells you this?
Is this just you closing your eyes and throwing shit at the wall?
wow.. mom looks like she needs some quality sleep
You probably needs it more.
I’d give her that
botox
Could be one of the biggest busts in recent history.
Are you talking about what I'm going to do if the team I cheer for (Sharks) win the draft lottery to get him?
I'm sorry for liking womens leaque.
