I love how everyones going balls to the wall to keep up with Savoie and Bedard while they both shoot the shit between whistles like "ey nice play brother" "thanks homes"
Not many Bedard highlights where he stood out but i just watched his first big game for the Canadian junior team and looked very impressive especially considering his age.
Check out his highlight tape we made for him.....This was a tough game and he did make some pretty great plays...Think he was 14 though and playing vs the best midget players...still impressive
He's decent for his age, if he spends time developing and controlling his shot, rather than trying to pick corners and going high, creating rebounds and staying strong on the puck he'll truly be a force to wrecken with. I don't want to hear "he's probably better than you who are you" I played D1 college hockey at west point started as a freshman, I'm not saying he's bad but he definitely hasnt fully developed yet once he does he'll be great
Seriously best years of my life. I played AAA hockey (at the time highest level) not far from here and even going to provincials in my first year bantam AAA. I advanced and played some junior hockey until I was 19. My advice to any kid, do your best and love the game. Go as far as you can and take a scholarship if you can. I had friends chase the dream into their 20’s and they got nothing out of it. Have your fun but be real to yourself about the NHL, its wicked rare. Still play elite level mens league and Im happy I still do. Love this game! Seeing the skills of kids today, they would of dusted me 20 years ago. Unreal.
Lifted his stick then his leg got behind the other kids. Refs probably called it a slew foot. Tough call.....probably could have got a minor for tripping or interference.
@@Civitect Sure but for being "exceptional status" he was badly outplayed by multiple players in this game which is something the scoresheet won't tell you. If I get an assist first shift then be a ghost for the rest of the game do I technically have a good game?
@@CKMDhockey97 I mean I guess you wouldn’t. But these kids play 60+ games a year and we’re seeing 1. And bedard consistently scores throughout those 60+ games, while being a double underager.

@@bc1173 We don't know for certain because players back then weren't as good as they are now. We agree about throwing around tags like that gets kinda lame.

Crosby played against kids that played in the traditional system of practice before and after school, no video reviews, less pro and paid coaches etc...

It's hard to say who's actually "better".....They are fundamentally different players. Bedard is an exceptional scorer with one of the best shots the CSSHL has ever seen. In our opinion, Dylan Guenther had a better shot but no one else comes close. Savoie's game is interesting because he's evolved different parts of it. We've seen him play for the last two years in 12 games and he's become more physical and hungry. That mentality is hard to come by especially when you're at the top. Only time will tell who achieves more.
kids suck these days. not enough outside street hockey between on ice days. The kids are only playing when parants are paying when 20yrs ago kids would be playing outside till practice or game on the ice later that same day

Thanks for this comment dude, it was very well written and speaks truth.
That is great advice. Be realistic and play for fun
1:00 what a pass
Good eye!
Good to see some hockey in these hard times 😂
They're getting easier!
What an exciting game. Can’t wait to see Savoie and Bedard in the NHL. Go Sabres!
This aged go oilers go
Some big hits
Most def
amazing back check at 7:00 by number 7
Good eye!
@Gabriel Bouchard that's why we said good eye lol
Lmao he is also the best player in his age at the world
Little hard to backcheck every play when you play 60 minutes
@@ethanbennett6995 backcheck, forcheck, paycheque....if u cant do it then train til u can
My guy Savoie really just said "I'll just keep popping kids until the other goalie lets me score"
lol
Yup!
I probably would've been playing with/against them but I messed it up for myself.... Man
Sorry to hear!
Cap
Savoie looked electric
This was at westhills arena, interesting to watch.
Yes it was.
I cant wait till they play each other again in the CHL !
It will be cool
savoie is a big body out there now, wow good for him
He does throw his weight around alot and is a good hitter.
dude is like 5'8" 150 lbs wtf u talkin about?
@@bc1173 The way he hits
@@lucasburkemper4736 he hits like a guy who’s 5’8” 150..
@@bc1173 Sometimes the speed and momentum are more important than height and weight. So he definitely hits hard.
What in the world is that kid thinking skating like that at 3:57 lucky the guy took it easy on him 😂
Good eye big dawg
Savoie jus rocks everybody
Yup, he was that game.
Awful call at 5:29..
Good eye!
How is that an awful call?
Memeologyy he fell before he got tripped
Owen When I put it to 0.25 speed I see the fall. Good eye. Tough call on the ref’s part.
@@owen2643 you should be a ref
Are these spring teams or teams for the entire season
Sorrow Scorpion regular season teams
Correct
I thought this was supposed the be the best, what’s Connor Bedard and Matthew Savoie doing in here
What do you mean?
@@standoutsportsvideo He just baiting, didnt work
@@CarlWinslow346 L bait
The ejection at the end I don’t think was the right call they were both battling for space and one kid fell. I don’t think that’s a penalty

For as high scouting as Bedard is...he did not show up to play in this game.
I mean he had a assist. Can’t really call it a bad game if ur names on the scoresheet

He's actually sick and got exponentially better from this game to March 2020
@@standoutsportsvideo this comment aged very well
the fact that a handful of people compare these two to crosby is laughable. crosby was putting up 5 ppg against his own age at this age.
They probably would have if they played bantam when they were supposed to play bantam. The comparisons are kind lame though tbh

Fishin with Andy those two were lights out some of these other players were not up to par with the level

agreed but bedard got that exceptional status
