    is nobody talking about how satisfying it is that taylor hall is 71 and bryan rust is 17 and it matches

    I won’t tell anyone the secret ingredient.

    That’s a poetic start to a fresh season of the NHL with a starting face-off being a legend against the young kid’s debut.



  8. Chris Lewis on October 13, 2023 at 10:57 pm

    I was waiting for ref to say… now let’s get it on. Puck drop



  9. KorVision on October 13, 2023 at 10:58 pm

    glad sid won that



  10. Alex Winter on October 13, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    Such a shame that Bedard ended up on Chicago. Rigged draft it was Bettmans plan from the beginning.



  11. Strykerstrikes on October 13, 2023 at 10:59 pm

    Congrats Conner!



  12. Trace Rawls on October 13, 2023 at 11:00 pm

  15. Chris Ullrich on October 13, 2023 at 11:03 pm

    This moment will go down in NHL history



  16. Joe Jerdak on October 13, 2023 at 11:05 pm

    W ref fr



  17. john browne on October 13, 2023 at 11:05 pm

    Bedard lst everyone of his faceoffs.



  18. labadee on October 13, 2023 at 11:08 pm

    chicago must have the worst helmet sponsors ever



  19. Craig Jones on October 13, 2023 at 11:08 pm

  20. Salomon Quiroz Chapeton on October 13, 2023 at 11:10 pm

  21. Darkness on October 13, 2023 at 11:11 pm

    After he says its show time you can just tell the refs soaking up that moment



  22. IDieBlues91 on October 13, 2023 at 11:11 pm

    ❤🎉 welcome Conner Berdard



  23. Obbie Fat bastard on October 13, 2023 at 11:14 pm

    Sport is great



  24. 張瀚元 on October 13, 2023 at 11:14 pm

    This is awesome. I can see this video more than 1000 times.



  25. Chris Moss on October 13, 2023 at 11:16 pm

    Bedard went 1/8 in faceoffs.



  26. Nikolaus on October 13, 2023 at 11:16 pm

    Crosby looking old and senile out there



  27. Cuban Assassin on October 13, 2023 at 11:19 pm

    Crosby in yr 1….lost his first 9 gms in a row. Finishing season almost dead last.
    Only st Louis was worse.
    He also finishes 6th in scoring with 102 pts in rookie campaign.



  28. Myks Garage on October 13, 2023 at 11:22 pm

    Crosby Owned Bedard on all of the face-offs that night!



  29. Moose on October 13, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    Kelly Sutherland is a gem



  30. David Bivins on October 13, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    Ref should be a deejay the way he timed that puck drop with the beat drop #HereWeGo



  31. Witurgrl on October 13, 2023 at 11:23 pm

    This made me make the Westbrook face. So lame. Drop the puck and shut your mouth ref haha



  32. Vibrant! on October 13, 2023 at 11:24 pm

    That had to be the easiest face-off Sid’s ever taken



  33. Pewdiepie Kjellberg on October 13, 2023 at 11:28 pm

    Old goat vs young buck



  34. Ramond Mckay on October 13, 2023 at 11:31 pm

    “The kid” Vs The kid.



  35. C Chikes on October 13, 2023 at 11:32 pm

    Who cares, just drop the puck. He says welcome to Connor like it’s no big thing. He literally hit a lottery by making the nhl. Anything ref says can’t express Connor’s dreaming effort and desire to make it his whole life.



  36. Liam Mackenzie on October 13, 2023 at 11:32 pm

    Like watching a movie scene. Ref with a classy moment



  37. DSFX on October 13, 2023 at 11:33 pm

    Nice time is over



  38. Reo siu on October 13, 2023 at 11:33 pm

    Pit let me down yesterday 😩😩 what are the odds heh everyone vote for the pit to win but what did you know 😂



  39. Tom on October 13, 2023 at 11:33 pm

    All these negative comments about Bedard losing his first few faceoffs to Sidney sadden me.

    Crosby is a winner, he knows how to win, from experience. He lost his first few faceoffs against the league’s best players at the time when he first just got to play in the NHL too, you know!

    Bedard is going to be the same type of player Sid is, because he is so hard on himself and he’s always trying to improve. He is always trying to be the best leader he can for people who can look up to him.

    I’m not saying that, points wise, he’s going to have the career that Sid has or the career McDavid will end up having. But Bedard IS going to make a difference for the Chicago Blackhawks, because he’s just that kind of player. He’s the kind of player you try to immitate as he’s striding his way down the ice or when he’s fighting for the puck in back check. And I’m not a Hawks fan btw (Habs fan here).

    When the effort, discipline and results are a priority for a team’s natural leader, it stains the teammates in such a way that it inevitably leads to great things eventually!



  40. Eric Hamilton on October 13, 2023 at 11:35 pm

    This kid should be in Anaheim. League didn’t even try to hide just how rigged that draft was.



  41. Louie LoPresto on October 13, 2023 at 11:38 pm

    Still can’t believe he’s a hawk ✊🫡🙌



  42. Enzo Lex on October 13, 2023 at 11:40 pm

    Conor is my favorite player gotta love the 18 yr old out here balling!!!



  43. Johnny Boy on October 13, 2023 at 11:40 pm

    Ok it’s official…. The draft was fixed for this moment.



  44. CarBuff on October 13, 2023 at 11:41 pm

    Bedard was 0 for 7 on faceoffs at one point



  45. Derek Soutar on October 13, 2023 at 11:42 pm

    Connor Bedard, pride of Metro Vancouver. Best of luck to the kid



  46. Aaro Karjalainen on October 13, 2023 at 11:44 pm

    Cool referee 😊



  47. Big Time Loser on October 13, 2023 at 11:44 pm

    Bedard got DSLs



  48. Steve Fuegner on October 13, 2023 at 11:46 pm

    Glad he dropped the puck as fast as he did they hold onto it way too long in my humble opinion just drop the Fckn thing already!!!!



  49. Nicholas Sinovich on October 13, 2023 at 11:48 pm

    So classy of that Ref. Good for him. Good luck out there Bedard
