Sid was NOT losing this faceoff
Pretty sick
The ref has class
MLB umpires taking notes…not really 😂
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.
I was waiting for ref to say… now let’s get it on. Puck drop
glad sid won that
Such a shame that Bedard ended up on Chicago. Rigged draft it was Bettmans plan from the beginning.
Congrats Conner!
NHL has the best refs in all of sports
Iwas wait the shake hand like legend and new prospect
Welcome to the NHL
“You too”💀
This moment will go down in NHL history
W ref fr
Bedard lst everyone of his faceoffs.
chicago must have the worst helmet sponsors ever
What is Bedard nickname?
the new kid!
Sid have seen alot in his career man !!!
After he says its show time you can just tell the refs soaking up that moment
❤🎉 welcome Conner Berdard
Sport is great
This is awesome. I can see this video more than 1000 times.
Bedard went 1/8 in faceoffs.
Crosby looking old and senile out there
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.
Crosby Owned Bedard on all of the face-offs that night!
Kelly Sutherland is a gem
Ref should be a deejay the way he timed that puck drop with the beat drop #HereWeGo
This made me make the Westbrook face. So lame. Drop the puck and shut your mouth ref haha
That had to be the easiest face-off Sid’s ever taken
Old goat vs young buck
“The kid” Vs The kid.
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.
Like watching a movie scene. Ref with a classy moment
Nice time is over
Pit let me down yesterday 😩😩 what are the odds heh everyone vote for the pit to win but what did you know 😂
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!
This kid should be in Anaheim. League didn’t even try to hide just how rigged that draft was.
Still can’t believe he’s a hawk ✊🫡🙌
Conor is my favorite player gotta love the 18 yr old out here balling!!!
Ok it’s official…. The draft was fixed for this moment.
Bedard was 0 for 7 on faceoffs at one point
Connor Bedard, pride of Metro Vancouver. Best of luck to the kid
Cool referee 😊
Bedard got DSLs
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!!!!
So classy of that Ref. Good for him. Good luck out there Bedard
I enjoyed the Tampa and Nashville game
