Elias Pettersson Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 4 hours ago, Master Mind said: Bedard getting way too much love Racks up points against Austria and Germany. Scores against a tired Slovak team that would have won if they had Slafkovsky He'll get shutout by the States Slovakia was already tired after only 6 minutes into the game? No wonder they lost, they must really be out of shape... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ok with Arizona just so they can finally build a fanbase Ideally he'd go out east though. Columbus would be a good spot Philadelphia would probably be the worst, for his career. Wouldn’t be surprised if Torts benches him because of a misplay in the defensive zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Bedard wasn't Canadian, more superstar talent can only be good for the game. 5 hours ago, -DLC- said: Anyone who loves hockey should be excited about this kid. Bitterness really backfires here. If we're looking at it from the perspective of what's good for the game, wouldn't that mean you'd have wanted Slovakia to win? A new champion would be much better for the game than the same teams winning again and again. Would grow the game around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedard is amazing but to be completely unbiased, McDavid is the greatest hockey player I've ever seen. Bedard more similar to Matthews. Bright future for the men's olympic team regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure? but that's like asking a Brazilian soccer world cup fan if they'd want a team like Morocco to beat them in a quarter final to show more growth in the levels of the game. If they're directly playing one another in a knockout round, they probably wouldn't be cheering for opposing side just for that reason. If it's against someone else then maybe.

Canada has only won the title 4 out of the 10 tournaments since 2012. That’s hardly winning year after year. If you want other countries to grow, simply be better and invest on these kids.

The guy is tearing it up right now. I'll switch my complaint up to " why didn't we grab another 2nd to take BOTH!! " 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True if I were a Swedish or American or Russian fan you could cheer against Canada vs a smaller hockey country. Just like a Canadian fan could cheer for them against any other more established hockey country. No need to cheer against your own country. I It all balances out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I'm pointing out the flaw in their argument. I don't expect them to cheer for Slovakia, nor should they expect me to cheer for Bedard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like when smaller hockey nations win because it probably brings more prestige/attention to their nation's hockey program. Hockey for everyone right? I'd like to see the game grow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 I think we should do everything we can to have enough cap for Bedard when he hits free agency. He seems to really want to play for us. In the short term, it would make me barf to see him play for the Blackhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
