Connor Bedard admitted that he emulated Auston Matthews shot while developing his game and now the two are set to square off on Monday night, as the rookie continues his Canadian tour with the Blackhawks. Matthews also discusses dealing with the spotlight as a rookie and how he continues to develop his shot.

Matthews just waiting to pot another 3 bingos
Man hockey players must get so sick and tired of the media…
Bedard is younger version of Matthews. Matthews is still better but Bedard in a few yrs will reach Matthews standards. Matthews has the best shot in the nhl currently.
A true professional. Being a fan of the buds and Bedard, Chicago at Toronto is going to be a treat to watch.
Who cares what Matthews think for someone who I supposed to be an elite scorer he had an avg season last year
Scores hat tricks in his first two games and he is answering questions about someone else named Connor.
Matthew's is a circus, he loves that word obvi.
Matthew could care less
Im just waiting for bedards first goal to be in toronto, naturally 😆
I personally think that the Matthew had it easier because he didn’t have to deal with copious amount of videos dissecting his shots compare to Connor Bedard. That was why Austin Matthew was able to score so many goals in his rookie season. Connor Bedard on the other hand is having a hard time scoring because all the players including the defence and goalie can just go on YouTube and do a quick shot and see a lot of footage to prepare themselves in playing against him. I mean Blackhawks doesn’t have a lot of great players on the team so really easy to just focus on checking Bedard to shut down their offence. I feel really bad for Bedard getting stuck in the shitty Chicago Blackhawks with very little support and a questionable organization with a messed up moral compass and unethical practices allowing sexual predator to get away without punishment. Allowing that guy to sexually assault a player to resign and go rape a higher is definitely messed up. Of course Bettman allow them to get away with it with a little fine and awarded them a first overall draft pick after the incident come to light because the victim force them to deal with it in 2018. The sad thing is that Connor Bedard is from North Vancouver same as the victim of the sexual assault. I hate Chicago Blackhawks but love watching Connor Bedard plays. The Blackhawks should not have been able to get a first overall draft pick for the next 5 seasons as part of the punishment for condoning sexual assault and allowing the predator to get away by letting him resign without reporting him to the police.
"He shoots it as good as anybody." That hardly sounds like he's impressed. More like a respectful, yet slightly dumbfounded response to a stupid question
Caufield shoots better than both of em
