look the kids great whatever but people have to shut up about him he's on one of the worst if not the worst team and this team probs wont be contender for a playoff or stanley run for awhile if at all in bedard career if i was bedard i'd leave chicago after my rookie deal is up and go find a contending team that will actually get me a stanley cup and has a good depth chart
I know it's an unpopular opinion but I hate the Michigan. It's not just because I'm a goalie or that I don't like change because I'm okay with change. I just honestly think it should be an illegal move and if you don't make it an illegal move you set a very dangerous precedent in professional hockey. In no other aspect of professional hockey is it legal to carry the puck. The only person who can legally cover or hold the puck is a goalie. Picking the puck up on your stick blade is the equivalent of carrying the puck. If you continue to allow the Michigan goal to be legal then what's to stop players from next picking the puck up on their stick blade and skating the length of the ice with it? Hockey will descend into madness if players start picking the puck up all the time, in all spots of the ice with their stick blade, and many players are capable of doing it. They really need to make a rule change.
People need to chill on this just because Bedard scored a goal that you people do not want him to score. The defence man should get a slashing penalty on Bedard. Bedard never touch the goalie’s mask when he put that puck in the net!
I saw Gretzky one up the Michigan, from behind the net, puck flat on stick blade, launch a saucer to Messier in the slot, over goalie's head, while 2 d-men coming at the GOAT from either side, leaving Messier alone… LOL
Gretz is right, back then as a goalie they would scream at me for going down and for being in a butterfly position. In the day stand up goalie was the rule with legs together
Conor is a great kid … Nice to see a normal sized person playing the game like a skilled wizard.. So much talk of height in sports these days and here comes the normal sized kid and he's proof that if your skilled enough you don't have the be 6 "2 or over to be able to play professional hockey .Anyway I think he will be a great player long term baring any serious injuries .
Well Gretzky wasn't the most talented/skilled player, he had the best game sense, saw the game differently, and was the smartest to ever play. So its not out of the realm of possibility that he wouldnt be able to do this, though i think he could during his prime. Would just need practice to get those reps in.
The curve part is 100% bs. That was his way of saying….. "in my day, that was too hard to do, and/or my coach would've benched me" (coaches from that era hated anything like that. Too much dangling and you got yelled at. I use the same pattern as Crosby (closest thing to it which is the PM9, P4, etc.) which is a really flat blade and it's a mid-heel curve. I can do it. So the curve has almost nothing to do with it. Now, if you have a really deep toe curve, it's easier because you don't need to be as fast but you can do it with any pattern.

Get a few 200 point seasons or at least a 100 before ever bringing up Gretzky

Wayne G. is looking more like his dad, Walter, as the years go by.
I liked the part when Gretz asked how’s your Mom doing these days?
😱🫡
