Lesson: At this level, you can't always stick handle between 4 players without getting popped. Clean hit. Wishing him a speedy recovery.
Bettman will make the boo-boo all better with Celebrini.
As a Kraken fan I feel bad for Conor he’s played well for this team this will hurt the Blackhawks for sure
I say just run jack hughes make it even. Brendan smith is a can since he got drafted by detroit
Welcome to the NHL buddy
Finally they leveled this kid
Just another reason for proper facial protection… hey NHL post this one for your obsession on the kid.
How the new helmets and neck guards coming btw??? Safety still waiting.
Crosby be off for 120 games if not more 😂😂😂
Do that to Connie McFAlRY and its a 40 game suspension 😂
Glass jaw Bedard.
Bedard is soft, have never seen anyone get injured on a little hit like that.
Fractured jaw
Clean play.
I'm so surprised that nobody is talking about how close his skate came to the other guys Throat.
Not even a big hit just an average step up check. Dudes little, he’s not mcdavid or Matthew’s he needs to learn quick he can’t play with his head down.
Didn't even look like that bad of a hit, surprised it broke his jaw. Impact must've just hit him in the perfect spot
Fighting is justified as punishment for dirty hits … now you are expected to fight after each and every hit, clean or not
I hate Bedard this makes me soo happy
See that flying knife in the air when he flipped around. That could’ve been another bad incident. 👎🏽
Go Bedard!
Not sure how the league doesn't look at this a little closer.. could be considered clean but it's a real shame for Bedard and the All Star game
Dang it .
Orr would ov got up,and kicked the shit out of the guy…
Love tap in orrs day…..
He just think that he can do anything. No, he can't and this is the way to stop him. Clean and no dirty hit.
He should be more cautious he worried too much to have the puck not seeing danger coming
His Jaw broke
Bedard called for his mommy but she was (getting) busy.
Welcome to the NHL, bud. Just make ya a Lil stronger now. 💪
Don’t touch the rookie
It's amazing that this never happened to Patrick Kane or Datsyuk in their careers. Keep your head up Connor. Get well soon.
This is the result of playing to much no touch hockey in Canada. Don't lead with your face. It doesn't matter how well you can stick handle and ice dance in the NHL you will be smoked. Hope he gets better soon.
He put his shoulder directly into Bedard's jaw and then raised his is forearm to finish the play. I believe the league has a rule against blows to the head.
Kid has a glass jaw…wasn't even really a hit, he ran into Smith.
Start dangling up
The middle with your head down expect to lose your head
Wasn’t even close to dirty. Keep your head up kid.
Ask marc savard
1: kudos to everyone not babying bedard.
2: do we all remember Crosby loosing two teeth and still scoring in the same game in his first years and then being called crybaby Crosby. And this is a “big hit”? Not even a penguins fan just saying, holy.
When I heard about this I thought it was a dirty hit but now watching this there's clearly nothing dirty about it.
