Was also at the game last night. Bedard is obviously a special talent. But his lack.of defense at times was highly noticeable.
There were 3 kids probably around 10 behind me from the same hockey team, obviously massive Bedard fans as they gushed over everything he did. I asked them who their favorite teams were, one Oil one Flames one Nucks. I asked if the Nucks got Bedard would the other two cheer for them and they said no but they will cheer for Bedard. By the 3rd period, one of them said to the other two "Bedard really doesn't like to play defense sometimes, does he?"
It was definitely noticeable at the game. He is still gonna be something special and I imagine it will be easily worked on as he progresses.
