BEST OF CONNOR BEDARD | 2023 IIHF WORLD JUNIORS

Mozilla Columbus third round pick, oh look at him at this point in the game, two defensive activations and Bernard is the last man back for the last guy that came in on the puck, he takes it wide, this Puck actually goes comes out of control, the defender's stick and then doubles. hits it, catches it late under the stick fozial looks like Regina Pat practice by suhana for a great goal to get Canada back into the game required by the stakeholders and they have victory in their sails now you turn the puck against this group you're in trouble, but the art seeps through, he gets the breakaway pass and says he's definitely going to go that far on this play.

Good play by Stan Colvin, he gets clean to his right pivot and just a quick pull towards the stick. side toss, he doesn't lose even a bit of overall momentum on that nice pivot and beats Wolf cleanly. Zellweger pushes him back through Bernard, walks him and shoots. We've seen this before, this superior glove, nothing complex about this play. First half credit for being in front of the net, he knows One's Gonna Whistle by the ears, but that's a back foot kick, almost a casual throw from Bedard, there's nothing to see, the goalkeeper is there, They know the shot is coming, they remove the other side of the net that shoots. a short side but he's so accurate he comes off his stick so fast and that's three for Connor Bedard who makes it look like a warm up shot and beats goalkeepers 12 goals in his

world

junior career, he's now tied for third place in all of Canada. times list with Eric Lind Ross and Jeff Carter one behind John Tavares for second place two behind Jordan Eberly for the all-time lead back to Bedard steps passing over Gunther Gunther back to Bernard Gunther's shot score and they'll walk away again, how about the no-look dart type?

What am I looking at? He's not the guy who's getting it. That's Gunther's second game. That one works so well. Why don't we separate the camera while you're at it? That's your Second, here's the top of the two-man game we're going through, we're going to come back, we're going to pass, we're going to come back, it's like there's no one else on the ice except 16 and 11, and Gunther He'll make a living sitting and Firing single shots from there in the engagement circle You're my friend. You're having your first New Year's Eve in Halifax. Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

It works and shoots. Joshua, his first Bernard. final attacks the middle breaks the defense draws everyone to him oh a little mishandling on Joshua's stick scores a laser beam was in for about a nanosecond but the dart is hit again three feet from the goal line just another throw that has a A scratch on our head The shooters usually know you know it under a sight so I'm going to take a look to make sure this one went in but it opened oh man I'm not sure what happened and you see it Grimace on the launch, oh my god, barely. even ripples the top mesh look at his eyes scanning scanning im gonna shoot now lean on this thing maybe caught a piece on the side of oshkan's head too and that's another target for conor mcdarta not many of you i think he probably should get a assist on the walk on the wall goal, which would be a four point game, so here's what a couple of things have happened here, it's 13 goals now for the criminals' career, he's one behind Jordan Eberly in the game of all time. leader, he's now tied with Jason Allison for sixth on the all-time points list with tonight's four points, yeah, so 23 points, uh, he's not drafted, he's not old enough to be drafted, man oh man after the video review we have a good goal. comes off the bench stankovich works it in the corners takes control stays there drops it here's an opportunity watch with a rebound shot there I want to start for Canada come forward again the offense hitting on this fake pass with Conover marking everyone thinks that he's going to throw this Rook from the short side, but he gives it back to Joshua Law, the limbo of diving back to steal the post and now he has to overreact to the middle and that's a great shot from Joshua. stay calm look at Bedard and Bedard comes back after that Bernard shows that the pass required OMG what a one-timer from Tyson Hines Bernard on the check for four keeps him alive in the stanko but he just taunts him and ties it up and Hines it goes. just above the glove perfect pass not too hard right in the middle of the ice and Hines in another extended check for four for Canada beats Lynn cleanly above the glove to make three nothing Canada and by the way about 2,000 Canadian fans already reserved tickets pedard He twists a stick and pushes it away from the tow bar to get it out of there just in time.

That's not easy to do. Look at this, how about this? It's coercion if you fail. Robertson's righty will be there with those incredible stick skills. let's make it one of the members of the swedish team asked me why you say wrong instead of shooting wrong score hard the assist that ties the individual tournament an all-time points record from karzynski's goal fortinsky got his first the fast throw Wrists are another turnover by Sandy Pelican, he just throws it around the backboard after four checks. Bernard holds him up to get Jesse active and catches Limbaugh talking about the guy in front of the net, moving to the right of him just a fraction, leaving the short side over his shoulder. open and bircheski says you know what Connor, you're not the only one who could go on the short side of a goalie on a tight angle, so with that assist, Connor Bedard ties the Canadian record for points in a single tournament of 18 set by Dale McCourt in 1977, matched by Braden.

Shen in 2011 and ties Eric Lindross' Canadian all-time points record of 31, set in three

world

juniors

1990, '91 and '92. Let's slide that down so Stankovich remains. Coleman's fans in the shot try to counter him and they do, but he's retired now. off stolen by Stankovic Foreign scored as the

best

scorer Ken has ever seen in this tournament Grant Clark tied up lets him fall back shoots this guy in it and Bernard holds the line Bernard steps back with him slides in again please stop oh they could bring the building down tonight okay this kid is out of this world check him out there's one there's two and one more he dances with the whole team in overtime it must be his fifth shot after so many opportunities, he gets it back and wants to try, guys, one. -against one, you shouldn't be able to do this against this level of competition the night he passed Jordan Air Balloon for most goals for Candler Road Jr.

He does what Everly did. He scores great goals, which is a calling for all ages. We'll be watching this one for years, come on, come on, Connor Bedard putting on a show Devastation for the Slovaks who gave the Canadians all they could handle. It had to be him. It's his turn in his world. We just live in it like they do. d Hope makes it back to back games for Kenny Connors as Del Mastro advances, now the kid attacks again for each team and faces Joshua this time, because Snake was always in trouble and the guard worked to hit gold back.

After this, he tries to find the disk and find the man. They tie a stick to him to defeat Bedard and he is left out in front of the lead at home. Nice pass from Delmastro to Bedard and that's huge for Canada. themselves again in this game
