this type of shot loading is most certainly not unique to Bedard, and it's calling shooting of a C-cut, very common way to shoot that all pros are using. Except it somehow gets frown upon by all the shooting coaching purists since technically a C-cut takes you sideways so you aren't gliding towards your target following your shot. So guys like Tim Turk way the front leg must be pointing straight @ the target, which of course makes any rotation of that leg practically impossible since it's not on any edge.
Thanks for the comment! I could’ve worded this better, but I agree-Bedard definitely isn’t the only player who shoots like this. Ovechkin often likes to shoot off his inside edge, especially on one-timers. That said, Bedard does seem to use this technique more frequently than most other players. For example, Matthews tends to shoot with his foot more straight, like you mentioned. At the end of the day, these guys have a ton of tools in their toolbox. To be effective, you need to be able to shoot off your inside edge, outside edge, left foot, and right foot. That said, I wouldn’t say Bedard is doing a true C-cut here. A C-cut is a pretty distinct semicircular movement, and what he’s doing is more of a weight transition. He starts in a wide base, shifts his weight briefly onto his inside edge, and his leg pops out straight almost immediately after. Because this happens so quickly, it doesn’t seem like his momentum really changes.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Jesus has a great plan for you ❤️✝️
