That’s wild I have the same birthday as Bedard. 4 years older and less accomplished🤣
I’m not that knowledgeable
I have same birthday too as bedard
Lol. You should measure your accomplishments against your own capabilities, not against anyone else's abilities. Especially not against genetic freaks like pro hockey players.
OR PURSUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND GET WEALTHY......THEIR! ANYONE CAN ACCOMPLISH THAT IF YA PUT YOUR MIND INTO IT
I am 27 now. Seeing kids drafted born in the year 07 now is wild. Time goes on eh lol
This drives me nuts sometimes. Just because a player is a star does not necessarily mean he will make a good Captain. Putting pucks in the net is a lot different than having great people skills and leadership ability
There have been great Captains who were superstars, but also there have been guys may not have been, but were by far the best leaders. Like George Armstrong for the Leafs in the 1960s, or Alex Delvecchio in Detroit in the 60s, both of those players were great players, but they weren't the Superstar on their team. For Armstrong, Dave Keon and Frank Mahovlich were the Superstars up front and Tim Horton on the back end. Delvecchio was more of a star, but Gordie Howe who was arguably the greatest player to ever play the game (I can see arguments for Orr also). Even Bobby Orr, the greatest defenseman to ever play the game, was not the captain of his team, it was Johnny Bucyk, who was definitely the most deserving.
This whole idea that the best player must be the captain is ludicrous.
Plus, one of the main reasons the Blackhawks sucked last year was the Bedard refused to play a responsible game, and got the most shifts of almost any forward in the league. The Blackhawks were always playing short-handed.
Foligno has always seemed like the leader of the team, definitely fits the captain mold better than Bedard does now
@WFM I do think, though, in some years down the road, we'll see Bedard with an 'A' on his sweater, kinda like Kaner. As for a 'C', well...we'll see if he's got those kind of leadership chops, he'd have to be as much a leader as Foligno to be there.
0:56 seeing Nick Foligno with hair doesn’t look right bro 😂
I have this weird feeling that Hawks r gonna have the same kinda season the Flyers did last season. Ppl predict them to finish bottom 10% but they'll find themselves playing meaningful games in April.
As a hawks fan..thank you for the nice words😩
I hope so because if they play meaningful games and are still in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs. One good stretch of games can determine the hawks chances of making it to the wild card. NHL is unpredictable

A lot of people thought he wa gonna be a lot better but he needs guys around him and no rush, he will be a franchise superstar
I thought he was gunna be worse than he was.
@@Derek_Reynolds How would you see him as being worse with his kind of skill I mean he's the best prospect since McDavid and has put up solid numbers with who he did have around him. No hate but I think Bedard on his own practically besides Kurashev was amazing and can only get better
He needs to be a two way player like Crosby. He will make the team much better if he becomes that. He's so young, after a couple of more season if they can coach him to do that, he could be the best all around player in the league.
@@trvman1 I think if he's coached right and guided right by guys like Foligno and the other vets brought to the team he will get a stronger all around game and mature, but for his age he takes media very well so he's doing well off ice but on ice is what will come with experience in the NHL.
@@R376yt didn’t think he was gunna adjust to the nhl speed and size this easily
I could see nazar getting some 1st line minutes with bedard
I completely agree. If the Hawks are gonna choose a Captain this year, it should be Foligno, it is WAY too early for Bedard for the simple reason is that I don't see Bedard able to fire a locker room up or get the attention of everyone in said locker room when they're crapping the bed, Foligno would.
I agree they should not give bedzy the “C” but I do think that this year they give him the “A”
Being a hawks fan since 2009 I really hope to see at least a playoff spot soonish, I was so spoiled with such a good club for so long. But let’s go HAWKS
Foligno for captain and I think tha Bedard and kurashev have great chemistry, would love to keep them together
Bertuzzi and Hall are the two guys I am most interested in seeing play alongside Bedard. We Hawks fans got robbed of seeing what Hall and Bedard could do together due to the injury. This roster could be a fun dark horse for the final wild card spot in the West if the majority of the guys can stay healthy
I don't have too much of an opinion on the Hawks lineup, but I would like to see Taylor Hall do well wherever he is. I always liked him on the Oilers.
@@philip1982 I've always been a fan of Hall and I just want him to catch a break health wise. Hopefully this is a big bounce back and healthy year for him
Defense is still likely going to keep them out of the playoffs, but they should be exciting to watch. I suspect we'll see a lot of high scoring games
@@KingSalemence3 100% agree with you there. But it is an improved d group from last season and very valuable veteran experience that Martinez and Brodie bring to guide the young guys on the blue line. This should be one of the more enjoyable to watch seasons in quite a few seasons
I’d rather see Nick Lardis on Bedard’s wing
As a hawks fan the first line is pretty clear, at least to start. It will be Kurachev centering Bedard and Bertuzzi. The chemistry developed between those two is undeniable and can not be broken up unless Kurachev starts to slip. Additionally Bertuzzi is the big scrappy guy that’s needed to protect a small guy like Bedard.
You have to try out the trio of Bertuzzi - Bedard - Teravainen for a large chunk of games. If Kurashev could thrive the way he did last year playing with Bedard just imagine what Bertuzzi & Turbo could do
Foligno has been a leader since he joined the team. He's been a great help to a lot of the guys. And he's helped get a lot of the guys joining for next season interested. I wouldn't call him a stop gap at all. Guy has acted a true captain.
Teräväinen thinks fast with puck and he just might best fit for Bedard, but he could also be the guy to elevate line 2 to be competitive.
But sure hope I get to see them try that Bertuzzi- Bedard-Turbo line.
Does he have to be captain? Should captaincy be about leadership or stats? Look a bedard during interviews. Is that a captain?
Interviews dont show what a guy is like in the dressing room. After seeing him at the WJC and in Juniors he is definitely a leader
He will definitely make a good captain but I don’t think he’s there yet. Should give it to Foligno for his last few years then he’ll be ready.
Foligno the captain or do 3 Alternates no captain. And have Bedard on of the A’s. P.s you got me hard when you mention Brandon Saad😂😂😂
I’m geeking the fuck out On my way! To work right now. Thinking about this years hockey season…
From a hawks fan, I think Bedard and Kurashev will end up playing on the top line with bertuzzi, terravianen, and maybe even Hall if he's healthy. Contrary to most though, I think the Hawks need to shuffle Vlasic and Korchisnki with Jones on the top d pair. Korchisnki will eventually play with Levshunov as our future top pair, but giving Korchisnki that feel of top line minuets would be benefitial for his developmemt
No way kurashev is on the first line over teuvo and bertuzzi, you build up the teuvo Bert bedard chemistry because that’s your top 6 for the next 3 years I like kurashev but people over hype him because of him and bedards connection he’s gonna have to prove himself without bedard to stack up his points, also bedard needs a guy like teuvo that is a penalty killer and play maker aswell as bertuzzi who will stick up for bedard and go into the greasy areas. The only thing kurashev has over them in chemistry but you have to sacrifice that and build up the Chem for your possible first line for the next 3 years, a Bertuzzi bedard and kurashev line is a big defensive liability
@@MlNlclips Kurashev is only 23 though, he still has time to develop, he has a 54 point season behind him, Terravainen had about the same amount of points on a much better team, Bertuzzi has a 40 point season also playing on a much better team. That says something about Kurashev playing on a team with only 52 points
@LandonMotz it's easier to put up numbers on a bad team
wdym lol
@@LandonMotz your right kurashev is only 23 and his points were inflated due to bedards great playmaking/ passing
He will have to prove himself because when bedard wasn’t on his line he wasn’t getting any points, teuvo and Bert have had multiple 40+ point seasons so they already proved themselves as consistent top 6 guys
Been a hawks fan since 2013. Looking forward to this new era of Chicago hockey!
Taylor halls play making could help bedard put up a few more goals
It reminds me that in his first year , crosby got Lemieux as a mentor....
I mean ... that's unreal.
100% agree about the captaincy. Let’s the guy learn how to play at an elite level before making him a captain. Don’t get me wrong, there are some young players that display incredible leadership qualities, but you can’t tell me that putting an A on their chest and letting a veteran carry the C is unreasonable. Hell, I love Sid, but he had the C too soon(although it didn’t backfire). Does Beds know how to lead an NHL team? Don’t pretend he does as a sophomore. He has immense potential, and could reach C by 3-5 years, but if the young talents are pushed into the C role too early they can’t learn from the best leaders.
And I say this a man who has become a leader younger than most, in very different fields, but a leader nonetheless. I wanted leadership when I was very young, got denied because of my age, and now appreciate that it didn’t happen earlier. I never wanted it for ego, but knew I was capable. As I’ve gotten older, I still know I was always capable, but the responsibility is next level. Let go of the ego, let the veterans show you how it’s done. Trust in your peers to show you how to do it. I’d say you need at least 5-7 years experience to become a leader in whatever field you’re in. I’m always skeptical of very young captains. Skill and talent does not equal leadership. But I suppose promoting the new star is a moneymaker. 🤷♂️. And sometimes it works.
Terevanen is very good but always wounded for the rest , i think its all good additions
Given how well he handled the pressure last year I had thought Bedard would become the youngest-ever captain this fall but I would be impressed with the organization (for the first time maybe ever) if they held off and gave him a bit more time without that extra mantle, given that he's 19 and already 1C for an NHL team
last year they were the worst team in the league but bedard carried them, with bedard having better forwards with him this season is gonna be exciting
I always find it weird when teams throw captaincy and alternates to the most talented players. The captain needs to be experienced, tough, a leader and well respected by his teammates, i also get that things are different in a rebuild most vets are sold off, but idk something feels off about adding pressure to young guys that are already under a lot of pressure.
cant wait for next season. thing are getting crazy talented
I’ve been impressed by Coach Richardson the most. I watched every game past 15’ish seasons, and this current team plays their asses off for him. Hawks are right there, if the goalies play like last season THE BLACKHAWKS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. this club plays the game right. I’ve been waiting for no production Reese Johnson and Entwistle’s upgrades for a few seasons, finally happened!!
As a defensive coach the defense has been abysmal.
The team definitely is growing but I'm expecting to see them contend for a wildcard spot at least. The Bedard-Kurashev duo was fantastic last season. Also, please take care of my boy Mikheyev, he was doomed by the narrative here in Van and I want to see him do good with new scenery and some more confidence over the summer.
How good do you think he can be? What’s his play style?
I really think Bedard abd Bedard will fit really well with Bedard
Foligno and McKenzie; some good Sudbury connection in this vid.
Projected top 2 lines will make me watch ez
ya im genuinely so exited to watch some hawk games next year,
Most importantly, dont blindly follow the highest scorer = captain formula. Being really good at scoring doesn't automatically mean you can be a great leader.
I’m gonna miss turbo in Carolina
Bertuzzi and Teravainen would be ideal, but I imagine Kurashev will at least get a shot. Kurashev benefitted heavily from Bedard, he’s a skilled guy but he can’t drive play at all or make plays like Teravainen. Kurashev could just take another step in his development but Turbos playmaking, Bedards shooting, and net front from Bertuzzi just seems like a very synergistic combination.
Teuvo and Kurashev will likely click with Beds the best.
why not do the crosby, toews, mcdavid thing? Between the 3 of them, there's 6 cups? lmao
Yeah except they rushed it with McCupless and look were EDM is at now. No cups in 10 years with the best players in the league.
@@jdog345 let me know if I need to spell out my joke for you.
@@middleearthtroll6183 glad to know at least you are joking. The way Oilers fans glaze him I think most of them think he’s won them 7 cups.
@@jdog345 no kidding its disgusting
@@middleearthtroll6183 oh my god are championships everything for you guye?
I don't think hawks are playoff bound. They'd need a lot of things to go their way to make the 2nd wild card spot but I also don't think they'll be eliminated from contention until fairly late into the season.
I agree with Foligno as captain instead of Bedard,why put this much pressure/responsibility on your marquee player this early in his career?
I see the Hawks finishing in the high 70's, low 80's next year.
I think if they were gonna give the C to Foligno last year would've been the one to do it
I'm sarced as a wild fan a god help it's 2016 all over again
hawks forward group looks better than the flames this year not gonna lie :( -Flames fan
Isn’t it the Crosby model though
they had already drafted Malkin and Fleury before they got Crosby. They splurged big coming out of the lockout to surround Crosby with good players and it completely fizzled except for Gonchar as Leclair and Palffy were duds by then. Recchi was good too, Roberts as well, at least for a bit.
@@rv2167 Crosby effect expect Chicago can’t replicate it
Chicago is not going to name a gap captain, they are going to wait, until Bedsy will be ready and name him captain, for the rest of his time with the franchise. I think this is the most likley case, as they want a captain that can reflect what Twoes stood for. And Unlike Kane, Bedsy is captain material. But this is my opinion!
Yeah, no. No way in hell after 15+ years would the captains go from: Toews -> Foligno -> Bedard
ITS TEUVO TIME AGAIN
Feels the same to me nub
I see Kane returning to Chicago for a farewell season to play with Bedard.
He's already signed by the Wings. But you got Bertuzzi now :(
@@blakegreig3151 I know he signed with Detroit, but that doesn't mean he can't/won't sign with Chicago next year or the year after that. As I said, "farewell season" which means "season before retiring". Or maybe he pulls Modano and signs a 10-day contract to retire as a Hawk.
@@siimtokke3461 i think you're just nostalgic. The blackhawks are going in a different direction and kane tbh wants to go to either a contender or maybe home to buffalo
@@ethanparker7900 Chicago might be a contender (or at least in the conversation) in 3 to 4 years. So why wouldn't he sign in Chicago?
The talk that Kane will go to Buffalo is a little "hopeful". The first time this was raised was after the 2010 Cup win, then again during their 2013-2015 run, then when Chicago was declining, the next time was when Kane asked for a trade, next time when he entered the FA after his contract ran out. So, there was a whole lot of talk and he never signed there. I'm surprised that this year Buffalo wasn't in the conversation when Kane was FA.
@@siimtokke3461 the hawks don't want to sign him dude at this point it is more them than it is him. Just admit you're nostalgic and resistant of change and move on its alright
If you follow the mcdavid way of doing things and giving bedard captain then youll never win a cup , do not follow mdavids way of making a team
45 g 50 assists next year
Who really think an 18 year old should be captain of a hockey team full of much more mature men? How would you even take it seriously?
poor mcdavid and the oilers.

"The Blackhawks weren't very good in bedards first season in the league!"
"Its looking like the second season is going to be more interesting!"
"It didn't feel like bedard had much help at all!"
Corey Perry and Bedard's Mom have nonstop chemistry. I say they bring back Perry and we see take out Bedard for his Mom and get some real hockey.
bro stfu. so old of a joke no one finds it funny no more and i never did at all. I mean even bedard himself said nothing of that nature happened and he's clearly annoyed ab it. I mean think about how those jokes affect him and his family and even perry's family i mean perry is happily married with kids. If these dumb jokes keep happening, it can be considered defamation to some and also his wife might start to question the reality of this. Even the littlest jokes can possibly cause irreparable damage to relationships. Jokes like this is exactly why I have started to lose love for the game in recent times. Just very disappointing that morons like that have to ruin it. I am all up for a good joke but not if it is about people's family and close friends.
