Connor Bedard had the FUNNIEST warmup in NHL history 🤣☠️

[PhilGoesHollywood]

He didn’t forget his stick. He leaves it in a certain spot as part of a superstition prior to taking the ice, equipment staff didn’t know this and moved it on him. This news was all over the local post game

[raycunniff]

I just realized that nhl refs might be the chillest people of all time

[Boyso]

That was an awesome moment with Sunderland. “Welcome back Sid, welcome to the NHL Connor and then It’s Showtime boys”. That alone would get me fired up

[JbBackFeeble]

The vets paid his fine so he could do it without a bucket so the fans could see his face. It was just bedard. Most of the rookies did this because vets are wanting their new stars to be liked and be more personal with fans as it helps promoting the team

The Welcome by the ref was goated for sure, I can guaranted, I bet that will show up in a documantary!

“Welcome to the NHL man” seconds before puck drop must be the greatest feeling ever

[oddityallsee]

He has good flow. I think his nerves got the best of him in his first few shifts. He seemed a bit lost for lack of better words. Having said that, once his nerves calmed down, he went and did his thing. Love watching him.

No fine. A long lasting tradition of nhl rookies talking their first skate without the helmet.

[jamesmorrison]

It’s gotta feel so good hearing “welcome to the nhl man”

[Kaynos]

Nice greetings from the Ref to both players !

[mikedelvecchio]

Bro the nhl is over pushing this kid and it’s painful. I’m convinced he can blink and they’ll post it somewhere. The highlights will come he’s gonna be great. But it’s gotta be harder on bedard knowing if he even breathes he’ll be posted on the internet.

Sid is a class act for sure. Been in the league for a long time. I'm not a Penguins fan, but, I respect Sidney Crosby.

He didn’t forget his stick, he has a superstition about his stick so he leaves it outside of the locker room and the team manager didn’t know that so he moved it so then Connor didn’t know were it was till he checked the locker room

[spereverezoff]

He didn’t forget his stick the equipment staff moved it

[jambertin]

"Sid, welcome back for another season. Connor, Welcome to the NHL man" very cool moment.

[RMKBeatsFL]

All the rookie first warm ups go no bucket… the team pays for it obviously.

[chipmerrill]

No one has ever been under a microscope like this kid. Let him enjoy it.

[SherryLee-se]

That's priceless! This shows hes humbke & human🩵! Crosby is such a classy pro💛! This is a cool video 🥰

[JDonzsabres]

Buckies? Warmies? Jesse 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️, just stop talking

[NoMoreQQ]

If you were a hockey fan you would know that the rookies have been taking the ice without a helmet.
