BEST OF CONNOR BEDARD | 2023 IIHF WORLD JUNIORS

Canadian phenom Connor Bedard strung together the best scoring performance at a world junior hockey championship in 20 years, leading his country to its 20th gold medal! Here are some of Bedard's best plays of the tournament

The fact it required a 13 minute video to have all of bedards highlights from 1 tourney is insane !

I can't imagine the pressure off ice and on this kid must face. The best highlight is his gold medal post-game interview where he didn't want to talk about what he accomplished, he wanted to talk about what the team accomplished.
A class act already at 17, and a credit to his parents and hockey organizations.
(rumour has it Slovakia is still looking for 4 jocks)

That OT goal against Slovakia was unreal. Reminiscent of Bobby Orr when it looked like he was the only one that knew how to skate or play hockey at times!

I'm glad the highlights aren't just his goals, but plays like that reverse toe pick pass that might otherwise be missed!

That diving hook saucer pass in the final game left me speechless.

It's not just the shots he takes, but the shots he doesn't take despite knowing he has a scoring chance. He trusts and respects his teammates.

One thing I like about Bedard is the amount of grit he has. Crosby is similar, both are highly talented players who aren't afraid to make grunt level plays. Crosby recently went feet first into the boards to keep a puck in the offensive zone and Bedard at the world juniors dove to sweep the puck onto his teammate's stick. These types of plays are what separate the greatest from the great.

Bedard to Korchinski is a thing of beauty. It will be for years to come 🤗

Amazing player. Joshua Roy did an amazing job too

This kid holds the stick the proper way. His left elbow is out giving more flexibility and quicker reactions with the puck. Turn pivot shoot much quicker than the arm against the body. When the arm is against the body it restricts passing shooting etc. some players to pass to there off side will need to turn there entire body in the direction of the pass. Amazing hockey player.

Canada had stellar goaltending. Plenty of blocked shots too, sacrifice grit an heart . Wow what did we just witness! Thanks TSN

Heard a lot of hype about this kid, but after watching these highlights, I think it's safe to say it's not overstated. Excited to see how he'll do in the NHL. Still pretty young, but these highlights are reminiscent of the Jack Hughes prospective highlights to me. You never know how they'll do off the bat if they join and start playing so young, but I think he's got a bright future.

I’m really gonna miss this year’s World Juniors. I’m Canadian but is Was fun watching this in person. But it was so entertaining watching every team. Can’t wait for it to be back in Halifax and Moncton.

Popping bottles from the crease is insane. The amount of lift and velocity he gets on his snapshots is crazy

[adopal]

That slo mo of his eyes when he shoots that sharp angle shot is insane. You can literally see his decision making in real time and as soon as he sees that corner open he instantly releases it.

Love that Heave Away is the goal song! Real maritime feel there

[nhlvan]

Love that TSN posts all these wjc highlights now!

[davidrobins]

A real delight to watch this young man play hockey. He's a treasure.

[henrypeters]

This World Juniors was must watch TV... Bedard is GOATED already after this tournament

[nathannealon]

This kid is insanely good he's gunna be a legend in the NHL. He only 17. Were looking at the next Crosby right now. Look at 12:22 the guy is already skating hard to the net knowing there's an opportunity. You don't see that at all even in the NHL.
