Hockey fans are eagerly awaiting the showdown between the Chicago Blackhawks and Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night, or rather the “Connor Bedard vs. Connor McDavid” showdown.
True to form, the Hawks rookie did not want to get too excited regarding this scenario of playing once morest the Oilers captain. The 18-year-old forward obviously recognizes McDavid’s talent and even he knows very well that he will not be able to imitate him on an ice rink.
“I try to always watch him. I wish I might apply it to my game. I don’t think I can move that fast, but he’s the best player in the world and it’s so nice to watch him play,” he told Tracey. Myers of NHL.com.
“He was really good to me this summer, he gave me some advice. He is a humble person and it was good to be able to spend time with him,” he added at a press briefing on Tuesday regarding the man he had the chance to meet this summer.
Bedard is having an excellent start to the season for his debut in the Bettman circuit. The first pick of the last draft amassed 11 goals and 23 points in 27 games.
Like the Oilers, McDavid had a more difficult start to the season by his standards, but the machine has been well underway for a few games. The 26-year-old has 36 points in 23 games. He has also obtained 23 points in his last nine games alone.
