Not liking this predicition. Bedard has to be back by the 19th against the Hurricanes. Otherwise my kids (or me) will not be able to see him live this year.My thinking is maybe he
is back for the Detroit game on Feb 25th..still leaves 24 games on the schedule for him to mess up our race to last place in the Tank Battle with SJ...
If that were true, he likely wouldn't still be practicing in a no contact jersey.Bedard likely ready a week ago and only remains out to fuel the tank. So short term pain for long term gain. Nevertheless, such BS.
There is no reason to rush him back. Season lost shortly after it started. But I would bet you dimes to dollars if the Hawks were playing any meaningful games, he would be back now. Dr's tend to be conservative as to return to work/play date.If that were true, he likely wouldn't still be practicing in a no contact jersey.
It'll be 5 weeks tomorrow, they said recovery would be 6-8 weeks. My guess is either Wednesday 2/21 against the Flyers, Friday 2/23 against Winnipeg or Sunday 2/25 against Detroit.There is no reason to rush him back. Season lost shortly after it started.

If he can't play Tuesday vs Canucks, how about Thursday vs Sid/Pens?

Thank God. Finally something to watch for again.
Back to losing by 2 goals instead of 3 or 4.We are so back
f*** you, Brock Faber!Good, the Bedard Calder season can continue.
He is a good player and we really need young RHDs for the future; I'd love it if he was here. But his fans have been cocky in that main boards thread for a long while now, longer than Bedard has been out.Hey now, Faber's a damn good player. Wish we had a blueliner like him.
His fans pushing for him with arguments that essentially boil down to anyone that doesn't watch every second of his ice time aren't qualified to say that another rookie is having a better year than him are a tad much, though.
Last time Bedard wore the fish bowl was in the WJC.... and he dominated... can't wait.
I think it'll get there eventually.These guys should all wear full shields. But I digress...
