Reichel > Bedard confirmedChecking on some stats for Bedard peers: Will Smith, Gavin Brindley, Ryan Leonard combined-
14GP 1G 1A
Reichel 3G 4A in 5 games.
Fiddy?
Reichel plays on a line with Peterka and DELs Stachowiak. He looks good and can use his speed. Most of the time Peterka is creating when they are in the offensive Zone, Reichel looks best in transition.Reichel seems like hes putting up good numbers.
And Turris over Kane and Mueller instead of Toews.Let's be real....Fiddy would rather have Carlsson or Fantilli than Bedard.

Let's hope Musto doesn't see thatReichel > Bedard confirmed

Again, tell that to Latvia after beating US for Bronze in 2020.lol, no its not.
Some Europeans care, no one said otherwise.
In NA, many die hard fans will tune in to these tourneys to see how their NHL team's young players fare - winning is secondary.Some Europeans care, no one said otherwise.
Now show me the big parades when Canada or the US win. You know, where the majority of hockey fans are.
Yeah, I mean its hockey, and something to watch during the day time after your NHL team is eliminated from real hockey. But I can't think of a single Canadian (or American) that has to watch and cheer on their nation, and then celebrate when their country wins.In NA, many die hard fans will tune in to these tourneys to see how their NHL team's young players fare - winning is secondary.
This started with the comment that this is a "dinky little tournament". My response is about perspective. To Europeans, this is their Stanley Cup. As to where the majority of hockey fans are, I would offer likely as many hockey fans in Europe as there are here. The majority of NHL are here. European fans likely support both own leagues and NHL.Some Europeans care, no one said otherwise.

It is a little tournament compared to almost every other hockey tournament/playoffs.This started with the comment that this is a "dinky little tournament". My response is about perspective.

Don't forget Dan Fritsche instead of Seabrook.And Turris over Kane and Mueller instead of Toews.
I remember that.Don't forget Dan Fritsche instead of Seabrook.
So basically 50 you're providing a public service .. letting all us Hawk fans know Bedard isn't doing so well right now or for the last part of the season. I guess we wouldn't have noticed without your earnest reporting so .. I guess .. thanks .. and keep up the good work!I NEVER said I wanted Carlsson or Fantillu over Bedard....and I rejoiced as everyone did when we got the #1in the lottery lsst draft..
So do not ascribe words to me that I never said...
I do not hate Bedard...I just pointed out tgectruth ..he HAS been sagging last 4 games and 2 periods of the game before that...And others even in the media (The Hockey Writers) have headlined this in an article.
So stop denying the facts and his benching...This shoukd not be happening to such actalent and I do notcaccept the onlyc18 excuse.
They chose hom to be on Tram Canada...They chose hom to be a contributor on the top 2 lines ...He started off well proving he should be a top contributor.. but then he became ineffective and was surpassed by others who stepped up their game and got better as the tournament went on.
Hevis in a funk and deserves to lose his spot on a top 2vline.
I do not think he is suited to beca suooirt player on a bottom line with limited minutes and no pp time.
He basically lost his job and confidence of the coach that he could help them win.
This is all on Bedard...maybe the long grind of a pro sesson got to hom.He also sagged last 14 games forvthe Hawks..nobody suggests that was because he18.
Rather I think the mental effects of all that Blackhawks losing got to him..
But at the WHC Canada is wining ..so that should not have effected him
But in any case when things go well for holim...I joining praising to the rafters..but when his performance saggs to pretty useless in helping the team,he bears criticism albeit tempered with concern..
So do not blame me for this...it is all on Bedard himself...not elevating his game but rather sagging and in the last game hurting his team with a behind the play cross-check that gave Checkia the momentum to score on the ensuing PP and continuing with the momentum to get another goal late to tie the game ...Canada might have lost this game if not for the guy who has stepped up his gane.. Dylan Cozems ..
Ifvyou cannot stand the heat ...get out of the Kitchen or in this case lose the trust of your coach and get benched.
Believe me ..I am not revelklng Bedard failing...II do not hatevhom..I cheer For him... BUT, I an disappointed and also CONCERNED ....we are not seeing his normal effort to create and generate shots on the attack..He seems to not be clicking with linemates.as a result his coach is limiting his usage or finally benching him.
But this Gwnerational Bedard is beyond criticism for this Fail ..is laughable.. he SHOULD face the heat and play better if he wants shift tome back.
