Generational talent Connor Bedard proves he has earned high expectations
Long before Canada won this year’s world junior hockey championship, everyone had already decided what the story was.Whether he took hold of the tournament and began shaking or instead let it slip his grasp, these past two weeks were always going to be a Connor Bedard showcase.
On Thursday night, Bedard was held without a point as Dylan Guenther had two goals – including the winner in overtime – and one assist as Canada beat Czechia 3-2. The downward title is the hard one to arrange. The Stanley Cup is there every year, but there are only so many Connor Bedards. Obviously, Bedard is about to get nice and rich. Wherever he lands , he becomes a Prince of the City. It’s not bad work.Jack Hughes was a generational talent, but they’re still trying to figure out which generation.
Generational player isn’t scoring a bunch of highlight goals. It’s being in the mix for trophies for many consecutive years, and winning at least a couple. The NHL has somehow managed to separate the two things. So much so that the word “generational” is beginning to feel like a curse.
