Bedard is itching to get back into the game so badly that veteran Nick Foligno said that trainers have asked him for help to keep Bedard from have any setbacks.
"He's dying. It's pretty funny; the trainers were like, 'Hey, you kind of got to help us, he's not going to listen to us, so you've got to help us keep him at bay here a little bit.' So, it's been pretty funny."
"He's like, 'I feel fine.' I'm like, 'Man, just pump the brakes a little bit.' But that's who he is. That's why you love him, and I'm sure he'll come back an even better version of himself, which is a scary thought." - Nick Foligno, NHL.com
