Connor Bedard's Thoughts On Sidney Crosby Captured On Hot Mic
Connor Bedard is off to a hot start in his NHL career. One area of the game he struggled with on opening night though was faceoffs. The 18-year-old ended up going 2-11 on the faceoff dot. Interestingly, he lost every faceoff he took against Sidney Crosby. This lead to him complimenting the superstar in a conversation that was caught on a hot mic.
Bedard Praises Crosby's Faceoff Skills
In a new video making its rounds throughout hockey social media, Connor Bedard can be heard discussing faceoffs with one of the on-ice officials from his first career game.

Blackhawks Are Must Watch Television
Luckily, Bedard was able to improve on faceoffs during his second game against the Boston Bruins. He went 6-6 to improve his season faceoffs to 8-17. Still not a great percentage, but a lot better than 2-11. He also recorded his first career goal on a rare wraparound.
It is already obvious that the Blackhawks are a much more fun team to watch this year. Bedard has added a whole new level of dynamic offense to the team meaning they can actually score goals sometimes. Bedard will be back in action tonight as the Hawks visit Montreal at 7:00PM EST.
