Being the first overall pick in the NHL draft comes with very high expectations. With those expectations comes an enormous amount of pressure...Especially when you're hailed to be the next Connor McDavid or Sidney Crosby. In this video, we break down the most important obstacle for Connor Bedard early in his career.

TBH Bedard is probably the one I´m the least worried about when it comes to mentality, have you guys seen his interviews or how he plays? He is literally hungry for pressure and wants to have responsibility, kind of like Hasek used to have in his prime.
I have to agree with you
Apparently, he never ate at mcdonald's or maybe just a couple of time, that's some dedication and maturity for your craft
@@user-xg6sx5ev9u Well, do you know Jagr? Well he loves sweets and even some junk food and to offset it, he trained double the amount of time as his teammates :D Not to argue with you its just something I remembered when I read your comment :D
@@BlueFlash25I mean, the iron man of the league is a man that eats hot dogs by the dozen lmao
@@hockeypsychologythen why did you make this clickbait video lol
Everyone keeps saying Connor lacks size for a 1st overall pick. Though true but take a look at Patrick Kane. Patrick Kane is a 1st rd, 1st overall pick (2007), he's a lethal goal scorer with an underrated playing making ability. Has won three Stanley Cups, and doing it with a height of 5'10.
Yup. Exactly
Not only this but Kane isn't even a 180 pounds today, and was only 160 as a rookie. Bedard is already 185, and at just under 5'10 his build is more comparable to young Crosby than it is to Kane. I don't think it's crazy to assume he has a rookie season better than Kane but might just fall short of Crosby's.
Wasn´t Martin St. Louis like 5'9?
Yeah except he looks 5'8, I highly doubt he's actually 5'10
Berdard is jacked for his age. He'll be fine.
The thing that worries me the most about Connor Bedard joining the Blackhawks is that when Sidney Crosby was picked in 2005, the year before, the Penguins picked Evgeni Malkin. When the Oilers picked Connor McDavid in 2015, the year before, the Oilers picked Leon Draisaitil. When you have the weight of a franchise on your shoulders, it is good to have a wingman. Last year, the Blackhawks picked Kevin Korchinski, a defenseman, at the 7th spot and Frank Nazar, a center, at the 13th spot. I hope these players develop quickly to help Bedard handle the load. Similarly, a long time ago in 2007, when the Blackhawks picked Patrick Kane first overall, the year before, they had picked Jonathan Toews at the 3rd spot. There is a pattern here.
Chicago has Lukas Reichel at wing.
makar and byram too..they already won a cup..
Lukas Reichel should help him right away
Stamkos and Hedman were also picked in back to back drafts.
Lukas Reichle will help him. And why do you think Chicago went out and got Perry, Hall, Foligno… 🤦🏼♂️ Also it wasn’t Malkin that helped Crosby when he came into the NHL it was Mario Lemieux and other veterans of that team at the time… Malkin didn’t come until the year after that and when Malkin came Crosby was more
Then fine lol. Crosby was able to handle his own.
After watching him at the World Juniors this year, I think the hype is absolutely deserved. But we still have to remember that he's a human being playing hockey, and the hockey part is not more important than the person.
Lmfao
He's the same size as Brayden Point. No disrespect to Point (he's clearly a star/borderline franchise center), but Bedard's ceiling is definitely higher from a skill perspective. He'll be fine. Bedsy's got a little grease/rat in him, which should serve him well.
The only question is how he'll handle a long playoff run. Like Point, he'll be targeted relentlessly. Scott Mayfield and Shea Weber made sure he paid the price for those two rings.
I think you’re going to be one of the biggest hockey channels on CZcams. Most other content is top 10 lists or reaction commentary. Unique narratives and excellent pacing. Ur doing g8 sweaty
I think that the type of hype he is getting is a far healthier version than someone like Victor Webenyama is facing. From what I’ve seen, a lot of people while yes are hoping/expecting him to put up great numbers and make a big impact, also know that his rookie year is meant to acclimate him to this new environment. Later on is when we hope for him to breakout but I believe if he puts up a 30 goal 60-70 point season that would make a lot of people happy especially for a rookie year.
Perfect comparison
Yeah, most Hawks and hockey fans in general realize it takes 18 year olds a bit to get acclimated and bulk up. Most fans ice talked to are just ready to celebrate the highs and watch him learn from mistakes. Just hope to see flashes of what's to come and I'll be happy.
I'm not going to speculate. I just hope he's going to set the league on fire. As a fan of hockey I think we need superstars to make the game more entertaining.
Love the content keep it up. you are doing a great job.
Thanks for watching!
I was worried the hype was getting too high even after the draft, sooo many interviews about every little thing, so many press conferences, all the video pieces and all that but man, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player with this much hype seem as completely unfazed by it as he does. And it’s not generic hockey personality, I mean he was chirping biz on national tv already, he’s clearly having a good time, but his answers don’t seem forced or facetious at all, he really seems like he thinks he’s just another dude trying to make the team. Obviously there will be some adjustments coming into the show but I don’t think it’ll take him long at all
I think he'll score around 30 goals in his first season and then 40+ goals and 100+ points from there.
e
No chance. He's been playing in No Check Leagues. He's going to get hammered. Poor kid. All this hype doesnt help any.
@@matt75hooperthe WHL is absolutely a checking league and one of the more physical junior leagues
@@jameson1239 There appears to be a 'Hands Off' the star mentality. Bedard is never touched. This will change in Oct.
@@matt75hooper he’s never touched because they can’t touch him he’s incredibly deceptive
I expect him to be the best player in the league in 5 years and wouldn’t be surprised if he wins several cups - Chicago’s built great teams in recent memory
I dont quite undersrand where this whole "He's too small" thing comes from. Hes 5'10 and about 185lbs. At his age he's bigger than Patrick Kane, Martin St-Louis, Johnny Gaudreau, Brad Marchand, Marcel Dionne in their draft-years (to name a few). He's also exhibited more talent than them other than maybe Dionne, but that was a different era. He plays with grit and has the know-how to not let his "lack of size" hinder him. I think he'll do just fine in the NHL.
Sidney Crosby is 5’11 5’10ish
The hype is exactly what the word means - just a hype. He has tremendous talent and skill paired with a blend of Jack Hughes and Connor McDavid. Especially Hughes has demonstrated that smaller players can overcome physical disadvantages with skill and speed. Hughes is surprisingly resilient and a tougher cooky than most anticipated.
The Blackhawks made a really smart move by bringing in Hall - he successfully mentored Hischier a few years ago. Nevertheless, he needs a much broader support crew than just Hall and at the moment they don't really look like a fast puck-moving team... I hope they prove me wrong. Best of luck to Bedard and let's hope he has a normal grounding family surrounding that keeps him on the right altitude level.
Well said
With a shot like matthews. Dangerous combo.
@@hockeypsychology I have several friends who are professional ice hockey head coaches on the top level in top European leagues and they all tell me how important a quality locker room is (you scout for character and you practice for skills)! Especially for a Rookie. Eichel has shwon us what he was in Buffalo, and what he can be within the environment that supports the good things in him. The Sabres management must ask itself how much of the support group (character and common sense) they gave Eichel to calibrate his compass during his time there?
I am really undecided on how much quality in the Blackhawks locker room is when #19 is not around anymore....
@@Gl-my8fw absolutely - but what if he doesn't get the support that opens space for him to unload?
Bedard is humble because he doesn't believe in his own legend. People think he's being humble for good PR or something. I think he's genuinely humble because his hockey IQ is so insane. His game is to use everyone and everything that's going on around him to make plays. He's never going to accept the idea that hockey is a one man show because that's not how he plays. The press isn't going to be able to sell him on his own hype and that's why he deals with pressure so well. His lived experience and his success in hockey continues to reinforce the idea that this is a team game. I personally think he's going to live up to the hype because of that. Were talking about a kid that still enters roller hockey tournaments with his buddies, meanwhile he's going number one in the draft. I don't know what could keep you more humble and grounded than getting beat once in a while by some roller hockey guys that will never make it to the NHL.
I believe he’ll have average stats for his first 2 years, but with some really impressive highlights sprinkled randomly throughout. I’m predicting his 3rd year will be the one that will tell the tale of his future as a superstar or a dud.
just a vid idea but would you be able to make a vid abt yzerman’s constant trade fleeces around the league, scouting (tendency to go off the board), his role in tampa dynasty, etc. he’s more relevant rn after debrincat trade and active free agency. love your channel!!
His mentality and humility along with his IQ are why i think hes going to be really really special.
His maturity reminds me of a young Landeskog.
What I expect from Bedard is Crosby like production. Maybe without being that good on defence. So a great leader. A future capitain. But might not be as productive as Mc David aka / 2nd Gretzky. And, in my opinion, that would still be an amazing player.
Don’t worry about his size. If Jack Hughes overcame his size, Bedard will do the same if he is driven. I’m excited to follow his career even thou I’m a Devils fan, it’s still exciting.
Most hyped player yet? Absolutely. Most talented 18 yr old prospect, by an enormous amount, so quickly dominating every next level, immediately…. Conner Bedard is a talent like no sport has ever scene. Love the video. You’re right tho, the pressure I think will be more than any hockey player, EVER. I would have 0 social media ANYTHING if I were that kid. For REAL. That would destroy anyone. Look at how much pressure leafs players are under?!? I’m a wings fan… die-heart. I don’t think I’m that tough on the players. I love Raymond.. woulda like to see him develop more this last year. It was tough to be a fan once Raz got hurt & Bert left… man Larkin was playing like I’ve never seen him play. I think he was arguably playing the best 2-way center in the nhl at that point. He nhl 3rd star of the week before Bert. Anyway, the pressure that kid will have is like nothing anyone’s, in NHL history, has faced.
This is the golden boy we are talking about here, Bedsy is a rare special hockey player !! lol
Saw this guy tear up the World Juniors and Oil Kings in Edmonton.. He is worth the hype, real deal, box office, prime time, franchise player
His size shouldn’t be a problem in today’s game a few smaller players turned out elite I’m not worried about him
I’m not sure why people are worried about his size. Look at Paul Kariya. When he was playing it was all about hitting and it was a very rough league and Kariya was still incredible. Look at the game now. It’s not as physical and refs protect big name players. Bedard will be fine. He might not throw up 50 goals his first year but I think he’ll definitely hit the 70pt mark his rookie season.
those sleazy eyes when he is putting on his hawk jersey...
With all the hype, what will Bedard have to do to fulfill expectations? Would being the type of goalscorer like Phil Kessel, or a points machine like Mitch Marner meet his expectations or does he have to be Sidney Crosby leading his teams to multiple Cups along with winning scoring titles? I just wonder what people think when they say he is a "generational talent"
The thing about Conor is he is made for the pressure he loves it
I am thinking 220 points his first year. Perry with 50 pp goals. Seth Jones will have 25 goals. Rocky Wirtz 109 assists. Reichel 92 goals.🤡
I'd say definitely give him credit for being a good player. However, yes, it is important to remember Connor Bedard is only eighteen. Players like Sydney Crosbey, Alex Ovechkin, and Connor McDavid have been playing for much longer. I think it would be kind of harsh to put so much pressure on him to be as good as those guys because he's just a rookie. Rookies are going to make mistakes. The more experienced players have been able to really hone their skills. So, yeah, give credit where it's due, but keep in mind Connor Bedard is just a rookie.
Hey dude love your content!!
wonder how long it takes Chicago to get back to the play-offs..... im guessing 10 years
He has exceeded any expectations we've had for him so far. He seems like a great kid and I wish nothing but the best for his career, even though I hate the Blackhawks
Anyone talking about size being a problem for a 5’10” first overall hawks pick apparently didn’t watch hockey in the early 2010’s
Isn’t he the same height at Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby?
I recall more hype over Eric Lindros
Overhyped or under hyped are the words that I’d use. I’m honestly just sick of hearing about everything he does, every shit that he takes is a golden turd right now and that is bonkers to think about. I’d love for the media attention to die down a bit and maybe we can see his personality come out a bit. Right now he is being told what and how to do everything and it’s killed his personality. He’s the new McDavid and as a fan I hate to see that. As much as I don’t like Matthews personality, I love that he at least has one. The sport needs more Biz’s and less McJesus’ as far as personality goes.
On top of that all the comparisons to elite players, both past and present is a bit overkill this early. Assuming that he doesn’t have some career ending injury he will likely join their ranks, but let the kid breath and enjoy the moment.
How could anyone have called Hughes a bust? It’s not just the 43 G and 99 Pts just watch him play!
Connor has looked fairly nervous since he’s been drafted, even in pretty standard 1 on 1 interviews. That’s something I haven’t really noticed prior to being picked 1 overall
I disagree I think he has handled things well. With the Chicago media throwing Chicago down his throat he basically has been saying the same stuff over and over and not trying to upset anyone.
I would be willing to bet that Bedard feels absolutely zero pressure. This is something he has desired and trained for, for his entire life. He's not feeling pressure, he feels elation..
Sure, he'll be a bit nervous before his first game, and proably every game for his entire career.. Pregame butterflies are not the same thing as feeling "pressure"
I think he is being a bit over hyped but he will be able to handle the pressure.
The key is to avoid concussions, other than that he'll be fine. Will be interesting to see whether he gets the Crosby treatment, i.e. the refs are ordered to protect him more than others.
I highly doubt it. Officials don’t exactly help out chicago in any sport…
My bet, Bedard is a bust in comparison to what Kane, Toews, Crosby, Matthews, MacKinnon, McDavid have done. The foot speed and small stature don’t scream elite playoff performer to me. However, he has a good shot, and that should bode well for him in the regular season where he has a bit more time and space
The dudes set for life. Just go play. Whatever happens happens
These guys are brought up differently than they were in past. Better prepared now.
This kid should be fine. He seems to have it all on and off the ice to be successful.
44 goals and 103 points
Connor will be fine, but it does take a lot of good nhl’ers. Kane won that first cup with toews, Keith, hossa, big buff, Ladd, seabrook, Leddy, Brian Campbell, etc
Bedard is still 17 at the moment.
People act like he ain’t around the same size as Crosby, Kane, Point I can go on. He will be fine
The problem is you are going to put a 17 year old kid who isn't big against men. Hopefully Chicago doesn't rush getting him in right away and risk him getting hurt. This is not junior
Hope he goes to the states. I would never sign in canada. Cant even get healthcare here
I think he is a tiny bit overhyped, not trying to say he's bad or anything cuz I do believe he can put up 100+ points in the NHL but to say he is going to be better than McDavid or Crosby is too unrealistic. He could possibly match Crosby but McDavid is on another level in my opinion.
I have no worries about bedard tbh. I don’t think anyone expects him to be as good as mcdavid or Crosby, even though he could be. I expect him to be closer to them than anyone else is. As good as MacKinnon, I guess?
I couldn't imagine the world, well, hockey world, basically always being on your shoulders at 18. What were YOU doing at 18?
I'm just happy he won't be in Canada like all the rest.
Bedard is nowhere near as hyped as Crosby was. Not even close.
mats zuccarello was 5'8
jonathan marchessault is 5'9
the magic man datysk was 5'11
you dont need size to be good, not in this nhl market.
5'10 bedzy will be fine and he will overcome just like Pavel, watch him
You know Connor Bedard is overhyped, but you also know he'll be a champ about it and will be himself no matter what.
says 18, screen says 17 lol
Patrick Kane is 5’10 177 pounds… Patrick Kane also came into the league when “Size” still mattered… 2023 NHL is different, If you are as skilled as Bedard you will be more then fine lol… this “he is undersized” bullshit is just nonsense 😂 have you seen this kid at the combine??? This kid is fucking ripped!! Bedard will be more then fine… If Cole Caufield and Alex DeBrincat can put up points and goals and play at the highest levels in the NHL then I’m 1000% sure Bedard will be just fine…
Bedard will have a very good career but not to the height everyone thinks. Fantilli will actually have a better career.
Personally for me there is no hype
Just waiting to watch him
In
CHICAGO!!!
him: "I'm the greatest of all time..."
People need to recall what was said about McDavid before his rookie season. The legendary pasta was made;
"It's still early in the season I know... But maybe the kid just isn't ready for the NHL yet? With the media hounding him, the pressure of being considered the next "great one", fuck I wouldn't be able to handle that shit. Maybe having him in the minors for another year or two to develop a bit wouldn't have been a bad idea. The kid is only 18. At 18 I was complete fucktard who had no idea what I wanted to do. Not much has changed... but I'd like to think I have a bit of a better head on my shoulders now. I actually feel really bad for Mcdavid, and I hope we don't ruin him. Edit: I'm being lynched for ever daring to doubt the greatness of Connor Mcdavid. How dare I say such blasphmey after only THREE games. You're right, he may only be 18 years old, but he has the emotional maturity of a Buddhist monk, and the body and athleticism as a top olympic athlete. He may have hit puberty only 3 to 4 years ago, but he is a grown man now, capable of all pressure and criticism that comes his way. I am but a lowly neckbeard maple leafs fan who lives in my mothers basement here to shit on him for not getting 50 goals in his first 3 games. I am a rodent, and he is a golden god. I'm going to go light myself on fire now. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways with you jamming the downvote arrow on your computer screen with all your might and telling me how much of an idiot I am."
And 97 went on to smash all expectations and start to touch 66/99 territory.
hes only 5'10 buts hes 180lbs so its not like hes skin and bones.
Still. I predict a concussion in his first season.
In regards to actual impact on the NHL before they were even drafted Bedard is not even top 3 when it comes to being a sure fire generational talent. I have no doubts that he's phenomenal but this crap is just recency bias
Hockey intelligence : Connor McDavid?? LMFAO ya no, he's not close to McDavids hockey IQ or vision. Give it up already. This kid is a pure goal scorer like Matthews, thats what he is, thats all.
Ya 14 assists In 7 games at world juniors ,but he’s only a goal scorer…
Just let kid play hockey STOP PUTTING PRESURE ON HIM
I feel you’re worried about Bedard, you’re very not smart.
What will break Connor Bedard in the NHL? I'm gonna go with Ryan Reeves.
Bedard will be a bust.
It also doesn't help that Bedard got picked up by Chicago, a very controversial franchise as of late. Many people think that the Blackhawks got off with a slap on the wrist from their drama, so they want them to fail simply out of spite.
He feels like a bust though I’m glad my ducks didn’t win the lottery
No shot you just said that 😅
This past draft class has been compared to the 2015 draft so, I think Leo Carlson is going to be under a TON of unnecessary to pressure to succeed despite playing in a smaller market. He has taken Ahead of Fantili(The other so-called generational talent) and Michov. So the Ducks organization has to hope they made the right choice
Even if he’s a bust in not reaching the expectations brought on him he’s still the best player in the draft. Saying you’re glad your team didn’t get him is crazy since even if he isn’t Crosby level he’s better than every other player drafted
lets just hope the coaching staff in chicago doesn't rape him and then cover it up. That's what I'd be most worried about with him going to chicago. Shit if I were his parents I would have made it clear on public TV that if Chicago does anything like they did a few years ago, there won't be a team in chicago anymore after I'm done.
Bedard is a slower less crafty Patrick Kane. And he's right handed shooting righty which means he is always shooting off his wrong leg. Out of harmony & balance. This will exposed in the NHL.
