"Connor Bedard scored his second goal in as many meetings against the defending #StanleyCup champions – a feat never before achieved by an 18-year-old."
Great Performances Amidst Growing Expectations
Since his teenage years, Bedard has been under the spotlight, yet this hasn't interfered with his success.
From the Juniors to tournaments and now the NHL, his prowess remains evident. He's off to an impressive start, boasting three goals and two assists.
While this might not align with some people's expectations, it's great for a young 18-year-old still getting acquainted with the NHL.
During a recent interview, Bedard delved into the growing attention and pressure he's been experiencing:
An honest Connor Bedard on all the attention he gets: «It's been pretty wild. Ever since before camp-ish, it's been crazy. But it's not something I look at as a negative at all. I'm really grateful to be in the position I am and there's very few people that get that opportunity, get to be as lucky. I'm looking at it like that. I'm living out a dream and I feel very fortunate for that. But it is crazy and busy. I'm human too; I can get a little tired. But it's been good and I'm just enjoying it.» #Blackhawks
