Pussy players decided to start chopping at him with their sticks for throwing a clean hit at their pretty boy that the league gave them

Nice legal hit.

I love hockey but this is the shit I can’t defend. Goons forcing players to fight for landing a clean hit has no place in the game, and I say the same thing when a Bruins player does it. I’ll stand by that if later in the season Poitras gets leveled by a clean shoulder check and Looch comes over and makes the guy answer.

For me the key to this play was his teammates standing up for him. That says something really good about Chicago. They have a good coach and team this year.

Hooking and roughing calls on Chicago?

Silly of Bedard to try to spin off that hit. Made it worse
Ill_Connection_8029
This is almost exactly like Crosby vs the flyers in his rookie season
ARussianSheep
Love how Tkachuk goes and tries to start shit with Bedard as he’s getting up too. That dude is a roach.

Foligno went full McSorley.

So he still gets hooked for a basic check? Gtfo it. Sick of the shitty scrums that happen because of a normal check
thesizzleisreal
Only got into hockey the past couple of seasons and this is why I love it. Check the rookie stud with a clean hit then his teammate immediately goes to fight in his defense. Hockey is awesome

Good to see Foligno jump right in with Reese Johnson ready to go too.
Even if it’s clean, you can’t let players do to Bedard what they did to Crosby.

Foligno is literally the best dude, I’m so happy he’s attached to Bedard to finish his career. Can’t wait to have him back in Columbus after he retires.

I don’t have any issue with any of this. Clean hit, but it’s a young star, so you have to stick up for him.
Usual_Patient_7201
How the fuck is it Kilikovs fault that during the hit Bedard turns himself into the boards ? That was a clean hit all day long.

McDavid never had that kind of protection from the Oilers. Good job Chicago
turbulentcounselor
Not a dirty hit but I like to see his teammates stand up for him

Anyone that is whining about scrums from clean hits has never actually played hockey at a high level. Those clean hard hits eventually wear down your star player. Teams fall apart when players feel no one has their back.

These new generation players really, really love to « spin » away from hits to lessen the impact. Fuck, its hockey.. take the fucking hit! Of course, one of his teammates would/should stick up for him after but good, welcome to the big leagues Bedard.
I imagine we will see more of this as time goes on. He will adjust but he will have to figure out the hard way

Johnson 52 grabbing the ref’s head wtf?
PoliteIndecency
You know the instigator penalty? That’s the penalty introduced into the league to stop people from starting fights after hits.
Do you know when it was introduced?
1992.
Let that sink in a little bit. Most of the players in the NHL today were born after that penalty was introduced.
The « new NHL », give me a break.

Checked the box score to see what was penalized. Glad Foligno got the hook and a rough for trying to keep punching a dude on his knees.
#52 Chicago casually put the Linesman in a headlock, lol. I’m sure it was just instinct, but man that was dumb lol

No problem with the hit, no problem with the response. That’s your baby boy, gotta protect him. Instances like this will help him learn better body position when expecting a check. Must have hurt bouncing his chin off the glass then the corner of the boards, though.
GoldMonk44
Oww lol
eexxiitt
Wasn’t even stapled into the boards, just a little push that bedard happened to turn into at the same time.
ice_nyne
17 coulda lit up the dude with a good hit but went for the lame hook? Fight fire with fire, baby!

If you harm even a hair on his head !

Clean hit. But he’s the young superstar so his team is gonna stick up for him, and I love that.
