Bedard's Impressive Start Amid High Expectations
Handling the spotlight isn't easy, especially with the immense pressure that Bedard faces. Yet, against the odds, Bedard's performance has been impressive.
He's managed to rack up 3 goals and 2 assists, totaling 5 points in his first 8 games. These numbers might not match some of the expectations, but it's undoubtedly a great beginning for the young star, given the pressure and expectations on his shoulders.
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
