Providing part-time, unpaid, untrained, and probably wrong hobbyist hockey analysis. Fan of the #Blackhawks and #GratefulDead. Feel free to claim all the analysis as your own, it’ll probably be wrong.
Connor Bedard is currently ranked in the 95th, 98th, and 99th %ile of total speed burst categories.
This is not a small thing. And if it looks like he his flying on the ice it’s because he is.
He’s also logged the 8th most miles skated by forwards.

Maybe Jeremy Roenick should give Connor Bedard a fist bump after tonight’s game.

Excuse me what?
If you say Demidov is the sickest prospect you’ve seen live, I’d like to inquire about your time in the stands for Bedard, Celebrini, Schaefer, McKenna, etc.
Demidov is outstanding…. but this call is a bit extreme and quite revealing.

You can talk to someone else with that Oliver Moore to Rockford nonsense.
If this club is about rewarding effort and achievement, he should be in Chicago from Day 1.

Connor Bedard had exactly 2 22+ MPH bursts in his first two seasons. Zero last season.
He got his first in his second preseason game this year.
Bedard 72+ points in 2025-26.

Hey @croumeliotis.bsky.social, are you sure you are the right person to shorten someone’s last name? 😀

On today’s @chgo-blackhawks.bsky.social podcast, @jayzawaski.bsky.social and @mariotirabassi.bsky.social talked about Connor Bedard’s face-offs improving. And it certainly seems like it.
Here are four graphs that show his career at the face-off dot. | #Blackhawks #NHL

Got to watch David Carle up close in an uninspiring game from the Denver Pioneers.
Players looked to him when things got bad, and the demeanor was calm and instructive.
Did an appropriate amount of talking on the bench.
Ton of coaching.
I am now a full yes for the #Blackhawks full court press.

Good night to watch some Pioneer hockey and #Blackhawks prospect Aiden Thompson.

Did the Taylor Hall trade make Ryan Donato’s chances of staying in Chicago a bit more likely?
Donato is probably a late 2nd or (even more likely) a late 3rd rd pick. On an expiring contract only contenders would be interested.
But can the #Blackhawks get something better in the 3rd? 👇

So wait, you want him to get a veteran who will help us get to 70 points and out of a Top 4 draft spot or you want them to bring up young guys and potentially keep their Top 4 draft spot?

One item that hasn’t been discussed this evening in #Blackhawks media is that this trade comes just days after the organization hired Chris O’Hearn as Assistant GM/VP Hockey Operations.
O’Hearn is a former MN Wild AGM. He’s also an attorney with an expertise on contract negotiations and the CBA.
