Great pass by Bedard. He got lucky they didn’t score on that 3 on 2 after he just floated in his own zone. Slowly starting to hate his defensive play.

Bedard puts it on a tee for Murphy. 4-2. Gorgeous.

That was a 3 on 3. One of the other 3 did not have their man.

I'm sure it's only going to get better from here. Bedard is not Kane. He intends to improve in every aspect of the game.

Well it became 3 on 2 when he left McMichael. I’m assuming they defend most dangerous man there.

Nice anticipation by Bedard to steal that pass when behind the net.

Two Hawks puck watching, and not picking up the high man. It just wasn't his guy. He didn't come back 100% because it was a 3 on 3 and they should have been fine. Plenty to criticize him for, defensively. That wasn't it.

I thought it was 3 on 3, he was trailing 3rd and then slowed up and McMichael then was open for 3 on 2 in the high slot.
Edit:
Just replayed it. Kurashev was deeper and took the trailer and then Phillips just randomly went with a guy and left the high slot open when Zaitsev was already there.
Saw it wrong.

Soderblum's terrible rebound control cost Hawks another goal at the wrong time - game over.

... but true. Face it, the way Bedard is playing at the moment he should not be playing 20 minutes a night.
Even an 18-year-old phenom needs to earn his ice time.

This team has zero aspirations, there is no reason to bench Bedard for a defensive lapse or a bad turnover so that the two-headed monster that is Tyler & Reese Johnson can plug it up and do jack sh*t with that ice time. Bedard will improve with time, there are no 18 year olds who step right into the league without their share of struggles and this team has the unique luxury of playing him through them without it costing them anything.
"My 18 year old center got outworked on the backcheck" matters a whole lot less in the big picture than "my 18 year old center delivered an unbelievable backhand sauce pass for an easy backdoor goal", you play Bedard through the mistakes because what matters more than anything for this franchise's future is him figuring out when and how he can make that play he made on the 2nd goal. The details that go into making him a complete player will come with time.

Because he can play a third line role in the NHL. Why is Reese f***ing Johnson playing in the national?

Bedard with 23pts after 27gp nice
Murphy played his 400th games with the Blackhawks and scored his 27th goal as a Hawk!
Hjalmarsson is 10th all time games played for Blackhawks defencemen
623gp 23g 120a 143pts
Murphy is 19th all time
400gp 27g 61a 88pts
Trade has worked out okay actually, all things considered
1023gp 50g 181a 231pts
Hopefully Murphy gets dealt for another solid dman to carry on the chain
