Column: Chicago Blackhawks scrooge holiday break, Connor Bedard Michigan goal

Connor Bedard and Trevor Zegras are both making waves with their impressive goals in the NHL, but who did it better?

Connor Bedard made waves in the NHL with his lacrosse-style goal against the St. Louis Blues, but the Chicago Blackhawks managed to steal the spotlight with their collapse against the Blues, marking their sixth loss in seven games. Taylor Raddysh expressed frustration with the team's performance, stating that they dominated the game for the first two periods but fell flat in the third. The Hawks' lack of confidence and tendency to play cautiously when leading has led to their recent string of defeats. Jarred Tinordi emphasized the importance of playing aggressively and not sitting back on their heels, as this approach often results in opponents taking advantage and securing a win.

On the other hand, Bedard's impressive Michigan goal has garnered widespread attention, with comparisons to Mike Legg's famous lacrosse-style goal in 1996. Raddysh commended Bedard's skills, stating that while the goal was surprising, it's expected from a player of his caliber. Luke Richardson also praised Bedard's quick hands and vision, highlighting his ability to execute such a difficult move. Meanwhile, Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks has also achieved similar success with the Michigan goal, showcasing his comfort and ease in executing the maneuver. The players' confidence and skill in executing these unique goals reflect their exceptional talent and creativity on the ice.
