It was a clean hit. Smith just stepped into him. Connor needs to learn to keep his head up so he can brace for impact. This is a symptom of the shitty roster where Connor is trying to score 3 goals with one shot.

Until there's a real roster around him he should be surrounded by bodyguards.

I agree it was a clean hit. You can still pummel fear into anyone who even thinks of laying him out.
McSorley and Semenko used to go out to warmups telling the other team they don't care if they go to jail - you don't touch Gretzky.

Might be his jaw, could be some now missing chicklets. Whatever the situation, Bedard's chin was about elbow height.

He is 18 so maybe another inch or two of growth and he gets hit in the shoulder instead of the jaw.

Do we know for sure it's a broken jaw? They fucking need to trade for some beef before he gets back to protect him. I don't want his career shortened by concussions because everyone's free to take runs. Not yet, no. Reddit speculation only so far. If it is broken I won’t be surprised though, and the concussion tag is pretty much an automatic add to any head shot, broken jaw included. Edit: yep, broken.

McSorley and Semenko used to go out to warmups telling the other team they don't care if they go to jail - you don't touch Gretzky. Yeah. As noted having some better beef around to make sure opponents know not to touch him wouldn’t hurt. Foligno is a good soul for taking up the charge but they need someone that isn’t such a needed piece for even limited success this season to be in that role. If Foligno did break his hand in that fight that sucks badly. I’d much rather a Reaves type break his hand pounding a Bedard toucher than him.

Update: it’s broken as per him being out on IR, along with Foligno on IT for a fractured finger.
So the two best players out for a good amount of time. That best first pick percentage is back in play now, even with the sharks sucking even more cock than the hawks.
(Also trade Mrazek NOW before he gets hurt too!)

4-6 weeks confirmed
And the Hawks have plenty of beef already...plus the addition of Megna.
None of that can protect him from going over the offensive blueline looking down at the puck.

Nope, but, as noted, it wouldn’t hurt to have people around to make them think twice about making the hit. And at this point why not? Take Reaves and a future number one from The loafs for Mrazek 🤣. Reaves sucks but a skilled toughie isn’t needed for a few years, just a big mouth and large fist.

I like tough guys and a tough team...but they rarely prevent incidents like this.

They need the right kind of beef. The crazy eyed kind that makes you question lowering a shoulder into our franchise.
One of the few reasons to watch the Hawk game is gone.

"I like tough guys and a tough team". That explains all the fireman calendar's.
