Maybe Bedard should encase himself in bubblewrap if he can’t be hit? The poor Hawks player who felt obligated to fight for him got his face worked with some cross-checks…Then papa Foligno came in to earn his paycheck…This game is bonkers sofar…

The dude broke Bedard’s jaw.

Where are these comments when Middsy Maroon and Hartman all fight or take a sussy for Kirill?

absolutely a clean check on Bedard, that’s the difference…. He sure loves to watch his passes… tough lesson learned for him… then Foligno gets hurt on the dumb “you have to fight me just because“ fight…

Rossi, Faber and Luke Hughes have there 5-6 week window to dig into Bedard’s Calder lead..

He’s out that long with a broken jaw?
He was stick handling between 3 players not admiring his pass.
Agree clean hit but every team would have fought if that was their star player.
I don’t understand why you hate the kid so much.

Zero hate, just dont like the entitlement he’s being given by so many hockey fans (there’s just as many if not more fans that share my opinion)

The kid has some truly elite skills, but that doesn’t mean he cant be touched on the ice….

Zero hate? Cmon…
What entitlement? Dude just got rocked.
Do you really care what other hockey fans on twitter think? That seems kind of silly.

Faber just continues to get shots through from the point.

Kid got caught puck watching. It’s hockey, not golf. He was starring at the puck like it was a golf ball on a tee. Legal hit and he fell asleep at the wheel. Sucks his jaw’s busted.

Middleton…

No one said it was a dirty hit on Bedard Players fighting after clean but heavy hits is nothing new

If that same hit happens to 97 you know Hartman would separate the guys head from his body

Of course, that’s to be expected. It’s the nhl code.

Thanks Merrell!

How long does this Merrill/Wild marriage continue to go on for?

Poor Flower.

What a gongshow tying goal sequence!

Didn’t think that tie was coming

Did Fleury actually prevent that open net goal lol

Flower power.

Even if he didn’t get a piece of it he still made him rush the shot

Big to pick up a point here. And sad that I’m saying that against Columbus

39 year goalie diving like that, impressive!

Bogosian on the ice for 3v3 OT really defines how this season is going

Congrats to Fleury moving into tie for second in career wins. They didn’t make it easy for him.

Stole 2 points tonight!

Wow on Flowers save…unreal!

What a save by Flower!

What a pass from Boldy!

What a finish by Rossi!

It’s against Columbus, but I’ll take it!

Lmao when I saw him out there I thought “is that Bogosian out there in OT?!”

Hell yeah Marco OTGWG

3 youngest players on the ice for the winner average age younger than Mankato St

Yeah it’s a band of misfits due to all the injuries but the 50 year old Fleury came up huge in OT and the rook in Rossi finished it off. Fun game. I didn’t give them much of a chance when they lost the lead considering how things had been going but they just didn’t quit.

They added an assist for Faber on the Rossi goal, 3 assist night and over 30 minutes toi again… He’s got a large window now to change Bedard votes for the Calder…

Fun win.
Team probably needed that.
Flower is a legend. Met him several times now. One of the greatest I have ever met.

This is the first thing I saw when I was finally able to watch the game last night… you’re telling me this kid doesn’t have a ton more room to grow offensively in the league? He’s gonna be special!

Faber has a lot of offensive upside for sure. He has been dazzling with the puck a few times in recent weeks. I just want him permanently on PP1 because he gets the puck through nearly every time.

I watched most of the game last night and then watched the recap today. Wow does Columbus have awful announcers. So boring. No emotion.

Also found it funny that bogo was out for OT but I feel like he has been playing pretty well overall. Both him and Middleton have been playing at the top of their abilities the last several games.
