The Chicago Blackhawks have hit rock bottom now. With a consecutive four-game loss in their last matches, they add another to the streak after losing to the Seattle Kraken by 6-2 on Tuesday. Despite lacking a proper structure in their roster, perhaps what led to an embarrassing loss this time was the Blackhawks’ young star, who shone bright and set a stunning record: Connor Bedard!

The center for his team and one of the greatest prospects of his generation, it’s that time for Bedard when he needs to shake hands with his counterpart Sidney Crosby. After all, he reached a milestone that wasn’t accomplished since Crosby did when he played for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Well, it’s one of those moments where you just sit back and appreciate the greatness unfolding.

Surpassing over 100 points so far, Bedard isn’t just living up to the hype—he’s rewriting history before turning 21! ESPN just dropped the news on X, calling the two—the only players over the last 35 years to have 40 goals and 70 assists before the age of 20. Indeed a great achievement, right?

Well, it was all after the goal against the Seattle Kraken that Bedard skated over Crosby’s legacy and followed his legendary footsteps. “Overall, I think he’s very mature for being 19, especially with the amount of spotlight that’s on him constantly. I remember Sidney Crosby went through a lot of that, but on the ice, it happens, right?” Blackhawks head coach Anders Sorensen pointed out. But what exactly happens on the ice?

Remember the 10-minute misconducts and the penalties the Blackhawk’s phenom faced? His sophomore season indeed had a rough start. After receiving a misconduct for “abuse of officials,” against the San Jose Sharks and then again with the Vancouver Canucks, the incidents raised questions about his on-ice discipline. But did it really affect him? Probably not after he had been unstoppable in chasing his goals! And there’s another interesting turn to the plot twist that keeps the hockey world on its toes!

Connor Bedard joins the NHL legends’ list

Well, it’s about the legend himself—Crosby breaking Wayne Gretzky’s long-standing franchise points record. A staggering 1,670 points with the Pittsburgh Penguins in their thrilling game against the New York Islanders. Crosby stepped into the milestone, thereby tying Gretzky for fourth place on the list of leading scorers!

But Crosby wasn’t content with sharing that spot; he wanted to break it. It was the crucial goal he scored by the end of the night alongside Conor Timmins and Ryan Graves, that pushed him ahead of Gretzky. Another huge achievement in Crosby’s incredible career, while he clearly showed his prowess on the ice! “There’s always challenges every year that you go through. But you try to embrace the challenge you’re in,” Crosby said to the New York Times.

Now, with Bedard moving ahead in adding milestones to his journey at such a young age, and Crosby cementing his legacy, alongside Alex Ovechkin, the NHL isn’t just witnessing greatness but watching records fall and legends rise in real-time, isn’t it? After all, it’s all about rewriting and recreating records that shine throughout history!
