Connor Bedard roasted NHL on TNT announcer Paul Bissonnette’s hockey career
Connor Bedard certainly knows a good hockey player when he sees one. After all, Bedard is a generational hockey talent and is very likely to be taken No. 1 overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the upcoming NHL draft.
On Monday, ahead of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, Bedard joined the "NHL on TNT" crew to talk shop and preview the events between the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers. The panel was quite the star-studded one too, with greats like Wayne Gretzky and Henrik Lundqvist the major highlights of TNT's analyst broadcast crew.
When asked how it felt to be seated next to the Great One, Bedard was as humble as they come as he expressed gratitude for the league hosting him, Adam Fantilli, Will Smith and Leo Carlsson at the championship game.
Of course, Bedard couldn't help but roast TNT analyst - and former NHL player - Paul Bissonnette with a brutal drive by one-liner.
"The NHL doing this is incredible for me and the other three prospects to come and see a couple pretty good players on this panel — and Biz is here too," he quipped as the hosts erupted in laughter.
For reference: Bissonnette played 202 NHL games and scored 22 points in his six-year career. That's not nothing, at least!
