With a 6-3-4 record, the Tampa Bay Lightning have the third-most points in the Eastern Conference when they take the ice tonight.  While Andrei Vasilevskiy has been sidelined due to injury, Nikita Kucherov leads the NHL in points. Jonas Johansson has been an excellent story and a reliable backup.

While it is fantastic that the Lightning are headed for another postseason run and are a strong contender for the Stanley Cup, you should also be aware that Connor Bedard is in town and can lace his skates on his own.

Have You Seen Connor, Tampa Bay Lightning?

In hockey history, Bedard may be the best player to ever skate on the ice. It’s Connor, not Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, or even Jaromír Jágr.

Although there are 76 other players with five or more goals, none of them go by the name of Connor. It simply indicates that you are ignoring the fact that he has contributed two assists so far this season.

What are you saying? Additionally, 417 players have at least two assists this season. And he gets to play with Taylor Hall, a previous Hart Trophy winner?

The typical Tampa Bay hockey fan, is clueless.

Because of his exceptional skill, EA Sports is thinking of having Connor Bedard appear on the cover of NHL 24 midseason. And Bedard is capable of turning on his PlayStation 5 by himself, unlike your favorite hockey player.

Given that Chicago is their third-worst team and that they score five goals against five, who else would put the puck in the net but Connor?

Tyler Johnson, Corey Perry, and Taylor Raddysh are former Tampa Bay Lightning players who currently play for Chicago, but Gary Bettman doesn’t want you to watch them tonight.

You’re going to enjoy watching Connor Bedard tonight, I promise. The highlights will display each amazing shift that Bedard makes, even if the Lightning prevail—a result that Vegas believes is likely given their -250 odds.

To be honest, which would you prefer to witness tonight—a Kucherov hat trick or Bedard wiping his visor by himself?

Considering that mentioning Kucherov merely indicates a lack of hockey knowledge.
