Connor Bedard receives bold text message after he hit the Michigan

Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks made headlines on Saturday with an incredible "Michigan" move against the St. Louis Blues. In a surprising twist, Trevor Zegras of the Anaheim Ducks pulled off the same move later that day against Seattle, causing a buzz in the hockey world. Bedard even got a text from Zegras.

"It was kind of funny," Bedard said. "It's rare for them to go in. For a couple to happen on the same night, it's a funny coincidence."

Before the game, Zegras was challenged by a local reporter to try it as a Christmas gift. And he did.





When asked which one he liked better between the two, Bedard gave a humble answer: "I liked Zegras'. He picked it up kind of with his toe there, so I think that's a little harder."

Wayne Gretzky was in the house when Bedard scored the goal. The Great One was impressed, acknowledging that it's not something he believed he could've pulled off.


Bedard heard Gretzky's comments and was honored by them.
