Wayne Gretzky makes unbelievably bold statement about Connor Bedard

On Saturday night, rising star Connor Bedard amazed everyone with an incredible "Michigan" goal, scoring his 13th goal of the season by wrapping the puck around the net.

Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, one of the all-time greats, expressed admiration for Bedard's skills.

Gretzky humbly admitted in a surprising statement that he could never pull off the same move, stating in an interview:

Gretzky commended Bedard's exceptional rookie season, noting,



Bedard's impressive performance continues to captivate both on and off the ice, adding another remarkable chapter to his burgeoning career.
