#bedmack

But I do wonder how connor feels about mack in lights of the world deciding mack is everything they wanted him to be, being in the scrutiny of media spotlight as the next crosby mcdavid for his entire childhood with too much on his shoulder just to be ditched in a blink of an eye for the nhl’s new golden boy, facing backlash for expectations he never asked for and people pissed because they think they bet on the wrong “generational talent”, mack absolutely killing it and breaking records with their shared childhood idols in the olympics while he’s rolling on the floor in a nightclub in brazil bc he’s unable to get some. does he resent mack just a little bit for not inviting him to Halifax even tho he understands they’re in competition for that roster spot? Does he feel relieved and maybe even a little bad for mack now that the attention and expectations are all shifted from him? and of course he doesn’t care to have that weird codependent relationship mack has going on with his liney bc he enjoys his solitude when he’s not playing hockey and enjoys living alone watching sports game while doomscrolling but does he also wonder what it’d be like if there’s someone to share his burden with? He’s always only blaming himself for not doing better and never show any negative emotions towards any of his teammates for not being able to finish his plays but does he feel bitter just a little bit because just think what he could’ve been at right now if he had competent linemates instead of 100 different flavorless line combos for one season and then burakovsky for the next? he’s been looking really good flying all over the ice creating incredible grade A chances which doesn’t translate in points but he feels good about the improvement of his games but does he find it annoying that it doesn’t result in a number? of course he’s fired up and doesn’t care about media tensions and is going to prove them wrong eventually anyways but what does he feel now 3 seasons into his nhl careers with a bloody mouth, a broken jaw, a dislocated shoulder and countless losses and disappointments when for his entire life so far all he had known is to win? it’s only human nature to feel pissed but you can’t help but wonder looking at this tung tung 67 brainrot kid who is merely 20 but also chill and polite and mature and even a little fun and sassy with media who tries to be older than he really is who only ever wears his heart on his sleeve on ice like so how do you feel?

happy cali fin day, can’t wait for will and mack and connor bedard to make out at center ice
