Hockey|Teuvo Teräväinen doesn’t mince his words when talking about Chicago’s problems.
Philadelphia
The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
Teuvo Teräväinen and Connor Bedard played well together in Chicago in the early season.
Teräväinen drifted into a scoreless streak, and Bedard also had difficulties.
The two were dismissed from the same chain, and Bedard was moved to winger.
Teräväinen is frustrated with Chicago’s weak success and the team’s problems.
Teuvo Teräväinen30, and the world’s most terrifying puck promise Connor Bedard, 19, seemed to quickly find common ground with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Finnish winger moved to Chicago in the summer from the Carolina Hurricanes.
The duo forged spectacular goals together in the early season, but the momentum quickly froze. Teräväinen drifted into a scoreless streak, and Bedard also had a hard time.
The two were fired from the same chain. Since then, Teräväinen and Bedard have been seen on the ice at the same time only with the upper hand and occasionally five on five.
“I had time to get to know how Bedard plays. He is really skilled on the puck and sees free teammates well. With him, you have to get yourself into a free space,” Teräväinen describes.
Now Teräväinen has been observing Bedadr playing from the substitution box. The top prospect is really dangerous in the attack zone at best. His shooting ability is exceptional, and as Teräväinen pointed out, Bedard is also an excellent passer.
However, there are still many problems. Bedard has not been nearly as good as expected this season. Especially when playing as a center forward, the Canadian’s promise is even more of a detriment than a benefit to his team, as he takes unnecessary risks and slips from playing defense.
“He’s still young and has a lot to learn in the overall game. He will definitely develop in it”, Teräväinen has noted.
Teuvo Teräväinen has noted Connor Bedard’s (pictured) shortcomings in the overall game, but also his great understanding of the game on the offensive end.
Bedard’s piers have to patch up the slips of the super talent. On Saturday, Philadelphia saw an illustrative moment of how Bedard sometimes forgets his defensive obligations.
In the corner of Chicago’s defensive zone, there was an offensive flurry going on for the Flyers, where Bedard should have been helping the wingers. However, the super promise floated close to the blue line. Teräväinen had to tap Bedard lightly on the backside with a stick to remind him that the youngster should be on defense.
The coaching staff has also noticed Bedard’s problems and started playing him as a winger.
Sharply my own playing has also been lost lately. In ten matches in November, the Finnish talent has only scored 2+1 power points.
“If I could get more successes, it would bring a little self-confidence. It always seems to affect the playing,” Teräväinen admits.
“As a whole team, we have a lot of trouble getting anything done on the offensive end. We play a lot without the puck. “
Teräväinen doesn’t mince his words when talking about his team’s problems. Chicago has already drifted to the tail of the entire series, although this season the team should have been more credible and played for wins.
“We hang in there in the games, but then somehow we still find ways to lose,” Teräväinen insists.
“It’s been quite a bit of a slog.”

We hang with the games, but then somehow we still find ways to lose.

Sharp already downloaded straight talk before of the Chicago Sun-Times in the interview. He exorcises the inefficiency of the Blackhawks and the fact that it is difficult to even create scoring opportunities or gain the upper hand.
“I don’t like the team’s current situation, no one does. It’s frustrating,” Teräväinen told the newspaper.
Teräväinen’s comments have already attracted some of the journalists following Chicago the conclusionthat the Finn would like to leave the club. Teräväinen laughs at the claim.
“Magazines and fans always draw their own conclusions about everything. I like being here, that’s not what it’s about. I have adapted quite well. But of course losses are frustrating. You just have to learn from them.”
Teräväinen signed a three-year contract with Chicago in the summer, which will bring him more than five million seasonal earnings. The change has been big, because Teräväinen played the last few seasons for the Carolina Hurricanes, who were one of the championship candidates.
“The difference has kind of hit me in the face and kind of not. I knew I was coming to a different place and a different situation. I knew how to prepare that it could be difficult at the beginning. But the future here is quite good.”
