"You never want to think, 'Oh, I can't do this.' I don't believe that mindset is productive. However, I'm not him. I am my person and player. I consider him the pinnacle at the moment. It's like, 'This guy is the best or one of the best, so how can I strive to get closer to him?'" Bedard expressed.
Bedard further commented, "I believe this is a great aspect of sports. You're constantly competing with other players. For me, getting the chance to spend time with him on the ice and challenging myself against him... he's undeniably incredible. His statistics are almost unbelievable. Nonetheless, for me, it's about striving to be my player and achieving my personal best."
