Connor Bedard listened to Eric Lindros!

Connor Bedard is making his mark on the public’s imagination with his prowess at the World Junior Under-20 Championship, where he is emerging as the leader.

Bedard, who is only 17 years old, has broken Canadian records for goals and points. He surpassed Jordan Eberle (14 goals) with his 15th goal against Slovakia, and Eric Lindros (31 points) with his 32nd point. He accomplished this feat in only 13 games, and is only 17 years old.

https://twitter.com/RDSca/status/1610066169569939457

The former number 88 had greatly encouraged Bedard to break his record by telling him to crush it (his record).

https://twitter.com/88EricLindros/status/1609543957100302337

But Bedard didn’t stop after breaking those two records because his ultimate goal is not to break records, but to win a gold medal with the Canada jersey on his back. He scored the winning goal in overtime against the tough Slovaks.

https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1610102406481842176

With Bedard’s success, Canada has advanced to the semi-finals and will face the United States next Wednesday (tomorrow). Bedard can continue his rise to the top for points in a single year at the tournament.

Bedard currently has 21 points, while Peter Forsberg (31), Markus Naslund (24) and Raimo Helminen (24) are ahead of him for points in a tournament.

Another event that marked this very exciting match between Canada and Slovakia, and which today did not go unnoticed. Captain Simon Nemec ‘s kiss to the crowd remains a highlight… for Canada.

Sometimes an emotional moment can quickly turn against you and Nemec certainly understands that today as he burst into tears following the duel.

Tiger shark attacks swimmer

Swimmers at Hillary’s Dog Beach (Western Australia) could have experienced a scene worthy of “Jaws” as a tiger shark prowled close to the shore.

This scene filmed by a drone occurred on December 28. The images captured are impressive, as the shark remained a few meters away from the unsuspecting swimmers for several minutes.

https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSPerth/videos/697826215337408/

We can even see the shark running towards a lady, but luckily, it suddenly decided to turn around.

“I was afraid it was an attack and I was obviously very scared!” said Sam Wood, the “pilot” of the drone.

Wood was half a mile from the beach when he was filming the scene with his drone, and he quickly moved closer to notify beachgoers so the worst could be avoided.

As aresult of this “film”, residents claimed to have seen several of these predators near the shore. One of them reported having seen no less than six sharks in six months…

In short, shark attacks in Western Australia occur regularly. In fact, last October, a man was bitten on the arm violently by a shark while spearfishing.

Should Dana White leave the UFC after hitting his wife?

UFC big boss Dana White punched (with his right hand) his wife in the face at a New Year’s Eve party.

Yet, White has always said that he does not accept men who hit women, adding that no excuse could justify such an act.

The 53-year-old man got away with hitting his wife of 26 years a few minutes after New Year’s Eve while they were at a nightclub in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

In the video, we see that the tone rose quickly between the two lovers, who were heavily intoxicated. Anne, his wife, slapped him and White responded immediately with a slap and pushes!

The two talked at length, forgave each other and quickly discussed the situation with their three children as the images were all over social networks.

Anne actually defended her husband following this scene:

“To say that this is not like him is an understatement – nothing like this has ever happened before. Things got out of hand, on both sides. We talked about it as a family and apologized. I just hope people will respect our privacy for the sake of our children!”she told TMZ.

Despite the apology and desire to keep this situation private, should Dana White resign from his position with the UFC?

If he’s consistent with the comments he was delivering about violence against women, he should jump ship, right?
