Connor Bedard roasted NHL on TNT announcer Paul Bissonnette’s hockey career with brutal one-liner

“There’s a couple of pretty good players on this panel… and Biz.”

Connor Bedard certainly knows a good hockey player when he sees one. After all, Bedard is a generational hockey talent and is very likely to be taken No. 1 overall by the Chicago Blackhawks in the upcoming NHL draft.

On Monday, ahead of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, Bedard joined the “NHL on TNT” crew to talk shop and preview the events between the Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers. The panel was quite the star-studded one too, with greats like Wayne Gretzky and Henrik Lundqvist the major highlights of TNT’s analyst broadcast crew.

When asked how it felt to be seated next to the Great One, Bedard was as humble as they come. Of course, Bedard couldn’t help but roast TNT analyst — and former NHL player — Paul Bissonnette with a brutal drive by one-liner.

For reference: Bissonnette played 202 NHL games and scored 22 points in his career. That’s not nothing, at least!

Connor McDavid zinged Paul Bissonnette right after scoring his 60th goal

This was such a savage and unnecessary roast!

Connor McDavid is on top of the world right now.

He’s the favorite for his third career Hart Trophy and has his Edmonton Oilers in a prime position for the upcoming playoffs.

On Wednesday night, McDavid notched 60 goals for the first time in his already illustrious career. He’s the fourth player this century to score at least 60 goals in a season (after Alexander Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, and Auston Matthews) and is the fastest to reach the milestone (just 72 games) in the salary cap era.

After scoring his 60th goal to beat the Arizona Coyotes 4-3 in overtime, McDavid was clearly feeling himself in an NHL on TNT postgame interview. He seemed to (understandably) be over the moon. When analyst Paul Bissonnette — a former NHL player — asked McDavid about whether he could get a special shirt the Oilers star was wearing to spark a comeback, McDavid responded with the most casual zinger:

PHEW. I personally love how McDavid barely cracks a smile while saying Bissonnette is where he should be. That’s what makes the delivery of the joke perfect. Hey, when you’re king of the hockey world, you’re free to say things like this in any tone you want.
