Bedard's spectacular toe-drag goal on Thursday against the Islanders seemed to flagrantly defy the laws of physics.

At 11:04 of the third, the Blackhawks started their climb back into the game. TJ Brodie scored his first goal as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks. On the goal, Bedard collected his 17th assist of the season which is a great number for a 19-year-old.

Hawks interim coach Anders Sorensen has emphasized the importance of motion for Bedard while also listening to Bedard's own ideas about things that could help him.

The Blackhawks might be better under Sorensen than they were under Luke Richardson. But they’re not going to be perfect. Not by a long shot. Roller-coaster periods like the third period at UBS Arena might be the norm for a little while.
