THN.com/podcast. From THN On The 'E': ECHL's Best Goalies Since 2017 and Rule Changes Connor Bedard [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MTk5NzU3MDc0ODUzMjc0NzI3/usatsi_20963257.jpg] Connor Bedard From more Stanley Cup parties to inline hockey, the NHL world is making the most of the end of July, before August marks the final month before teams head to training camps. Let's look at what the final week of July provided us: CONNOR BEDARD PUTS ON A SHOW IN THE SUMMER Connor Bedard may not be skating on ice right now, but he's still putting in work at the rink. The Chicago Blackhawks' first overall pick of the 2023 NHL draft was playing in North Vancouver's North Shore Inline Hockey League and took it upon himself to put up another highlight-reel goal. What surface should Bedard score on next? Maybe he should try his hand at underwater hockey. STANLEY CUP SNACKS RETURN Over the many generations, players and staff have eaten a variety of foods out of Lord Stanley's Cup, from poutine to cereal to seafood. This past week, Vegas Golden Knights assistant coach Ryan Craig decided the food of choice would be perogies during his day with the Cup in Brandon, Man. As Craig takes on the head coaching position with the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights for next season, the mission will now be to eat perogies out of the Calder Cup next summer. KEITH YANDLE SHOWS ANDERS LEE ALL ABOUT REMOTE-CONTROLLED GOLF BALLS Hitting a big putt can be a pressure-packed moment during a round of golf, but what if the ball has a mind of its own? As NHL analyst Keith Yandle shows New York Islanders captain Anders Lee, sometimes making a putt can be a little tougher when you're playing with a ball you can't completely control. A full round of golf with Keith Yandle pranking a player on every hole of a course might be worthy of a full-length segment on the NHL on TNT this upcoming season.
