Criticism of Bedard's performance was also noted, with a fan commenting,
He's been terrible.
Trying to do too much. Results in turnovers constantly. He is fixated on finding a good shot that he's gotten tunnel vision and isn't even seeing his wide open teammates.
As Team Canada progresses through the tournament, all eyes will be on Bedard to see if he can adjust his game and regain the trust of his coach.
The hope is that this benching serves as a learning experience for the young player, enabling him to enhance his performance and contribute more effectively to his team's efforts.
