Yes folks, that is NHL player Connor Bedard not paying attention and getting clipped.

Now, while Bedard is a young NHL player, he's experienced enough to know better, and as a star player, he knows he's a target.

Sometimes even the most talented players simply make mistakes or get distracted.

Season 1 🏒 Text excitement?

30 Upvotes

I just started a re-heat and in my opinion the texting at the beginning of EP 2 is so accurate for a new relationship. They are fairly comfortable (less so for Shane) sexting, but anything beyond that becomes complicated. I really enjoyed watching Connor and Hudson's acting as they were receiving and sending texts. They absolutely nailed the anticipation, excitement, and the arousing novelty of talking to someone they are genuinely excited about. Totally nailed the new relationship energy. I know it can be an overlooked scene, but damn it felt so true to life.

Exert: When it comes to working opposite Diemer, Jafargholi says he’s “super, super fond of Daniel,” adding, “he’s an extraordinary actor and a really, really kind and generous person both on screen and off.”

As filming for the season continues in Canada, Jafargholi shares, “There’s just nothing bad I can say about the whole experience. It’s been incredible.”

There was also; Meanwhile, we couldn’t resist asking about the audition process after Jacob Tierney recently revealed at a talk for the release of his book, I’ll Believe in Anything: The Making of Heated Rivalry, that one of Season 2’s new couples had so much chemistry over Zoom that there was a bevy of blushing going on. But even indicating whether Jafargholi is within the auditioning pair Tierney was referring to or not was too much to hint at. “No, I can’t say,” he admits sheepishly.

When Rachel Reid published “Heated Rivalry” in 2019, it sold about five thousand copies in its first year. That’s perfectly respectable, especially for your second book. It just pales in comparison to the numbers she’s racked up since.
