Blackhawks Connor Bedard faces harsh backlash and fans believe Gary Bettman will throw him out of the game
Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard faces backlash following a controversial move in game one of regular season against Utah Hockey Club
The Chicago Blackhawks' phenom Connor Bedard attempted a gutsy move when his team was down 2-3 on the scoreboard, and he is now facing backlash from fans which will not leave the 19-year old Calder winning forward alone.
Bedard attempted to score the 'Michigan' goal, much like he did last season against the St.Louis Blues which gained the attention of the entire hockey community.
The Blackhawks went on to lose the game 5-2, and fans believe the outcome could have been different if Bedard chose to make a pass, rather than attempting the Michigan.
"Anyone who tries this should be flattened immediately."
Said a fan
"Kid will never play 82 [games] if he keeps that up."
"Not scoring and completely ignoring your line mates as a 1C, very swag please keep it up."
Connor Bedard's hot second season start, tallying one assist in first game, seems much more confident according to himself.
"It feels good for myself, just being maybe a little more relaxed going into it," Bedard said. "I was in the gym and on the ice just trying to put myself in as much of game situations as I can."
Bedard stated his comfort level heading into year two was all brought by his surroundings in Chicago of year 1, which can be credited to the Blackhawks' general manager Kyle Davidson in making a good surrounding, and locker room presence.
"There's just little things that you pick up or you change a little bit after getting used to the league and playing some games,"
Bedard said.
