Blackhawks Connor Bedard's Frustrations Boil Over in Post Winter Classic Loss Interview
Blackhawks star, Connor Bedard, gave a brutal assessment on how his team played, as they had lost 6-2 against the St. Louis Blues at Wrigley Field in the 2025 Winter Classic.
He told the media after the game that he felt that his team was dog walked by the Blues, as the effort was not there and felt the team laid an egg in front of their fans.
He also explained that the price of those tickets did not justify what kind of effort that was put on the ice which made the situation even worse.
This embarrassing effort will not go unrecognized, as the game was in front of a very large audience and showed that the Blackhawks are still a work in progress that needs significant change in order to become a perennial winner.
Blackhawks fans also took their opinions to the X platform and stated that they did not want to see anymore winter classics in front of them as the Blackhawks have not won any of them as of yet when played.
NHL Continues To Look For Growth
These outdoor games are all part of the NHL's way to continue to grow the game in various ways, including large stadiums such as football stadiums and stadiums overseas like the NHL global series.
The NHL did not disappoint as they put on a spectacle for all the fans but it's safe to say the fans did not just come for fanfare but to see the Blackhawks defeat one of their oldest rivals in front of their home crowd which unfortunately they did not do.
It will be back to the drawing board for head coach, Anders Sorensen, as they would like to put this game behind them and move on to the next contest.
