Blackhawks' defenseman Seth Jones Calls Out Superstar Connor Bedard

Defenseman Seth Jones of the Blackhawks' called out Connor Bedard for his failed execution on a play in front of the goal last night, was he wrong?
The Chicago Blackhawks lost 3-2 to Rod Brind'Amour's Carolina Hurricanes, as the team failed to play a solid sixty minutes of hockey.
One play stuck out in particular for us all, as we saw Connor Bedard cut through the Hurricanes like butter, and make it to the crease.
Instead of shooting the puck at Frederik Andersen, he opted to pass to Landon Slaggert, which ultimately ended their scoring chance.
The lack of confidence in the play was apparent, as the team failed to overcome the deficit.
Jones took a shot at Bedard through the media, calling him out for failing to shoot the puck.
As hockey fans, we all know the feeling.
So, Bedard would later do his best to try and even the odds, scoring his 15th goal that night.
But his late-game tally failed to give the Blackhawks a head-up against the Canes, who were able to shut down Bedard with ease.
While Bedard did put up his 45th point of the season, he could have had 46 if he shot the puck earlier.
Ilya Mikheyev and Bedard were the only goal-scorers that night.
However, unlike Bedard, Mikheyev never defers and just attacks.
It seems like maybe Mikheyev should be giving our former 1st overall pick a talking-to about playing with no fear.
Maybe Bedard could've had a two-point game last night instead of just one.
