Blackhawks putting Bedard's health at great risk following announcement
The Chicago Blackhawks are causing a stir with their recent announcement about Connor Bedard's possible return to the ice.
Elliotte Friedman reported that the Blackhawks and Bedard are talking to doctors about him playing in tonight's game against Pittsburgh. While it might sound good, there are concerns.
One big issue is that Bedard hasn't done any contact drills in practice since his injury well over one month ago. This is unusual and raises concerns about whether he's really ready to play again.
Also, with no practice today, Bedard would go into the game without the usual warm-up. This could put his health at risk.
Fans are waiting for more updates, but many are worried about rushing Bedard back into play. We'll have to see how this turns out and what it means for Bedard and the team.
