Connor Bedard Calls Out Blackhawks Reporters For Asking �Boring' Repetitive Questions
Connor Bedard has refused to give interviews during the offseason, as he has focused on working on his game. Practicing like the ferocious player we all know he is, passionate enough to even frustrate Corey Perry.
But he's enjoyed the off-season, as he was able to remove himself from the spotlight.
He hasn't been missing the slog of interviews from the local media, which many professional sports players don't enjoy.
Sometimes their questions are boring, standard, and not at all interesting if we can see it from Bedard's perspective.
I can't really fault him, if you listen to a lot of interviews, it does seem like a Jared Keeso sketch. The one you can find on YouTube?
Yeah, that one!
It's the beginning of training camp and he's already joking about the questions he will have to answer.
As one of the NHL's newest stars, he could approach them with less humor and more professionalism.
That is one perspective if you're an orthodox fan, but I think the time of players being uptight, automatons who approach interviews with a stone-cold persona, giving canned answers is over.
Especially, if we want to grow the game.
While I sympathize with that viewpoint, honestly is there anything in the CBA that states the players have to hold reporter's hands through boring interviews?
The world isn't so black and white as some of us would believe.
Bedard is the Blackhawk's future superstar center, winning the Calder Trophy in 2024, scoring 61 points( 22 G, 39 A) in 68 games with the Blackhawks.
He should survive more boring interviews, but is the bad guy for joking about it? Not in the slightest.
