Fans Clamor For Steve Larmer's Number to be retired
It is expected that Connor Bedard will be an exceptional offensive player and could potentially change the game for the Chicago Blackhawks. The team has had other offensive talents in the past, such as Steve Larmer, who was known for scoring a significant number of goals during his rookie season.
However, despite his impressive accomplishments, Larmer's number has not been retired by the Blackhawks, nor has he been inducted into the Hockey Hall
of Fame.
Fans have taken to Twitter to express their disappointment, as it seems that Larmer has been overlooked by the Chicago Blackhawks with no real explanation as to why.
Throughout his career, Larmer scored 43 goals and 47 assists in his rookie season, and went on to have five 40-goal seasons while playing for the Blackhawks.
