Toronto Media is Furious After The Blackhawks Refusal to Their Reporters
The Chicago Blackhawks are the latest team to join a growing trend of limiting media access for their players, particularly when facing the Toronto Maple Leafs. This decision comes after the Montreal Canadiens took a similar stance in a recent matchup against the Leafs.
The move by the Blackhawks to shield their young star, Connor Bedard, from the Toronto media is raising eyebrows and the Toronto media is not please.
Don't know why the NHL allows it It's like the league doesn't want to be covered" -Toronto Star Reporter Kevin McGran
Toronto's media landscape can be notoriously intense, and teams are increasingly concerned about the potential pressures it can impose on their players.
By restricting access, the Blackhawks aim to protect their players, particularly Bedard, from the potential scrutiny and pressure that can come with dealing with the Toronto media before a big matchup. This strategy allows the team to focus on their performance on the ice, rather than becoming entangled in media distractions.
