Connor Bedard Displays Major Frustration After a Brutal Missed Call
Thursday night's clash between the Colorado Avalanche and the Chicago Blackhawks turned out to be a one-sided affair, with the Avalanche dominating the Blackhawks with a commanding 5-0 victory.
Throughout the game, there was a clear focus on Connor Bedard, and his frustration was palpable, evident to all watching.
Whenever the Chicago Blackhawks take the ice, Connor Bedard becomes a marked man, and despite the Avalanche's position at the top of the division, they made sure to keep the pressure on him all night. Unfortunately for Bedard, Thursday's game didn't go his way.
Not only did Bedard end the night with a -3 rating, but he also managed just one shot on goal, two hits, and a minor interference penalty. To add insult to injury, Josh Manson delivered a slash to Bedard's arm right in front of the official, but no call was made. Understandably, Bedard was visibly frustrated, as evidenced by his actions:
Upon returning to the bench, Bedard expressed his displeasure with the referee, shouting in frustration and slamming the bench door. He even had another altercation with Manson later in the game, showing he wasn't afraid to stand up for himself.
