A smiling Connor Bedard on having three disallowed goals this season: “Yeah, it’s nuts, ay? I don’t know, I guess Toronto doesn’t like me too much. No, it’s out of my control and obviously you try not to get frustrated by it.” #Blackhawks
Bedard on his three overturned goals: “It’s nuts, eh? I guess Toronto doesn’t like me too much! But nah, it’s out of my control. I try not to get too frustrated by it. It was nice to get one after, kinda cancel it out.”
We shouldn't lose sight of how ridiculous Connor Bedard has played just because of how poorly the Blackhawks have fared. If anything, to produce at the rate he's produced — and in the fashion he's produced — on this team is sort of mind-blowing.
FINAL: Hurricanes 6, Blackhawks 3 Connor Bedard's three points were not nearly enough to save the Hawks from their 21st consecutive road loss.

Spencer Martin gives Connor Bedard a shove at the end of the second period and Bedard chops back. Dmitry Orlov pushed Bedard into his goaltender on this play, so I'm not sure what Martin is upset about. #Blackhawks https://t.co/63ujqejCtp
