It's no question Connor Bedard has the spirit of a true competitor. It takes a special drive for someone to develop the sheer amount of skill a player like Bedard has. Now, we are seeing just how far that spirit goes in determining his passion for winning.
After the Blackhawks got smacked by the Red Wings 6-1 in their preseason game, the media had some questions for Bedard. One question in particular was how it felt to lose a game like that despite it only being preseason. Bedard's response had some attitude to it.
This is some sarcasm aimed at the reporter asking a pretty obvious question, but it shows just how Bedard feels about winning no matter the situation. It's also nice to see the young forward get more comfortable in front of the media.
There is a lot of pressure on Bedard to turn things around for the Blackhawks organization this year. The rookie is touted to be the next Patrick Kane for the club. He hasn't let the stardom get to his head though, and it is been clear throughout training camp that he not only belongs in the NHL but is determined to be the best through his work ethic.
