Jeremy Roenick criticizes Connor Bedard for Winter Classic greeting absence

Jeremy Roenick criticized Connor Bedard for not greeting him at the Winter Classic, claiming it showed a lack of respect for hockey history. Roenick, along with other former players, was a guest of honor at the event. Roenick's comments were seen as unnecessary, especially since Bedard was focused on playing the game. Many believe Roenick should have addressed his concerns privately rather than publicly airing them on his podcast. Roenick's remarks included unfounded claims about Bedard's relationships with teammates. This incident marks a return to controversy for Roenick, who had been relatively low-profile since his firing from NBC Sports in 2019.
