Jeremy Roenick criticizes Connor Bedard for Winter Classic interaction

Connor Bedard, a rising star for the Chicago Blackhawks, faced criticism from former player Jeremy Roenick after the NHL's Winter Classic on New Year's Eve. The game, held at Wrigley Field, ended with the Blackhawks losing 6-2 to the St. Louis Blues. Roenick called out Bedard for not greeting him and other Blackhawks legends at the event. He questioned Bedard's leadership skills, suggesting he has much to improve before becoming the team's captain. This incident highlights the pressure on Bedard as he navigates his early career. As a 19-year-old playing in a high-profile game, he is expected to handle such scrutiny as he develops in the league.
