That's me in the corner
I considered being cheeky and titling this “Is Bedard a locker room cancer” haha.

Here are some comments Roenick made on his podcast with Tim Peel.


“But there was one player that didn't come up to me, Shelley or Savvy, and that was the superstar of the Chicago Blackhawks, and that's Connor Bedard. Now, I understand he is 19, he's young, he's shy, so on and so forth, but this is, these are the things that have to change in Chicago in order for them to start winning, and that's having the respect, or at least the acknowledgement of, hey, you know, we gotta go up and say hi, and say, you know, way to go, and because we are a family.”

“We're all a family, regardless if we played 20 years ago, or they're playing now, we're all still part of that family. And if we don't have that respect to go up and fist bump to say, hey, congratulations, what's going on? How can you do it with your own teammates, right?

So I'm not ripping on him in terms of, you know, his personality or anything like that. This kid needs to learn as a 19-year-old. This all is his learning curve.

His learning curve has to be, if he's going to be a captain of this team, there's a lot of things that he has to think about in terms of being that leader and being that captain. And unfortunately, he dropped the ball on that opportunity.”


Here’s a link to the full podcast too, if anyone wants it. The discussion starts around 4:20.

I had a Roenick #27 jersey growing up, I guess my mom asked my brother which Blackhawk was my favourite, it wasn’t JR, I loved him as a Hawk, but my favourite Hawk was Dirk Graham…anyways…in 1994-95 I was going to finally see my beloved Blackhawks LIVE for the very first time in Winnipeg(I live in Thunder Bay ON) and maybe two weeks before JR got hurt(knee on knee) by Hatcher…so no JR but I lucked out because the Hawks reaquired Denis Savard! Got to see Savy play as a Hawk!
Anyways I haven’t been impressed with JR and his whole “me, I, this and that” man he likes talking about himself, and while I do believe he had a great career…as it HHoF worthy? HE DEFINITELY THINKS SO

Also fwiw I do think it’s entirely possible Bedard ends up wearing an A instead of the C. Not saying it’s likely, but possible.

Depending on who the Hawks take this summer. Guys like Martone and Schaefer have been lauded for their leadership qualities.

Long ways to go in the rebuild.

Isn't Bedard very superstitious about his pre-game ritual? In junior he had that "incident" where he wouldn't fist bump some kids and raised his stick so nobody could touch it...maybe he just didn't want to be forced into breaking that ritual so he avoided the situation

this also came to mind reading this story, whether you agree with JR or not there were always the stories about how Toews made everyone feel special in a way, that might not be Bedard personality and thats fine, just get the C off the chest of a career 30 point fourth line winger please
