Connor Bedard was visibly frustrated as the Chicago Blackhawks had trouble generating any offense in a crushing 5-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at home on Thursday.
Bedard had a tough time throughout the game. He had one shot on goal, two blocked shots, one missed opportunity and hit the post during the second period. In the third period, he was slashed by the Avs' Josh Manson; however, no call was made by the officials on the play.
As Bedard returned to the bench, the rookie vented his frustration by slamming a few things, seemingly as a result of the no-call on the slash. One fan, reacting to Bedard's outburst, tweeted:
"Lmao bro is such a baby"
Another chimed in:
"Dude might break something getting that aggressive. He’s so fragile"
