Darrin Pang (intermission interview of Connor Bedard): That shot you took would have gotten by my glove side.

Bedard: "I think anything would have gotten by your glove side."

ZING!

I gotta be honest, I just don't care about this four nations farce the NHL won't shut the hell up about. I'll keep saying the best international tournament is the world jr tournament. Who's actually excited about this gimmick mid season tournament?

I haven't a single second of the 4 Nations tournament, I could careless who wins it all however this really needs to be said. So team USA beat team Canada in Canada last night. Last month. Last month team Canada got bounced in the world's jrs. 1993 was the last time a Canadian franchise won the Stanley Cup. The last two Canadian teams that went to the final loss to two teams based out of Florida. And then was 2006 to North Carolina and 2007 to California. This whole thing of Canada dominating the sport of hockey is dead. Other countries have caught up whether they like it or not. The sooner Canada realizes that the better.

Lol at USA hockey fans crying that Canada a bullshit mid season tournament that means nothing in long term. Who cares let them have because chances are that none of Canadian franchises will win the Stanley Cup so let them have their Four Nations title I'll settle for the Stanley Cup any day of the week.

Nobody wants to talk hockey no more 😭🥺

I'll be honest, I just don't care anymore. For one thing it's October unless there's a coach that's on the hot seat there's nothing I find interesting this early. My team probably won't make the playoffs again so I'm not even going to bother. And then there's Olympics where they have to pause the season to send players over possibly risking injury because playing for your country matters more than making the playoffs. It's funny to me that there will be people in Buffalo getting excited for Team USA meanwhile the Sabres haven't made the playoffs since Ryan Miller was their starting goaltender 🤷🏿‍♂️

Hawks have been awful since bringing back the black sweater, even went down 3 - 0 in the first and looked like they had nothing in the tank for some reason.  They proceeded to score 5 unanswered goals for the win!  MacTavish was trying hard to get at Bedard, including after the final whistle.  Murphy jumped on him.  Expect fireworks at the next meeting.

BTW - Who the heck made this schedule?  The Hawks play the Kings twice, back to back - both in LA.  I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Nice tribute for Johnathan Toews at the UC.  He had to make 6 or 7 loops around the ice because the Hawks faithful just kept the standing O going.

Game finally resumes and there's a commercial break.  The crowd erupts and I have no idea why.  Finally they show that Pete Crow-Armstrong (Cubs) is sitting in the front row in a red Hawks sweater...right next to Caleb Williams (Bears) in a black Hawks sweater.

SALT LAKE CITY — Connor Bedard didn’t raise his arms. Didn’t rush over to Tyler Bertuzzi to give him a big hug. Heck, he didn’t even smile.

After firing a perfect pass between Ian Cole’s legs and onto Bertuzzi’s stick for the tap-in equalizer early in the third period of Thursday night’s game against the Utah Mammoth, Bedard simply turned away from the net and stared daggers directly into the eyes of a single Utah fan.

“I kinda deserved it,” McClain Lindquist said — a little sheepish, a little proud.

It was fitting that Lindquist works in the funeral business, because it was an absolute death stare from Bedard. Lindquist told The Athletic — after laughingly telling the child next to him not to listen — that he had been repeatedly pointing at Bedard and telling him that “Logan Cooley was his daddy.” Since Lindquist was sitting inches from the glass in special seating in the Zamboni tunnel, Bedard heard him every time and had glanced his way a couple of times before the goal.

So after the goal, Bedard knew exactly where to look.

“It was awesome,” Lindquist said. “Good for him. I thought it was great.”

Right after Lindquist said that, Frank Nazar knocked in the go-ahead goal right in front of where he was sitting. The Salt Lake City resident immediately started scanning the ice to see if Bedard was on the ice and was going to come back to him. He wasn’t.

“I thought it was funny,” Bedard said afterward. “He’ll probably tell his kids about it.”

Bedard wasn’t done with the Utah fans, either. After he buried an Alex Vlasic rebound for the overtime winner — giving Chicago its fourth win in four tries against the Mammoth this season, including a third in the last 12 days — Bedard again went right to the glass to stare down some fans. Only this time, he was on the other end of the rink. Afterward, Bedard deadpanned that he couldn’t remember if he was looking at a specific fan.

Bedard was feeling feisty throughout the Blackhawks’ 3-2 victory. He got into a prolonged wrestling match with MacKenzie Weegar just outside the Utah crease, then later knocked Weegar off his feet with a big hit in the corner. Facing the Mammoth for the third time in 12 days, some bad blood had built up.

But it was Bedard’s interactions with the Utah fans that were most memorable. And the Blackhawks loved it.

“I’m trying to go celebrate with him, and I see him looking into the crowd,” Bertuzzi said with a laugh.

Bedard, as he does, shrugged most of it off.

“It just gets you going a bit,” he said. “I don’t know. It’s fun playing on the road. Especially when you win. It (gets) pretty quiet.”
