Hall and Athanasiou missing basically the whole year and Perry doing whatever he did a fifth of the way into the season was a bit of bad luck. Add in Reichel being a complete dud this season and all of that that created a less than ideal environment for Bedard thus far... the bright side is even with all that, he's still managed to do well. Hopefully next season the luck in the "expected top 6 wingers" department bounces the other way and Bedard can have a steady linemate along with some decent options and watch him really take him off. I'm not raising any alarms or thinking the Hawks should go around offering up their picks or committing 7 years or anything drastic just because there's some frustration.If Hall and Athanasiou were healthy the talent gap wouldn't be this stark.
By the way, SGPs that fade the Blackhawks are a nice way to smooth any frustrations of watching the current roster.
Even better, the post-game guy said he mentioned it to Reese in passing and he was like "yeah, I agree, I've definitely thought about it"He'd lie down on 294 to win a hockey game. Reese is all heart. All gas no brakes.
He's just really bad.
So in addition to that, he's the guy who broods on how he could murder all his teammates if it ever got to that.
