Chicago Blackhawks Coach Fires Shots At Connor Bedard

Luke Richardson makes hilarious comment about Bedard
Offensively, there's little doubt that Bedard will be one of the biggest stars in the NHL in no time if he isn't already, but defensively, there's still a ways to go, and Richardson was asked about that recently.
