Mark Lazerus a réussi à traquer le fan que Bédard dévisageait après sa passe décisive à Bertuzzi en 3e et à l’interviewer. C’est le sport professionnel à son meilleur !

Any summary? Not paying for this.
Summary, some fan chirped that Logan Cooley was Bedards daddy. So when Bedard banked that one in off Bert, that’s who he was staring at.
Fan loved it. Bedard commented that the dude will probably tell his kids about it.
Hilarious, epic game that’ll go down in Bedard lore. From the article, most of it anyway…
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.”
I am so glad Laz did this. 🤣😂 that was epic
Geez, McClain as a first name…
