Jess Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 lol this will just become a trivia question 20 years from now: "How many NHL games did Connor Bedard play before getting his first supplemental discipline from the DOPS?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goalie29 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 It wouldn't surprise me if this was the marketing department's idea and not the players' idea. Bedard wasn't the only one that went bucketless for their rookie lap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Wrong Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Didn’t Bo once get a puck in the face while not wearing a helmet during warmup? Afterwards he said it was the last time he didn’t wear one. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedard wasn't the only one that went bucketless for their rookie lap. Apparently it was Corey Perry and a few of the vets saying you only get one rookie lap, so make the most of it. Makes for great marketing material. Plus wearing a helmet through a full hockey career is likely going to illicit hair loss so probably a good idea to go bucketless as a keepsake memory. “Bedard's young teammate, Kevin Korchinski, said that it was the other players of the Blackhawks, their new veteran teammates (like Corey Perry) who told them not to wear a helmet during warm-ups. "They kept saying, 'You only get one rookie lap in your entire life, guys! Make the most of it!', so Connor and I did." So there you have it! It came from the other Hawks veterans, not from Bedard, but still!” https://www.habsfanatics.com/The-real-reason-behind-Gary-Bettman-fine-on-Connor-Bedard-is-revealed-and-it-not-what-we-thought-285992 Edited October 16, 2023 by RWJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember who, but I'm pretty sure there was a rookie on another team that did the same thing on opening night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DM_Ranger Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I'm sure the vets will pay for the fine. $5000 between the team to allow a rookie lap without a helmet is pocket change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapper Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Kinda like sending the new stores employee at the hospital up to maternity for some female.urinals .... lots of industries have rookie set up gags and that's what this was ..... even to rookies the fines are pocket change and I'm sure thr vets had a good laugh knowing they feel for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Doubt he'll care, it's pocket change for him at this point. But yeah, I don't think anyone should be surprised by this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
