Connor Bedard, the emerging NHL sensation, stood out during his face-off with the Boston Bruins. However, a controversial on-ice decision overshadowed his performance.
In the game's early phase, Bedard stunned with a sharp goal and followed it up with a memorable celebration, displaying his innate skill and creativity.
To the dismay of many, the NHL invalidated the goal post a video review, citing the Hawks' offside position.
Though the offside wasn't immediately flagged during the game and the Hawks had maintained presence in the Bruins' zone for some time before netting the goal, the goal was disallowed. The fact that the offside was marginal and seemingly irrelevant to the goal only added to the controversy.
Ryan Whitney, ex-NHL player and now part of Spittin' Chiclets, voiced his strong disapproval of the league's decision in a video on X.
