I’m not a reporter by any means but how bad do you have to be at your job to think asking about something like that would be a good idea? The rumors were clearly made up from the beginning and now with them being dispelled and everything why would you bring something like that back up again. Dude is 18 and shouldn’t have to be dealing with this shit and should just be able to focus on playing hockey.

Who knew /hockeycirclejerk would make it to an actual interview

As bad as I feel for Bedard having to address this why the fuck is this reporter asking this question when it has been debunked by many? Reporters need to be better and be professional. This guy should be fired.
PreciousRoy78
Fuck that reporter
hockhike
18 year old affected by rumours that a team mate has been railing their mom.
I mean, the dude’s 18, superstar or not, of course that’s not what he wants to deal with.
fjordperfect123
I wish Bedard had a bouncer. The first stupid question results in an automatic 2 minute silence for everybody to reflect on how stupid that question was and then the offender is asked to leave for that day.
After a total of 20 stupid questions by anyone holding a microphone interviewers will be required to submit their questions ahead of time if they want to gain access to the meeting.
Otterslayer22
Who was the reporter. Chirping the empty void that is the internet is one thing.
But to ask this kid directly is another. Fuck that guy.

It’s kinda funny to watch people pushing back on these rumours getting downvoted 3 days ago, while pumping up the worst rumours. And now watching the exact opposite happen
hotc00ter
Man, how slow of a news day would have to be having to ask Bedard THAT?
Salty-Consequence580
Why y’all keep saying it’s a bad question if it is really interesting since that’s what y’all talked about last days and threads had 300 comments
StevenSoul-Life
Fuck these rumors. The kid is 18 and everyone is talking shit about his mom. These dude is a beast for how he’s handled it.

Reporter should be fired

Somebody get this reporters name..
skruiss
Tells them he doesn’t wanna talk about it anymore. They proceed to ask more questions…..

What a POS reporter. Why asked such a stupid question
aNINETIEZkid
Mouth breathing media and spectators on the spectrum put so much energy into this imagined non story absolutely slandering Momma Bedard and 99% of them disappear after without any trace of responsibility or apology for being a POS
typical reddit behaviour
MMA community is going crazy over Ian Garry personal life calling him a cuck
What the fuck
Josherline
Good answer. Poor kid
just_matt85
mild shock.
maybe a hockey related question?
SUEVASNITUP
Sure its fake….😉
Material-Race-5107
😂 people calling the reporter a piece of shit and justifying spreading it around because iTs jUsT tHe iNtErNet. This sub has some truly donkey brained cesspools running amok. Spreading false rumors that affect the family and wellbeing of an 18 year old is unbelievably pathetic.
Decent_Brick1150
I’m pretty sure that rumor was started on r/nhl
Clean_Priority_4651
So he’s confirmed it.
Hawaiian_Brian
The kid just entered the nhl and he already has to deal with this crap. Come. On.
RoadRobert103
From the little ive read and heard about this situation it sounds like they just wanted to get rid of him and started a rumor. When do we get to the part where we learn what actually happened? In my head nothing actually hapoened until then, its all people spreading rumors and other bullshit.
-UnicornFart
And people wonder why athletes don’t want to speak to reporters. Why the fuck would you ask him this?! Ask him about hockey FFS.
Fucking trash.
Aspiring-Old-Guy
I feel so bad that this is interfering with his rookie season.
SchemeSignificant166
What a horrible thing for a young man in his position to deal with. As if there’s not enough pressure already on him that a bunch of online trolls have to go and make up a bunch of inflammatory garbage to make his life even harder.
Connor took the highroad and handled this like a pro.
inthefade2659
I think we all know by now it’s not true, there’s no reason to keep hounding the kid about it so you can get clicks for your publication

Lashing out at his mom’s new boyfriend
Shiny_Mew76
Incredibly sad such a young player has to go through this. He hasn’t even played half a season and already has to deal with these horrible rumors.
He isn’t even an adult yet. Let him focus on playing the game. Leave him and his family out of your dumb and disgusting internet jokes.
Canadian__Ninja
Abolish reporters for thinking they “had” to ask that question
Recurve1440
Bedard’s reply is mature and the best way to handle this nonsense.
passivesadness
His best response would be to say, with a chuckle, he thought it was pretty funny how ridiculous the rumor was but also that he was disappointed some people could be that stupid to believe it. Players are going to be chirping him about it until he retires after saying it had a negative effect on him.
Scazzz
God I thought toronto reporters where the bottom of the barrel. What a piece of shit.
Aggravating-Fig-2916
That reporter should be fired. That’s a Highly inappropriate question.
