Jets owner boarded Hawks’ bus to apologize to Connor Bedard for Winnipeg media’s continuous questions about made-up rumors in Corey Perry situation.

1. Was this Friesen? Bad look for Winnipeg. Oof.

2. As I understood it, it was all of twitter, reddit, social media in general… indulging in stupid, adolescent, unfunny “humour” and completely unsourced and unverified allegations.

   Did actual media types get in on this too?

3. I assume it was Chipman, and not Thompson. Good on him though for trying to make things right as best he could.

4. Kenny didn’t think he did anything wrong. Even said on the post-game show he was in conversation with The Blackhawks and they thanked him for asking the question.
   This is not verbatim but the gist.

5. Very classy, kudos to Jets ownership.

   Maybe now when Bedard gets tired of losing in Chicago, he’ll accept a trade to Winnipeg. 😁

6. It is amazing how quickly that rumor took off.

7. Canadian local hockey media tends to be the bottom of the barrel, especially in the prairies. I hate the Hawks organization and hope that they somehow fold before I’m done typing this post, but Bedard didn’t deserve any of that

8. Media is always looking for sensational shit even if it’s speculation/unfounded rumours or just straight B.S. journalism is dying.

9. And crazy thing supposedly the media know exactly what happened
