Over the last few minutes, journalists in Winnipeg did not hesitate and they asked the question to Connor Bedard.
"Winnipeg media asked Connor Bedard about the impact of the Perry «rumors» today. Frankly, I don't think this was an appropriate time to do so. But I do think his response is worth posting:
«It's just a bunch of BS on the internet. It's of course been an affect on myself and my family, and that's not fair. But it's out of our control. It's all just fake, made-up stuff.»
- Connor Bedard"
There you go! Good response from the young Bedard, even though he absolutely did not have to respond.
It was the first time he had spoken out on this matter.
