A recent photoshoot was taken with Blackhawks superstar Connor Bedard as he reenacted a picture from the beloved 1980s movie Ferris Buellers' Day Off which some Red Wings fans felt disrespected.

During the movie, there's a scene where Bueller's friend Cameron was standing in front of the painting A Sunday on La Grande Jatte while wearing a Gordie Howe Red Wings jersey. Bedard recreated the same scene in front of the same picture while wearing his own jersey for the Blackhawks.

In the recreation of the scene, Bedard can be seen in front of the same incredible painting by Georges Seurat while wearing his own Chicago Blackhawks sweater. There is something magical about Original Six sweaters in front of amazing paintings.
