He's worried that the team, especially the younger players, is kinda caught between not being ready and not knowing what to do on the ice. Blackhawks reporter Mark Lazarus shared Foligno's direct comments about it, stating;
Foligno's words are raising eyebrows, especially with how younger players like Connor Bedard performed. In the recent 8-1 loss to the Dallas Stars on New Year's Eve, Bedard ended up with the second-worst plus-minus rating.
Foligno seems to be talking directly to the younger guys, Bedard included, saying they need to be more grown-up and focused during the games.
As the Blackhawks deal with challenges, Foligno's straight talk adds an interesting twist to the team vibe. It'll be interesting to see how the players take these words and if things change within the team.
