Of course, this led to Captain Nick Foligno being dissatisfied with the team's performance and would call out Luke Richardson and the team, for their lack of effort and slow start to the night.
So, it seems Luke Richardson is listening as he has changed it up for the Chicago Blackhawks.
He's demoted Taylor Hall, from the 1st power-play unit, and promoted Nick Foligno to from the 2nd to the 1st.
This was after the Blackhawks power play looked terrible until later in the night.
So Luke Richardson has switched Hall, who the former Hart Trophy winner is having issues getting started. He registered only two shots on goal and scored no goals and no assists.
Hopefully, this demotion can kick Hall into gear and make him production once more.
In 2023-2024, Taylor Hall played 10 games for the Blackhawks and would have his season ended with an ACL injury and surgery to follow.
He only scored 4 points( 2 G, 2 A) in that time frame.
Hall needs to find that player he was in 2019, or at least half that to give the Blackhawks a chance at success.
