Is there dissension in the Chicago Blackhawks ranks? Jason Dickinson and Nick Foligno had an altercation today at practice.

The Chicago Blackhawks are a team who are in the thrall of chaos, as even with Anders Sorensen, they cannot seem to move past their own struggles.

The team sits 8th in the Central Division, with a record of 13-25-2 and Nick Foligno will have to answer to every single player on the team.

He is the leader and is supposed to provide a vision for the way the team plays on the ice. We're not sure it's translating lately, as we used to see the team mount a comeback in the 3rd.

Nowadays, it seems less and less so that the team can be counted on to play a full 60 minutes despite Foligno's prostrations.

Honestly, in this scenario, Jason Dickinson could be all of us who are frustrated with a team that sold us improvement. He proceeded to smash his stick as well.

A team that spent close to $26 Million in free agency only to be bottom-dwellers once again.

Dickinson is frustrated with the team's ability to finish a game consistently i'm sure. They have a -35 goal differential in the NHL this season, ranked last in the Central.

Dickinson himself isn't producing up to expectations, as this season he's produced 13 points( 7 G, 6 A) in 40 games this season.

While Nick Foligno does little to foster a winning attitude, it seems like he might be replicating his time in Columbus.

A period in his career that ended in tears, as they reached the post-season but were unable to win a Stanley Cup or more than one round in the NHL playoffs.

Who can really blame Jason Dickinson for being frustrated? I know I can't.

Dickinson will be a UFA at the expiry of his contract in 2026 and currently makes $4.25 Million.

Will he be the first to go in March?
