Video surfaces and it exposes the true colors of captain Nick Foligno and Connor Bedard
The team really seems to be gelling, as last night they cemented their dominance over an Edmonton Oilers team that is considered one of the best in the NHL.
No matter, they shut them and Connor McDavid, and Zach Hyman, and held Leon Draisaitl to just one point on the night.
The Blackhawks would run roughshod over Calvin Pickard, putting 5 goals on the Oilers' backup goalie.
Kris Knoblauch's arrogance was on display, as the Blackhawks dismantled the Oilers' weapons, one at a time.
And the man who's been leading the Blackhawks team this season? Nick Foligno.
After the 5-2 win, the Blackhawks held a postgame meeting, where Foligno would display his leadership skills.
He spoke of how well the team played that night but stressed how well the Blackhawks needed to play in the 3rd period.
It was obvious how much that resonated, and how the team respected Foligno's leadership. The processes they have implemented seem to have paid off, and that resulted in Teuvo Teraveinen scoring 4 points(2 G, 2 A) last night, while Connor Bedard had a 3-point night, with (1 G, 2 A), and was a vital part of the victory over the Oilers.
He also was amazed like we were with Turbo's performance last night, as no one would've expected the 2 goal night he had. Looking like Turbo of old!
There were 8 Blackhawks last night who scored a point against the Edmonton Oilers, which goes to show it was a game where it wasn't only Connor Bedard dragging the team to the finish line.
GM Kyle Davidson may have finally accomplished what he set out to do, and that is to make the Blackhawks a competitive team in the NHL again.
