Nick Foligno Has Had Enough Of Connor Bedard's Comments On The Bench
During the summer, the Blackhawks hit the jackpot by securing the first overall pick in the draft and selecting Connor Bedard. Around the same time, they made a strategic move by acquiring Nick Foligno from the Boston Bruins.
Since then, Foligno's presence has had a profound impact on Bedard's life in Chicago. Acting almost like a father figure, Nick often extends invitations to Connor for dinner, and they frequently spend time together, whether it's playing with Nick's kids or practicing on the ice.
Their bond extends beyond off-ice activities and onto the playing surface, where they now find themselves on the first line together. Their chemistry is evident, even leading to some lighthearted banter between shifts.
It's heartwarming to witness Bedard's growth, not just as a player, but also as someone who values camaraderie and connection, particularly with seasoned veterans like Foligno.
