Nick Foligno Makes Major Declaration to Connor Bedard on the Bench
The Chicago Blackhawks brought in a few veterans last summer to help in Connor Bedard's development. After Corey Perry's controversial departure and Taylor Hall's injury from the team a few months ago, Nick Foligno stepped in to take Bedard under his wing.
Last night, a funny moment between the veteran and the rookie was captured by a hot mic.

Foligno got the fans chuckling with a major declaration he made to Connor Bedard at the bench.
Here's what he said:

Bedard had an impressive performance last night, tallying five points. Check out the highlights:

With only 16 games remaining to the Blackhawks' season, it'll be interesting to see if the organization decides to give Foligno a contract extension, as he'll be a free agent next summer.
