Chicago Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno did not mince his words when asked about the teams recent successful play, throwing former teammate Seth Jones under the bus
The Chicago Blackhawks may not have had the start to the season they wanted to, but their season-ending play has greatly improved.
Kyle Davidson's off-season plan has not panned out as many believed it would, despite the acquisitions of several veterans, the organization still finds themselves at the bottom of the NHL's Standings, one slot above the San Jose Sharks for the league's worst team.
Their second half of the season has been far more impressive though, showing great promise with their youth leading them to key wins over contending teams, such as a 5-1 win against the LA Kings and a 4-1 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
After a recent loss against the Colorado Avalanche and their star-studded roster on Monday, Blackhawks Nick Foligno praised his teams recent efforts and revealed it only took the loss of former players to be traded to kickstart their movement towards success, have a look:
«There's a cohesiveness with the group. We've gotten rid of some distractions, so to speak, and now there's a group that's trying to get better Sometimes when you make hard decisions, they end up benefiting the group, and you're seeing that.»
Some 'distractions' Foligno stated, clearly addressing the blockbuster trade which sent Seth Jones to Florida, which saw the Blackhawks acquire goaltender Spencer Knight, a now-fan favorite goaltender in Chicago.
With past reports of Seth Jones being bad for the Blackhawks' locker room morale, it seems as if they were true after Foligno's words.
