Blackhawks Bytes Foligno Style: Bedard, Dickinson, More

Welcome to the January edition of Blackhawks Bytes, a series featuring quotes and comments from players, coaches, management, journalists and fans alike concerning everything Chicago Blackhawks. The purpose of this ongoing column is to capture a slice of the existing outlook, attitudes and culture surrounding the team. Please join me as we have some fun with the everyday, albeit fascinating aspect of human nature; the power of words.
I’ve joked since the beginning of the 2023-24 season that veteran forward Nick Foligno is such a good quote I could feature him in every single monthly Blackhawks Bytes. As a matter of fact, he’s actually been in most of them. Now, in honor of the Blackhawks re-signing the 36-year-old to a two-year contract with a $4.5 million annual cap hit, I’ve decided to dedicate an entire Bytes to this special player. After all, Foligno’s character epitomizes the identity and culture the Blackhawks are trying to build, and the intangibles of extending him are well worth it. Over the past several days there’s been plenty of great quotes and quips from Foligno, and about Foligno. So let’s get to it!
Love that guy!
