Chicago Blackhawks leader Nick Foligno had a lot to say about the Blackhawks' preparation level following an 8-1 blowout loss to the Dallas Stars.

Blackhawks Blown Out By Dallas

Last night was a night to forget for the Chicago Blackhawks. They faced off against the Dallas Stars and were absolutely demolished losing by a score of 8-1.

The Blackhawks had nobody that was a plus and four players that were a -3 or worse including Connor Bedard. They certainly struggled on defense and Chicago Blackhawks veteran Nick Foligno may have just revealed why.

Foligno Calls Out The Youngsters For Overworking Themselves

In a post-game interview, Nick Foligno did not hold back and called out many youngsters, presumably including Connor Bedard, for not taking care of themselves on rest days and overworking themselves.

Nick Foligno had a *lot* to say after that one. Said the Blackhawks are teetering on the line between "immaturity and ignorance" when it comes to their readiness to play.

»There has to be a sense of urgency. And a respect factor in the league. Just becoming professionals. That's the fight we're going to have. We understand where we're at and where we're trying to get to, but we need commitment at that part of it, where every day you're preparing, your consistency in how you prepare, your ability to understand the team you're playing, what you need to do to get yourself ready. That's not on coaches. They've done a hell of a job giving us a game plan and what we need to do and the time off that we need to rest and recover. That's on us. And that's the thing that drives me nuts as one of the older guys in the room. We need to figure that out soon. That to me is immaturity or ignorance. It borderlines a little bit. I don't want it to bleed into ignorance - 'Oh, we're young, or this.' That's excuses to me. And that's not a team we're going to be built on. We owe it to ourselves and to our fans to be a better version and every game we have to strive for that.»

With the Blackhawks being fatigued, overwork could be the true reason behind their struggles. Hopefully, they can clear things up before something more serious than a blowout loss happens.
