Boston Bruins head coach throws shade at Blackhawks Nick Foligno

The Boston Bruins have an excellent coach in Jim Montgomery as they have made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs for the 2nd time in a row under his leadership.
Nick Foligno, now Alternate Captain for the Chicago Blackhawks was a mainstay in the Bruins lineup.
But you could question, how Monty used him as he was mainly in his usage a bottom-six forward.
Whereas with the Blackhawks, Luke Richardson has found a way to utilize his skills in all situations. Foligno has found multiple ways to be relevant including his mentorship with rookie,
Connor Bedard.
Foligno has been used on the power-play, penalty kill and is able to move up and down a lineup. A testament to his skills.
However it seems that Montgomery never valued Foligno correctly, as he threw some shade at Foligno comparing him to plug, Pat Maroon.
Maroon, now a 4th line grinder who was a benefactor of being on the Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues to give him relevance, was compared to Foligno.
Where, Foligno is nowhere as terrible a player as Pat Maroon, intentionally or not this is shade of the lowest kind.
Foligno has been a leader everywhere he lands in the NHL and was one of the Columbus Blue Jackets' most important players during his tenure there, deserves more respect, in our opinion.
