Blackhawks Nick Foligno to conceivably receive punishment from Bettman after calling out NHL referees
Blackhawks take big loss against Canucks, Captain Nick Foligno faces potential discipline following postgame comments
The Blackhawks took a hard fall to the Vancouver Canucks Tuesday night at the United Center, making it two straight losses. Many believe the game would've been different after a NHL official missed a penalty on the Canucks, including team captain Nick Foligno.
The Canucks' fourth goal sparked frustration as they had seven players on the ice at the time, a clear too many men penalty which was missed. Foligno did not mince his words, stating:
Blackhawks radio host Charlie Roumelotis shared a clip that proved Vancouver's too many men missed call, where the Vancouver Canucks had seven skaters on the ice.
Foligno believed that the missed call swung momentum of the game, when the Canucks scored a goal with seven players on the ice, eight including their goaltender. Foligno was further disappointed in his linemates as well, stating:
Ryan Donato, Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi's goals were not enough for the Blackhawks to overtake the Canucks, and now the Blackhawks face the Nashville Predators this Friday.
