Chicago Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno calls out referees over blatant missed call
Nick Foligno, captain of the Chicago Blackhawks, was furious after a loss to the Vancouver Canucks are an obvious missed call by the officials on a Vancouver goal.
No one is really expecting huge things from the Chicago Blackhawks this season as the team continues its rebuild centred around star youngster Connor Bedard. However, that doesn't make losing any easier, especially when you feel that the officials had a big role in it. Blackhawks captain Nick Foligno was not a happy camper last night following a 6-3 loss to the Vancouver Canucks where he felt the refs missed an obvious call.
Late in the second period of the game, Conor Garland of the Vancouver Canucks scored a goal to give his team a 4-2 lead. Replays clearly showed Vancouver has as many as seven skaters on the ice at the time.
Nick Foligno, who signed a new two-year deal with the Chicago Blackhawks early this year, was frustrated with how things went down, saying the officials got it wrong and admitted as much to him.
Nick Foligno, who was named captain of the Chicago Blackhawks in September, said the blown call wasn't the reason why his team lost to the Vancouver Canucks, but he was clearly frustrated with how things went down. It's hard to blame him. Once the goal goes up on the board, it's pretty much impossible to call it back, even if officials realize in hindsight that it wasn't the right call. The admission almost makes it worse. The NHL needs an avenue for these blown calls. The regular season is one thing; the Stanley Cup playoffs are entirely different, especially when your entire year is on the line.
