Notably, several players, including Connor Bedard, had a challenging night. Foligno's comments after the game hinted at underlying issues within the team. <h2>Seasoned Player Speaks on Team Dynamics</h2> In his post-game interview, Foligno candidly spoke about the team's younger members. He suggested that they might be overexerting themselves on rest days, affecting their performance during games. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MarkLazerus/status/1741670180533489832?s=20'> </a></blockquote></div> <q>»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.»</q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/MarkLazerus/status/1741672063037813137?s=20'> </a></blockquote></div> Foligno's insights indicate that overworking might be a factor in the Blackhawks' recent struggles. The team will need to address these issues to avoid further setbacks.
