Foligno is the freakin man! We love having him here in chicago. Great role model.

[@patdee5239]

What a cool well spoken guy.

[@RABSTRAINS]

I have always liked Nick. He is an awesome person and player. We miss you in Columbus Nick. You are the BEST👍 Chicago, you have one hell of a guy! I hope he remains in hockey once he retires as a player!

[@tmarenfilm]

Give him the C

[@krog21]

I could see him getting it for the next two seasons. I could also see him being offered the role but declining it and letting Bedard have it.

[@RABSTRAINS]

@@krog21he was in Columbus. I agree with you! Give Nick the C👍

great interview - great (smart) guy
I’m a PENS fan - & I remember when SID was a rookie - he had guys like of course MARIO & Recks & Gonch - but even a few years later Billy Guerin was a huge voice in the locker room & he’s who Foligno reminds me of .
I definitely have a much better perspective of him after watching this interview 👍

our (defacto) captain!

[@Julian-ug3qx]

Give him the C already
