Last night, a funny moment between the veteran and the rookie was captured by a hot mic.

Foligno got the fans chuckling with a major declaration he made to Connor Bedard at the bench.
Here's what he said:
There's so much to teach you I don't have enough contract time. I'm gonna have to stay in Chicago like five more years after I retire.

A blast from Bedard!

With only 16 games remaining to the Blackhawks' season, it'll be interesting to see if the organization decides to give Foligno a contract extension, as he'll be a free agent next summer.
