It’s been a week since Jeremy Colliton took over as head coach of the Blackhawks. In some ways, it feels longer than that. In reality, he's just getting started.
Coming into a situation where the team had lost five straight games didn't help make the transition easy for Colliton, and dropping his first three contests as an NHL coach hasn't been ideal, either.
But he's been around long enough to get a feel for what he has in the locker room and how his players are responding to the adversity.
Asked what he's learned from this group so far, Colliton didn't hesitate.
