CHICAGO _ When the Blackhawks fired Joel Quenneville 15 games into the season, they were 6-6-3 and a few games removed from being one of the NHL's most pleasant surprises.
While the firing was a surprise, the Hawks were on a five-game losing streak and brought in Jeremy Colliton to right the ship. Have things improved since then?

Colliton has now coached the same number of games as Quenneville this season, and his 3-10-2 record is considerably worse. Here are five reasons.
