Jeremy Colliton seemed to be able to tell that every reporter was about to write the same exact story Saturday.
Blackhawks go down 2-0 in the first 3:17 of the first period against the Columbus Blue Jackets, Colliton calls a timeout, the Blackhawks’ play dramatically improves and the Blackhawks win 3-2.
“I think we’re probably overstating it to think that I was the one here,” Colliton said. “I mean, to mean (pause and laugh), it’s ultimately the Blackhawks are the ones who responded to being down, understanding we didn’t start well. I think it’s probably very simplistic to say we called the timeout and then they came back. Ultimately, it’s the players who respond and they played hard, and I’m glad they got rewarded for the win. It’s wasn’t pretty, but we don’t care if it’s pretty at this point in the year, we need points.
