Checkers broadcaster Jason Shaya checks in each week with his 10 Thoughts - a series of observations about the team and the hockey world in general. This week: the weekend that was in Iowa, a big fight by Kyle Hagel and more.
Following a win at Iowa that saw the Checkers seemingly shed their offensive woes, the team stumbled in a disappointing loss to wrap up an inconsistent weekend.
With a win on Friday, the Checkers looked as though they were starting to right the ship after a rough start, but the team couldn't keep that momentum going, dropping Saturday's game to leave them at 2-5-0.
