Fighting Hawk Sports dot com goes into a tizzy when suddenly the #FireJax movement begins after a tough loss at home. Things get even crazier when the #FireBerry people see this and realize they made a mistake and shouldn't have gotten him fired and they start yelling at the #FireJax people...but that only makes the #FireHak people even more upset and this forum devolves into people typing in all caps at each other until Saturday...

PS: Does anyone know what Bryn Chyzyk's middle name is? I hope it has some vowels because he is severely lacking in them. Poor guy, I feel bad for him. 

If the website was going to implode this early in the season, it prob would have been after Friday's Clarkson game.

...When UND wins 3-1 for a split in the series. TA detente settles over Fighting Hawks Sports dot com...things are happier and is much calmer and most agree they overreacted.

You heard it here first.

There are three vowels in Bryn Chysyk. He’s fine.

It’d be #AxeJax. Just saying…

Not feeling good about this weekend, I’ll guess loss and tie. Duluth will probly only need to play well on one side of the puck to win. For us, defense will have to refrain from their tendency of getting burned in transition all night long, which I think they are capable of. But to get a win I think the offense will also have to score 3 goals, and I have no confidence in that. Duluth has a top-5 looking first line and we don’t have a first line

Could have avoided all that flood stuff in '97 if we would have had this much sandbagging

I'm curious to see how the team responds defensively.  

Offensively, I would like to see the zone time from Saturday night, but with more opportunities at the net ... which means that guys need to shoot the puck and perimeter shots need to get past the first defender. 

UMD has only given up more than 1 goal twice in their 8 games.  I feel like this series will be like most of our games this year ... a race to 3.

From watching the highlights of them vs the Gophers I have a hard timing seeing our PK look as passive as the gophers did last weekend. Hopefully we minimize time in the box overall but I think we'll fare better from a PK perspective.

 

I don't think its crazy to say we're the best team by a good margin that Duluth will have played this year as well. We've had some growing pains the past couple of weekends but based on last Saturday (yes it's just 1 game) we applied some good lessons learned with how they defended. Think that's what alot of us have griped about the past few years is not seeing enough improvement to show the team is actually learning from past mistakes. IMO we saw that last Saturday. It'll likely be a split but if this team goes out and makes a statement with 2 wins I won't be surprised either.

The growing pains were inevitable with a new head coach and more than half the roster turned over from last season. October is the month to iron out those wrinkles. Last Friday night was hard to watch, but they did what they needed to do and won on Saturday.

I would love a sweep to start the conference schedule, along with the TCoS!

Vowels? 

A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y and W ...

Y is always a vowel unless starting a word or a syllable. I believe I learned that in the fourth grade.
