    Observations from the game...

    Meram and Zardes were not on the same page in the first half. Even with the mideseason trade involved, it’s something you hope is worked out as you head into the playoffs.

    This game was a template on how to play us. Pressure high and don’t worry too much about the counter. We aren’t the team of a year or two ago that might punish you on the counter-attack. Every time we broke the pressure, we stopped the attack to set up our players and that gave MN time to get back and get set.

    We won the game we needed to win after we knew we didn’t. And we nearly lost or tied to MN. Maybe knowing we had clinched caused mental relaxation but we should not have blown a two goal lead against MN.

    It'll be official when a pre match thread is started.

    Not by me, mind you.

    My wife saw it on tv and texted me, I could see it on the screen at the stadium. When he came over the the corner, he was all smiles but my god the thing was huge.

    Woke up this morning to hear Son #1 recounting the game to Daughter #3.

    "And the guy kicked the ball over and Gyasi -- *an eruption of sound that could have been mixture of explosions, light sabers, and fist fighting* -- shooted the ball in the goal."

    "Isn't Gyasi like the goodest guy?"

    "Oh yeah."

    These years are going to be fun.


    edit:

    1) Is MR an authoritative source?

    https://www.massivereport.com/2015/6/19/8786055/surviving-the-nordecke-a-beginners-guide

    [Also, keep in mind that the Nordecke is General Admission, meaning you stand anywhere, not what is printed on your ticket.]

    I can say that and say that (as I did), but..

    I may screenshot that part of the piece so that the next asshole who wants to put their phone near enough to my face to show me that their ticket is located in that exact place in the Nordecke, that I can proceed to shove my phone in his (or her) face with that article up. Highlighted. I might even read the sentence out loud if you catch me on a day. Any day really.

    Thoughts?

    This drives me crazy. Can't anyone go directly to goal? Doesn't anyone know how to get a shot off without taking three extra touches? It's better to toe bash the ball toward the goal and hope you get lucky then to lose a challenge and get no shot off.

    That's pretty much how we scored our second--off a rebound of a quick shot.

    I was stuck, as always seems to be the case, in front of an expert who feels he was put on Earth to explain everything to everybody.

    The game hadn't even started yet and I was already sick of this jacktard.

    Then they did the presentation and there was Frankie in what was obviously a Sneaky Pete shirt with "Marino" across the back.

    This guy starts loudly babbling about how Hejduk is so "stupid" that he misspelled "Martino" haw, haw, haw, what a dope.

    I so wanted to turn around and explain that Hejduk's long sleeve bumblebee shirt was worn in 1997, Pete Marino's last year with the team, while Kyle Martino didn't arrive until 2002, long after that shirt had been retired and that Frankies shirt had the correct #12 for Marino while Martino wore the 10 shirt as everyone knows and furthermore you, Sir, are an asshole of the first water.

    I figured that was enough "idiot shaming" to shut the guy up at least for awhile.

    But in the interests of the happy vibe of the occasion,I just changed seats.

    My guy caught me in that mood as well. I just made sure to chant as loud as I could. For the occasion, of course. Mister I-Have-kids, you wanted to stand in the Nordecke in the exact seat you bought. Well enjoy!

    We will have more information from the Dispatch on the coaching situation in... well probably after it has been officially announced by other news outlets. Debatable whether the facts will be right and words will be correctly spelled.

    Probably for the best the league did away with the shootouts, but my goodness what a spectacle.

    Cool to me observation from the game. 2nd half Trapp was central just across midfield and hit a diagonal pass about 35 yards to someone on the wing. Although it looked like it was a ground pass, it must have actually been an inch or so above the grass as it traveled with zero spin. There was no rotation till it touched the ground about half way. Just wicked cool to me that he hit it so dead center on a casual pass.
