Same story different year. We can’t finish. No touch in the final third. No one dangerous in the box. At all.
In their 4 "restart" games this season (MLS Is Back, Phase 1, COVID break, playoffs) the Rapids have been outscored 13-1.
Not sure Rubio could play with less effort tonight. The loss Is not his fault, but if I see him stand in place one more time...
Every other playoff game goes to PKs it seems. Rapids get the crap kicked out of them. Disappointing.
Deserved loss. Fraser's lineup changes didn't work at all. Disappointing but not completely surprising.
Final pass/finishing was a huge difference tonight. It was tough to watch the first part of each half which showed so much promise only to come away with nothing. After dominating the first 20 minutes or so and not scoring and then creating even more chances at the beginning of the second half without a finish it had to be devastating emotionally. I hate the loon call and the ice hockey PA guy after the goals. Boy do I hope Bassett is back next season. Same for Vines.
Frustrating as they could've scored early and changed the narrative. Oh well ... fitting end to the 2020 season
