4 shots on goal, only 1 of which was by the home team. A PK for the only goal of the match. In other words, BORING.
- Can't really complain about the PK. Klute's arm wasn't in an unnatural position but his instinctive reaction was to pull his arm out of the way which had the effect of playing the ball straight up. If he had stayed still it would have been a rough call.
- Watts gets a yellow for dissent after the call, which is stupid enough. The he commits a professional foul getting a justified yellow and ending his season early. Dumb.
- 13 games without a win. That's tied for 9th worse in league history.
- Surprisingly its not even the worst streak this season as San Jose is currently in the middle of a 14 game streak.
- Next week Vancouver will need to match what Portland does to clinch the playoff spot. Our game will kickoff 90 minutes after Portland-Dallas so Vancouver will probably have to start a full strength lineup. Not good odds for breaking the streak.
- Centennial 38's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the year were named at this game. Player of the Year went to Jose Mari, Defensive Player of the Year to Shane O'Neill (For the record I voted for Deshorn Brown for PotY and Jose Mari for Defensive PotY).
Man of the Match: The fan that bought the banner circling the stadium. Not so much for the message (though its hard to disagree given the current state of the team) but because I never thought I'd see a fan that passionate about the Rapids that they're willing to do something like that.
