Another Game, Another Unhelpful Result

A pretty meh game in DC where the team once again didn't look dangerous until the end.  At least the defense showed up, with some help by Yarbrough making his first ever PK save.  Still a 0-0 draw with an xG of 1.0 doesn't not make for a playoff team.  Over this 3 game East Coast trip the team was outscored 10-1, came back with 1 point, and had a combined xG of less than 3.0 over the 3 games.  The organization can say all they want about still having a shot at the playoffs, but the reality is this isn't a team playing like it.  This is a team that's realized its done for the season and is just going through the motions.

Right now the playoff like looks to be 48 points.  If the Rapids win out they would end up with 48 points.  No, that's not going to happen.
