The Only Game Left That Matters

I'm not going to spend too long on this, because we all know what tomorrow is.  Rocky Mountain Cup part 2.  We lost the first game, at home 3-2 so a loss tomorrow means FSL keeps the Cup.  A draw means we need to win our home finale by two to claim it.  A win, which seems very unlikely, means all to play for in the home finale.  If the Rapids want this season to mean anything, to show the fans there's still something to root for here, they have to win this game.  A loss and I think Fraser is fired Monday morning.  Kickoff is at 7:30 on Apple TV.

Availability Report:
OUT: GK William Yarbrough (knee surgery), D Alex Gersbach (tendon surgery), Max (removed from team activities)
QUESTIONABLE: D Keegan Rosenberry (lower body injury), M Jonathan Lewis (lower body injury), , F Diego Rubio (lower body injury) 

I'm not even going to put out a lineup for this one.  Fraser needs to find the 11 players who actually want to try to win this game and put them out there.  As long as one of them isn't Priso.

Prediction: 2-0 loss.  Given how this team has played for the last two months you can't really expect anything but a shutout loss.  Hopefully they surprise us, but I doubt it.
