Despite the fall off over the last 3 weeks, overall the Fire have overachieved my expectations for the opening two months of the season. In the season preview episode of The Hot Cast, I said that if the Fire scored 8 points in their first 10 games, they would be set to capitalize on the incoming Jairo Torres signing by getting hot at the right time and going on a run in May and June. Instead, they have 10 points and have a second player coming in who could be just as impactful as Torres in Chris Meuller.
While I’m sure no one is happy with the last 3 weeks, the Fire are still on schedule to make the playoffs.
