Colorado Rapids supporters (as usual) are of two minds when reviewing the season opener. In case you haven’t heard, the Colorado Rapids opened the season with a 2-1 loss to the New England Revolution at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, MA—a match that ultimately didn’t get the result they deserved.
Judging from Twitter and other Rapids’ discussion boards, one would have thought that the Rapids lost 10-0. But with 11 shots on goal (5 on target), the Rapids created more chances than the average match from 2017. The Rapids only had 107 total shots on goal in 2017 (divided by 34 games, that’s just over three shots on goal per game).
