Hope. For the first time in a while the Loons felt like they had hope in a road game. This wasn’t “Lets scrape out a point” or “We’ll be lucky to get a late equalizer.” The Loons had their hands on three points, albeit briefly.

Those didn’t last and DC capitalized on two mistake from rookie Carter Manley to take all three points.
In the first 10 minutes the Loons looked good.
