Six Degrees: Two Games, One Goal, and One Last-Second Point
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports 1) Last Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to Colorado was just the second time this year we’ve been shut out. Pretty damn impressive, really.
But in a way, this latest shutout shouldn’t be too surprising, considering how many attackers we were missing. Sebastian Blanco, out for the year. Jaroslaw Niezgoda, out for the year. Jeremy Ebobisse, still not back from a concussion. Diego Valeriand Yimmi Chara, on the bench, getting some well-deserved rest. Eryk Williamson, moved away from his usual #8 position so he could try to replace Valeri at the #10.
That’s, what, six attackers either not playing or playing out of position? It’s only natural the attack looked bad.
