Colorado’s loss to Chicago Wednesday night was somewhat disheartening. After the debut of a new formation and a big 3-0 win Saturday against San Jose, it felt like the team was trying to get something going, to develop some momentum for a mid-year turnaround. Wednesday wasn’t a catastrophic, season-statement loss. It was a painful step backwards however.
In short, the team regressed to an earlier state where just taking shots was a problem. Chicago had tallied two goals by the 57th minute. The Rapids in that time frame had just two shots; both unimpressive, both from outside the box, and both from Shkelzen Gashi.
