I-35 Derby ends in sadness for Route 1 Loons

The Loons were always going to lose the possession war in Kansas City. In two of the last three away games the Loons only saw about 40% of the ball. Somewhat surprisingly they had 62% possession in the 4-2 loss away to Vancouver. The only stat that matters, however, is goals. In Vancouver, the Loons couldn’t finish when they had the ball; in LA they were able to take their few chances to nab a point. Tonight in Kansas City, they had neither the edge in possession, nor in goals, and go home without a point.

From the first minute the Loons looked like they never expect to come away any more than a point.
