Six Degrees: Not The End Of The World

Remember our 2nd game last year? We lost 4-1 on the road to NYRB. Clearly, this isn’t the end of the world.

1) In fact, in many ways, this year’s 4-1 loss is a little better than last year’s 4-1 loss.

Last year, we were playing New York’s B-team. This year, we were playing one of the best teams in the league.

Last year, we had Liam Ridgewell loafing on D. This year, we had some guys playing poorly, but nobody was loafing.

Last year, we had a first year coach and weren’t sure if he knew what he was doing.
