In this episode of DNVR Rapids, we dive deep into the Colorado Rapids' recent performances, including *back-to-back draws* for Chris Armas and the burgundy boys. Special guest Sacha Kljestan, former USMNT and MLS star, joins us to break down the Rapids' current form, tactical shifts, and what's next for the club in the 2025 MLS season.

We analyze key players, team mentality, and whether Colorado can turn these ties into wins. Is the Armas era showing promise? What's holding the Rapids back? Sacha gives his expert insight from both a player and analyst perspective.
