Tune in this Sunday to myself and Asa Rehman on 101.1 HD3 and CKNW.com, starting with our pre-match show and ending with our post-match show. Sunday's match kicks off at 6 p.m. PT.
Here are the keys for the shorthanded 'Caps to pick up a result against their Cascadia rivals, Seattle Sounders FC.
Positive reaction
It's been a week of adversity, from falling in the Concacaf Champions Cup Final, to missing players up and down the roster from international duty and illness.
It remains a question mark who is available for this match.
We will need energy and commitment from everyone playing.
Stay organized
Seattle will pose problems.
Some players to watch are Albert Rusnak, Jesus Ferreira, Ryan Kent (ex-Rangers), and even Nouhou.
We need to be tight and organized when we have the ball.
Home support
This is a huge test for our squad.
The fans will be important in this one.
The team will need you!
