In addition to this poll (for fun), I'd also like to suggest that the team won't be magically fixed when a new coach/GM is hired. It will take time to repair what is broken.
First win against D.C. No way will they beat L.A. While L.A. hasn't won yet, they've played pretty well in the couple of matches I've seen. The Rapids (can't bring myself to say "we") do have a shot against D.C. however. It looks like Olsen might be out.
1996 record through 6 matches: 2-4 (no shootouts yet) 1997 record through 6 matches: 2-4 (1 loss by SO) 1998 record through 6 matches: 3-3 (2 wins and 2 losses by SO) 1999 record through 6 matches: 4-2 (2 wins and 2 losses by SO) 2000 record through 6 matches: 3-3 2001 record through 6 matches: 2-3-1 2002 record through 6 matches: 3-2-1 2003 record through 6 matches: 0-5-1
D.C. They are nearly as bad, albeit they at least keep losses close. Home field for the second time against them, especially without Olsen, will do the trick, even if Pablo will be gone.
