I also have to say, I think you described the way the kill game very accurately. To quibble, however, you're giving their offense too much credit: Colorado has only scored more than two once this year - in the opener against LA. Still, with that defense, that's enough. But the extent to which they need to score first bears emphasizing: the Rapids have lost every game in '08 in which they failed to score first. But here's the kicker: they have shut out the opposition every time they scored first. I’m more impressed by how legit Erpen has looked during ‘08 than anything else.

You know, the ones I've had to watch for the last couple of years. I am very impressed by their effort, which is not something that you could have said for a while.
