Still riding off the high of Saturday's playoff clinching win at Vancouver the Agenda lads re-convene for a super-sized episode ahead of Sunday's playoff opener. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve lead off with a brief regular season review, talking about what narratives and players stood out since kicking off all the way back in February.
Then it's the first of two interviews, as Garrett sat down with MLS Next Pro Best XI member Sam Sarver. They talk about Sarver's first MLS start in Vancouver, how his first professional season has gone overall, and his goals both this year and going forward.
After that the lads look back at the regular season finale against the Caps, including a pair of impressive team goals in the face of adversity. They also break down how the game could affect how Dallas might line up in game one of the upcoming playoff series.
For a more local preview of the playoffs, Tyler Green of Soccer Talk joins the show to talk all things Whitecaps. Green breaks down a surprising season for the Caps beyond their expectations while updating them on the availability report for Vancouver.
Closing down Garrett and Ryan preview game one of the Whitecaps series, including a reminder of how the MLS Cup playoffs first round functions.
