On how the postponement impacts preparation for upcoming video games…
“It affects us a little bit because we wanted to train after the game today in order to have the players who didn’t play have a good session tomorrow. Monday and Tuesday we’ll prepare for the Open Cup game because we cannot give them off the whole week because of that game. We’re going to train with the guys who didn’t play today and do a recovery for the players who did. The good thing is we will be rested, we played less than Nashville today. For us it’s also a good thing because we can prepare and have everyone available.”
On conserving the avid gamers targeted all the way through the rain prolong…
“The important thing is to have different plans. Because we need food, like energy bars. Some guys needed treatment and we had all that planned. While the fitness coaches were doing that, we as a staff were reviewing the first half. We got some clips from last year, a game where an opponent who plays similar to St. Louis to find things that worked really well. We had a meeting with the team to show them the clips from the first half to give them a better perspective on how they were playing.”
On the verdict to name the sport being the proper one…
“I think so. The lightning wasn’t going away until 1AM. Sometimes, and I’ve had this in Columbus, you know the length of the lightning is shorter and you’ll wait. But here that wasn’t happening. Twice they told us that we were going to go warm up in a few minutes but then there was lightning. I think it was the best decision, families, and people who had worked today can go home earlier with a proper plan.”
