Q. Walker, what were your thoughts on the game?

WALKER ZIMMERMAN: The emphasis is on fun. It's about celebrating us as players, and the league and growth, and ultimately trying to put together some fun product for the fans.

Unfortunately it's tough as players when you kind of know what to expect, and you put in maybe some different roles, different positions, different tactics. There are a lot of transition moments, and it is pretty open at times.

And we saw that tonight. We saw them capitalize when they had some big chances, and we lacked an ability to capitalize in the first half.

Yeah, you can see it's preseason and their team has their ideas in place following a successful season last year. It's a major loss. That's how it feels.
